The Geysers of Yellowstone, Fifth Edition

By T. Scott Bryan

Book Overview

This new edition of The Geysers of Yellowstone is the most up-to-date and comprehensive reference to the geysers of Yellowstone National Park, describing in detail each of the more than five hundred geysers in the park. The entire text has been revised and geyser descriptions have been updated based on activity observed through early 2018. Information about a number of significant new geyser developments has been added, as well as recent knowledge about some of the world's geyser fields outside Yellowstone.

Both a reference work and a fine introduction to the nature of geyser activity, this popular field guide includes a glossary of key terms, a comprehensive appendix that discusses other geyser areas of the world, detailed maps of each geyser basin, and tables for easy reference. The Geysers of Yellowstone will continue to serve geyser gazers as well as newcomers to geothermal phenomena for years to come.

Nice reference

I read this prior to our recent trip to Yellowstone and then took it with us. Interesting reading and a good reference while in park.

Don't go to Yellowstone with out it!

We first borrowed a copy from the library, but knew we wanted it to carry in our backpack. Purchased the paperback and it arrived in time. We used it endlessly while in the park. Wouldn't want to go to Yellowstone without it now.

The definitive guide for Yellowstone geysers, and a lot more

If the phenomenon of geysers interests you, this is your book. It should be the yardstick by which all others on the subject are measured. Superbly well organized, and written, this book readily conveys the author's enthusiasm for the subject. I would have preferred a few more color photographs in addition to the cover, but this is a minor quibble. The black and white photos are chosen carefully, and give a good idea of the feature involved.The book discusses all known geysers in Yellowstone, which park contains a substantial majority of these features on the planet. Maps are supplied, and are easily deciphered. Data is given concerning the eruptive pattern of each geyser, where known, and this proved most helpful during a recent trip to this magnificent area. The feature I enjoyed the most was the detailed appendix, setting forth all known geyser fields anywhere on Earth. I guarantee some of the locations and features will surprise you. The author also discuuses which of these fields are most endangered by unwise development of geothermal power.Very, very highly recommended. Indeed, I should say it is indispensible for anyone planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park. Enjoy.

Indispensable geyser guide

Now in its third edition and completely revised, this geyser Bible remains the definitive guide to Yellowstone's erupting thermal features. Detailed maps of each of Yellowstone's geyser basins and colorful descriptions of every known geyser make the book both easy to read and easy to use when stalking eruptions of even the most elusive geysers. A fascinating list of all the world's other known geyser regions, many of which have suffered from geothermal development, makes the reader realize all the more what a special place Yellowstone really is.

The #1 authority on geothermal features in Yellowstone.

The Geysers of Yellowstone is the most supurbly written field guide on geysers and hot springs in Yellowstone National Park. It is an invaluable resource for new and old geyser gazers alike. If one truly wishes to appreciate and understand these natural wonders, The Geysers of Yellowstone should become a part of your library.
