The San Francisco Peaks and Flagstaff Through the Lens of Time -- John L. Vankat

<b>"Faithfully documented repeat photographs provide the context that helps us understand our beautiful and challenged mountain landscape."</b><i>-Peter Z. Fulé, Regents' Professor of Forestry, Northern Arizona University</i> <p/> In this eye-catching visual essay celebrating the San Francisco Peaks and Flagstaff, watch more than 150 years unfold in over one hundred historical photographs and drawings precisely paired with their modern-day counterparts. <p/> Ecologist, educator, and writer John L. Vankat reveals the telling details that bring the past alive. The result is an invitation to time-travel, appealing to anyone interested in nature, culture, or history. <p/> In these striking landscapes at the apex of Arizona, humans have altered much of the natural environment, but the storied San Francisco Peaks remain a touchstone of beauty and emotion. Vankat gives us a chance to see and celebrate this special place as it was, to understand it today--and to consider what its past and present say about the future of the American West. <p/><b>"Engaging, historically revealing, and scientifically sound, this book sets the standard for documenting long-term regional landscape changes."</b><i> -William Wallace Covington, Emeritus Regents' Professor, School of Forestry, Northern Arizona University</i> <br><br><br><b>Author:</b> John L.
