Between 1889 and 1890,
Robert Brewster Stanton made photographs every one to two miles through the river corridor
for the purpose of planning a water-level railroad route; he produced the largest
collection of photographs of the Colorado River
at one point in time. Robert Webb, a USGS hydrologist conducting research on debris flows
in the Canyon, obtained the photographs, and from 1989 to 1995, he replicated all 445 of
the views captured by Stanton, matching as closely as possible the original camera
positions and lighting conditions. Grand Canyon, a Century of Change assembles the most
dramatic of these paired photographs to demonstrate both the persistence of nature and the
presence of humanity.

“Harvey Butchart hiked more than 12,000 miles in a combined total of 1,000 days — a distance comparable to walking halfway around the earth. He is credited with finding more than 116 approaches to the Colorado River, and with summiting 83 of the 138 named peaks in the Canyon, 35 of those being first ascents."
The canyon's myriad colors come alive in this detailed collection of 140 flowering plants. Over 160 color photographs, a durable binding, and washable cover make this guide perfect for the field or family room.
