Last of the Robbers Roost Outlaws: Moab's Bill Tibbets
Tom McCourt
The story of Bill Tibbetts is an exciting tale of one man's journey as a wanted man: his grit, gumption and loyalty to the land and his family.
In the early 1900s, much of southern Utah was still untamed, unnamed and unexplored. To a bold adventurous boy like Bill Tibbetts, the place was magic. Cowboys still bucked-out wild horses and chased renegade bands of Indians.
Much of this nostalgic read takes place in what is now Canyonlands National Park. It is the story of a real man, a real cowboy and a real outlaw.

Carving Grand Canyon: Evidence, Theories and Mystery
Wayne Ranney
Although scientists have studied the Grand Canyon for more than 150 years, a definitive answer as to how or when the canyon formed eludes the world's most powerful minds. Scientists agree that the erosive power of the Colorado River carved the canyon, but the river itself carried away the evidence of its earlier history. Carving Grand Canyon highlights the intriguing ideas and innovative theories that geologists have developed over time. The story of the evolution of a fascinating landscape is told in an engaging style that everyone will find inviting.

Mesa Verde: The Living Park
The Living Park introduces the cultures of the Colorado Plateau that came before written history - the makeup of their societies, their hunting and farming, their art, and their most prominent legacy, the architecture of Mesa Verde. It reveals archaeologists' latest thinking: What challenges did Ancestral Puebloans face in this land of capricious climate and strained resources? What forced them, in the end, to move away? What lessons might we take from their example? A living park? Decidedly.
