Geologist Dale Leckie, Ph. D., author of The Scenic Geology of Alberta, explains how the landscape of Alberta's most scenic sites evolved into what they are today. Leckie tells the intriguing story of Alberta's landscape evolution from Waterton Lakes National Park, to Dinosaur Provincial Park, into the Prairies and across the North. Using eye-catching illustrations and photographs from trips to Edmonton, Calgary, Crowsnest Pass, and Elk Island National Park, he takes you to explore volcanoes and glaciations long past. Leckie blends storytelling with science, incorporating the natural beauty of Alberta's landscape with art and history. Leckie's book The Scenic Geology of Alberta gives you what you need to discover the spectacular landforms of Alberta.
