An anthology of essays fiction and poetry by 32 Montana writers celebrating and honoring the unique environmental aesthetic cultural and economic value of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) especially the regions of this ecosystem that fall within Montana: The Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Paradise Valley the Gallatin Range and the federal state and private lands that connect these regions. The book calls for the withdrawal of mining permits within the GYE; in particular for preventing two gold mining threats in Park County Montana just north of Yellowstone National Park.
