With over 500,000 copies sold in 5 languages, this is a "must have" book on the Grand Canyon. "The Grand Canyon," available again in paperback, shows the elements of color, contour, and immensity of the Grand Canyon. Stewart Aitchison details the area's biology and geology, taking readers from the Sonoran-type desert at the bottom of the Grand Canyon to alpine tundra at the summit of the nearby San Francisco Peaks.
Aitchison details the area's natural and human history, and also introduces readers to the variety of plant and animal communities that reside there.

When not writing, he escorts natural history trips on the Coloorado Plateau, Southeast Alaska, and Mexico's Baja Peninsula. He makes his home in Flagstaff, Arizona, with his wife Ann and daughter Kte.
