The Story of Yellowstone is for anyone interested in Yellowstone, taking you through all of its major periods—from the formation of Earth’s crust billions of years ago to the modern day. Topics include the age of the dinosaurs, the Yellowstone supervolcano, the ice ages and their megafauna, wildfire, Native Americans’ ancient connection to the park, and the near extinction and later restoration of its wolves, grizzly bears and other wildlife.

I hope millions of park visitors pick up The Story of Yellowstone and learn far more about the park than they can in a two-day visit. It would add both greater understanding and enjoyment of Yellowstone to those who have just visited it or who are headed there.
