About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Join us for the launch of Wildlife, Lanscapes, and Geology an Alberta & Saskatchewan Touring Guide.

From the Rocky Mountains to the rain shadow of the prairies, from deeply entrenched rivers having prairie oases, and glaciated terrain, geology has a strong impact on wildlife. The relationship between wildlife and landscape is explored and exemplifed in the lives of golden eagles over the Rockies, the American pika and eroding mountains, of burrowing owls on glaciated plains, and greater short-horned lizards surviving in a vast rain shadow. In this richly written and illustrated guide, Leckie interweaves science with spectacular photos and beautiful art to take you to the most interesting places in the prairie provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Presented in Partnership with Shelflifebooks.
