IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Silver Medalist
THE SLICKROCK DESERT is the story of a land unlike any other on earth. Come with author Stephen W. Hinch as he explores the mesas and the canyons of the Four Corners Region of the American Southwest-the Slickrock Desert. Along the way you will discover its history, natural history, geology, ecology, and what we know of its earliest inhabitants. And you will revel in its beauty in a series of inspiring photographs. But all is not well in this magnificent land. You will also learn of the threats from those who would destroy it forever for short-term gain, and of the work being done by dedicated individuals and groups to protect it. It is a story every lover of the American wilderness needs to know.

Acerca del Autor
Hinch, Stephen W.
Stephen W. Hinch has explored the lands of the American Southwest for over forty years, either on solo hikes into remote areas or with like-minded photographers on multi-day expeditions. A recognized expert on the use of GPS in the outdoors, his book, Outdoor Navigation with GPS, now in its third edition, is a bestselling guide to the subject. He is the author of four books and a contributing author to three more. Trained as an electrical engineer, he holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Engineering degrees from Harvey Mudd College. He has received three patents in telecommunications technologies. Steve claims his expeditions into the wilderness have been a necessary counterpoint to his life as a senior executive in the high-technology industry.Garantía & Otros
