Booklist—"With an inviting, browsable design and a chatty style, this large-sized volume in the Discover Your World series covers 15 national monuments and parks in the U.S. that celebrate and protect natural phenomena - from volcanoes and caves to glaciers, trees, and sand dunes - and discusses their geology, botany, chemistry, zoology, and much more... The informal talk does away with intimidating jargon ("Slug slime is one of the best natural glues"), and the science will excite readers... Always the conservation message is rooted in the truth of what is being lost and what to do about it. "

CLEAR REVIEW—"The science and history is explained behind the monuments featured in this book. This includes "words to know" and activities with supply lists for each chapter. This is a great resource for explaining science concepts in natural environments."
