Slickrock

A book which describes the unique beauty and fragile ecology of Utah, which was, at time of writing, already threatened by destruction due to tourism, pollution, etc. Illustrated throughout with lush, color photography by Philip Hyde. Text by Edward Abbey. Scores of dazzling color photographs taken of what Abbey described as "the one part of Earth that is still almost as it was before man began to tinker with the land -- a piece of Utah that ought to remain that way."
