LIFE IN STONE: FOSSILS OF THE COLORADO PLATEAU By Christa Sadler This beautifully illustrated book written for the general audience tells the story of the ancient life that inhabited the region of the southwestern United States known as the Colorado Plateau.

This is a great book to have along if you're traveling through the region, or if you are simply interested in the story of life on our planet. Published by the Grand Canyon Association.
