Colorful photos and illustrations enable young readers to get up close and personal with Yosemite’s waterfalls, Giant Sequoia trees, sheer granite walls, and, of course, those famous black bears. This guide also recommends gear for a national park visit and offers safety tips, a wildlife observation how-to and birding guide, tips on managing a wildlife encounter, and a guide to rock climber lingo and a difficulty ratings system. Also featured are detailed accounts of famous climbs, tips on how to protect the park and keep it green, an historical timeline, and a list of popular hikes.

Secrets of the Sequoias
Take your kids on an adventure with the Parker family to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in California with Mike Graf's newest book, Secrets of the Sequoias, from Farcountry Press. Sequoias are the largest trees in the world - imagine a tree that's one and a half times bigger than a Boeing 747! And it grows from a tiny seed the size of an oatmeal flake! How does a sequoia grow so big? Tag along with the Parkers - twins James and Morgan and their parents - and learn all about sequoias as they hike among the giant trees, explore dark caves, scramble up huge granite domes, and cool off in the spray from amazing waterfalls. They even climb to the top of 14,494-foot Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the lower forty-eight states. There's a new adventure at every turn, from encountering black bears to meeting an old man who lives in a giant log. Lace up your hiking boots and join James and Morgan as they uncover the Secrets of the Sequoias!
Lessons Learned
IAF organizer and supervisor Arnie Graf tells five substantive stories from his work in San Antonio, Baltimore, Washington DC, Boston, and London that illustrate the "universal principles" of organizing developed by the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), including power, self-interest, relational meetings, no permanent allies or enemies, breaking problems into issues, action in the reaction, the positives of tension, training and evaluation, and the necessity of people and their institutions to demand real respect and recognition rather than grudging tolerance in the public arena.
