Designs upon Nature: The First Cultural Landscape History of Yellowstone National Park 

In 1872 Yellowstone became America’s and the world’s first national park, preserving some of Earth’s most spectacular natural scenery. Although more than 950 books have been published on its natural wonders, until now no one book has treated its entire history and cultural landscape nor told the story of how it became a laboratory for an emerging National Park Service architectural style.

William Wyckoff, Ph.D., is a geography professor at Montana State University who specializes in the cultural and historical geography of North America and the American West. His research interests also include world regional geography and the history of geographical thought.

Karl Byrand has a Ph.D. in geography from the University of Maryland, College Park, and an M.S. in earth sciences from Montana State University-Bozeman. He chaired the department of geography and geology at the University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan and is now a professor emeritus in the University of Wisconsin System.
