"Three and a half million people see Yellowstone National Park every year, but few people see as clearly and deeply into the park as Michael Leach. Yellowstone’s combination of natural attributes and human oddities makes it a truly weird and wonderful place. Leach lifts a curtain, lets you see a layer of the park the casual visitor would never know. He writes with equal admiration for the subtleties and splendor—and the understanding that sometimes the subtleties are the splendor. Leach provides glimpses of the people—from biologists to law enforcement staff to astonishing gym rats in the border town of Gardiner—and the animals that make Yellowstone a world unto itself. Whether writing about famous wolves, dinosaur bones, arrowheads, marmots or grizzly bears, Leach writes with a passion that is as inspiring as his subject. His journey of discovery through Yellowstone is both public and poignantly personal. Treat yourself to this unique and passionate perspective on America’s greatest national park." —Jeff Hull, author of Pale Morning Done and Streams of Consciousness
