Author Description

"Lost in My Own Backyard brings author Tim Cahill together with one of his - and America's - favorite destinations: Yellowstone, the world's first national park." "Cahill stumbles from glacier to geyser, encounters wildlife (some of it, like bisons, weighing in the neighborhood of a ton), muses on the microbiology of thermal pools, gets spooked in the mysterious Hoodoos, sees moonbows arcing across waterfalls at midnight, and generally has a fine old time walking several hundred miles while contemplating the concept and value of wilderness."--BOOK JACKET.
