Books by Jack Turner

Focuses on the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of America's greatest natural treasures. This title covers the Teton Range, the Oregon Trail in the Red Desert, and the South Fork of the Snake River. It also covers things from the treacherous mountains in the dead of winter to lush river valleys in the height of fishing season.

This work covers a mountain range, its climbs, its weather and the glory of the wild. It is also about a small group of climbers, nomads, who inhabit the Teton range each summer, and gives an account of what it is like to live and work in these spectacular mountains.

The election of America's first black president has led many to believe that race is no longer a real obstacle to success and that remaining racial inequality stems largely from the failure of minority groups to take personal responsibility for seeking out opportunities. The author upends this view.
