{"product_id":"9780991499045","title":"Colorado's Yampa River: Free Flowing \u0026 Wild from the Flat Tops to the Green","description":"\u003cp\u003eColorado's Yampa River today is a delicately balanced bio-physical system that offers sustainable food and water for wildlife and humans alike. Upon closer examination, the Yampa is the result of at least 30 million years of geological processes, 300,000 years of biological evolution, 5,000 years of Native American utilization and only 200 years of Anglo exploitation. Yet the Yampa and its interconnected resources still function almost as they have for eons; a wonderful anomaly in an otherwise river-whacked Colorado River basin. But there are proposals to undo this evolutionary masterpiece, all in a matter of ten years, to support unsustainable population growth on the east slope of Colorado.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJoin Colorado nature photographer John Fielder and river rat Pat Tierney as they photograph and write their way down the entire 200-mile length of the river from the Flat Tops Wilderness to the Yampa's confluence with the Green River in Dinosaur National Monument. Between Fielder's sublime images of mountain tundra wildflowers, eagles and elk, and the various canyons of the Yampa, and Tierney's human and natural history text, you will feel like you are rowing along with the authors!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Fielder Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014107316464,"sku":"9780991499045","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780991499045_p0.jpg?v=1763945538","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780991499045","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
