The Rockies: The rugged yet haunting beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the abundance of wildlife that thrives in the wilderness environment of alpine slopes and valleys are captured in this unique work, one of the most visually striking books ever produced in Canada.

The Rockies combines the extraordinary talents of twenty-five nationally and internationally known photographers with the lyrical writing style of Andy Russell, a naturalist and filmmaker whose name is synonymous with adventure in the high country of the Canadian West.

A lifetime spent in the mountains enables Russell to interpret their story as few writers can. In an evocative and entertaining text, Russell describes his fifty-year fascination with mystique of the Rockies, his personal encounters with grizzly, elk, moose, beaver and other wildlife, and his far-ranging travels, by packtrain and on foot, through magnificent terrain, much of it never before photographed.

One hundred and twenty photographs, all in vibrant colour, portray the Rockies in every mood and season, celebrating the splendour of an unspoiled, untouched wilderness that has endured for centuries, yet is today threatened by man's encroachments.
