103 pages~2 hr 3 min read66 chapters$4.99
How did the Tetons rise so sharply, with no foothills to soften them? A veteran geologist answers, telling the story of Grand Teton from an astronaut's view, a pilot's, and a motorist's. Faults, glaciers, and time built the range you see. Clear enough for any traveler, deep enough to change how you look at mountains.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
