- Summary
- "Look through The Lens of Time with two observers who have been examining landscape change in the Canadian Rockies for over twenty-five years - national park biologist Cliff White and Canadian Rockies historian Ted Hart. Working with historical photographs, White has retraced the steps of the original photographers and taken new shots in the same locales, a technique known as "repeat photography." Comparing these images side by side, White and Hart show the dramatic changes to the Rockies landscape that have occurred in the past 125 years."--BOOK JACKET.
