Each of the 850 entries by Gretel Ehrlich (Wyoming), William Kittredge (Montana) Terry Tempest Williams (Colorado Plateau) and other luminaries deftly sketches a distinctive physical feature from 'a'a (Hawaii's rough lava floes) and aquifer to slot canyon, slough, tableland, wharf and woodlot. With 100 line drawings and quotes for the works of American authors including by Willa Cather, Truman Capote, John Updike, Cormac McCarthy, and others.
