Animal Tracks of the Rocky Mountains: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico

Book Description

Since antiquity, bats have been misunderstood and shrouded in mystery. Given misnomers such as fledermaus ("flying mouse") and murciegalo ("blind mouse"), these nocturnal flying mammals were even classified as primates by the great Carl Linnaeus, based on his knowledge of the anatomy of large Old World fruit bats. In this beautifully illustrated volume, bat specialist Rick A. Adams delves into bats' true nature and the roles these fascinating ledurblaka ("leather flutterers") play in the natural history and ecology of the Rocky Mountain West.

Book Description

Beautiful photographs of elk from some of the country's leading wildlife photographers grace the pages of this user-friendly wall calendar. All phases of the elk's year are depicted, from the winter's struggle for food, to the idyllic summer, to autumn's bugling and rut. The calendar also shows elk from different regions, supplements the photographs with quotes from Bugle magazine, and provides a brief introduction.

Published in cooperation with Bugle magazine and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.

Book Description

Majesty. Too grand a word? Hardly. The challenge rises in trying to describe a great wild ruggedness with a language born on a small island of green hills. Or, on a deeper level, trying to reduce the imperfect harmony of a roaring flute-an 800-pound, urine soaked, mud-slathered, wild-eyed flute-to a few flat syllables. Plenty of folks have tried. And a few, in sublime moments, have crossed over, the pages of their books suddenly smelling like pine duff and elk musk. Those sublime moments are gathered together here-the words of dozens of people who have loved elk and elk country over the past century. And these passages are coupled with a language of greater clarity-photographs that need no words, images that ring with something very much like the sound of a faint bugle drifting down out of the fog. Listen well as you turn these pages. There is majesty here.

Customer Reviews:

Outstanding, the pictures are breath taking.......1999-02-06

This is one of the best picture books of all time if you are a elk lover. The people who made this book really out did themselves.
