Abstract
This geological guide will assist tourists to choose and visit easily accessible sites that exemplify the sensational vistas in Banff, Jasper and Yoho National Parks. It was this breathtaking scenery for which the parks were given status as a UNESCO Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. The route is along the principle highways from Canmore to Banff, to Lake Louise, a side trip to Field, BC, back to Lake Louise and then north to Jasper through the Icefields Parkway. Explanations, color photographs, illustrations and maps highlight the geology for 50 sites. Mountains, rivers, glaciers and 500 million year fossils of the Burgess Shale are described. The book will assist travellers on how to arrive at a viewpoint, where to park and where to walk. Travellers interested in natural history such as birding, the vegetation and wildlife will want this book to understand the geological wonders that they are. Dale Leckie is an award-winning geologist who is internationally recognized for his many contributions to geology. Dale has a Ph.D. in Geology from McMaster University (1984), a M.Sc in Geography from McMaster University (1980) and B.Sc. in Geography from University of Alberta (1977). Dale Leckie is a Professional Geologist who has worked as a scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada and as Chief Geologist in a large Canadian energy company. He has edited numerous books and published over a 100 refereed papers most of those on the geology of Western Canada. He is an Adjunct Professor in the Geoscience Department at the University of Calgary. Dale has been President of the Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM) and Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists (CSPG). He has been leading geological field trips into the Rocky Mountains throughout his career. (from McNally Robinson website)

Abstract
The Banff Hot Springs is an iconic location with a long and storied history, having been first found and used by indigenous peoples. In 1883, Canadian Pacific Railway workers found the springs, which led to the development of Banff National Park and tourism in the Canadian Rockies. But the geologic history encompassed in the rocks of the Banff area extends back more than a billion years. In Understanding the Banff Hot Springs through Karst Hydrogeology, Chas Yonge looks at the Banff Hot Spring system from a new perspective: that of karst. Karst landforms are created by dissolution of rock, which leads to some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. This karst perspective leads to some very different conclusions regarding the nature of the hot springs. For example: How old is the thermal water? How far has it travlled underground? And how extensive are its pathways? Anyone with an interest in the science behind the Banff Hot Springs and exploring the local geology and landscape of the Canadian Rockies will find this book the perfect answer to their curiousity. Featuring a foreword by Arthur N. Palmer, Professor of Hydrogeology, Emeritus, at State University of New York. As of a few years ago, Chas Yonge was the former owner and operator of Canmore Cave Tours, offering interpretive tours underground. He has been an enthusiastic caver for almost 50 years, taking him all over the world. Since earning a PhD in karst paleoclimatology, he has applied isotope studies to karst, culminating in a number of publications. He has been an adjunct professor at the University of Calgary and is currently a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society. (From Amazon website)
