E. (Alexandria) Bartram--a spirited young woman with a love for botany--is invited to join a field study in Yellowstone National Park. The study's leader, a mild-mannered professor from Montana, assumes she is a man, and is less than pleased to discover the truth. Once the scientists overcome the shock of having a woman on their team, they forge ahead on a summer of adventure, forming an enlightening web of relationships as they move from Mammoth Hot Springs to a camp high in the backcountry. But as they make their way collecting amid Yellowstone's beauty, the group is splintered by differing views on science, nature, and economics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Brimming with humor, excitement, and the romance of the Yellowstone landscape, \u003ci\u003eLetters from Yellowstone\u003c\/i\u003e is a love letter to the joys of scientific discovery and America's majestic natural beauty, as well as a thoughtful reflection on environmentalism, Native American displacement, and feminism at the dawn of a new century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0140291814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140291810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/25\/2000 pg. 28","brand":"Diane Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044192907519,"sku":"9780140291810","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8a43609-9a2e-4dcd-a122-00ccf614d37d.jpg?v=1684971454","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/letters-from-yellowstone-diane-smith-9780140291810","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
