Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | The author of the bestselling (and controversial!) Grand Canyon: A Different View, Tom Vail teams with co-authors Mike Oard, John Hergenrather, and Dennis Bokovoy to present a one-of-a-kind exploration of the Grand Canyon. It is a massive, beautiful natural landmark carved out by water - but was the Grand Canyon formed slowly over millions of years or quickly after the Flood? This is the essential argument between the evolutionary and the creationist points of view. The Canyon's eight million yearly visitors are presented only the evolutionary view - that is, until now. This unique handbook is a detailed guide to the beautiful sights and landmarks of the Canyon and is an essential tool for families and individuals interested in the park. The guide includes significant geological sites, suggestions for visitors (whether you have a lot of time or a little), biological and historical tidbits, and much more. Has over 25 full color fold out pages. | | | |

 The Biblical Grand Canyon Nov 19, 2008
By Robert Parrish
I've read a lot of guides to sightseeing, both about the Grand Canyon and other places, but never have I read one with more drill-down information about the Canyon itself. Interviews with wranglers, excerpts from the 1869 Powell Report, insights about ecology and geology make this book a highly valued resource.
Best of all, Your Guide to the Grand Canyon presents this wonder of creation as having been formed some 4500 years ago, immediately following Noah's flood. How refreshing to understand the beauty of this awesome landscape from a Biblical perspective.

A Grand "Treasure" for anyone interested in going (or learning) about the Grand Canyon Aug 26, 2010
By Lynda J. Ackert
When planning a trip to the Grand Canyon last year, I did quite a bit of research. I knew my family would have just a few days to explore and get the most out of our time at the Canyon. How I wish I had known about The True North Series: Your Guide to the Grand Canyon published by Master Books.
This single book is like having three books in one:
* A guide to the Grand Canyon's features and points of interest
* A book detailing the Biblical perspective on the formation of the Grand Canyon
* A educational text filled with Science and History
Designed to be both functional and instructional for those wanting to learn about the Grand Canyon, it contains a treasure of information. Information easy to access and easy to understand. Adding in the beautiful illustrations and fun trivia, you will truly enjoy this book long after your trip to the Canyon.
Not planning a trip but simply want to learn more about the Grand Canyon? Maybe you homeschool and want to do a unit study. I would recommend picking up a copy of this book.
Not only will you learn about the features and sites of the Canyon, you'll also read about...
* The Hopi tradition of Hoop Dancing and other interesting facts about Native Americans from the area.
* Interesting facts about Dessert big hornsheep, Clark's nutcrackers, White-tailed Kaibab squirrels and many other species of area wildlife.
* Details between the two major conflicting perspectives surrounding the Canyon, (evolution and creation), listed side by side for easy comparison.
So whether you are planning a trip to the Grand Canyon or just wanting to learn more about it, The True North Series: Your Guide to the Grand Canyon is worth having!

Grand Canyon - a Different Perspective Oct 15, 2009
By R. Osterman
Excellent tour guide telling the truth of how the Grand Canyon was formed - a massive flood a few thousand years ago, not a trickle of water called the Colorado River over eons. We used it everywhere we went on the South Rim. The text is very informative and the pictures are great. We had people asking to see it. I would recommend this book to anyone.
