About This Book

Een uitgestrekt hooggelegen natuurgebied toont een landschap gevormd door oude vulkanische uitbarstingen, met talrijke hete bronnen, geisers en travertijnformaties; sommige concentraties vullen hele dalen of berghellingen. De auteur behandelt de geologische oorsprong en verscheidenheid van deze verschijnselen, beschrijft voorzieningen voor bezoekers zoals wegen, hotels en kampeerplaatsen, en belicht het beheer dat industrie en permanente bewoning uitsluit ten behoeve van behoud en publiek genot. Tevens komen klimaat en seizoensgebonden onbegaanbaarheid, de rol van militair-politionele bewaking en het alledaagse toeristische gebruik van de bossen aan bod.

About the Author

de Vries, Hugo portrait

Hugo de Vries

Hugo de Vries was a Dutch botanist and geneticist, best known for his pioneering work in the field of evolution and heredity. He introduced the mutation theory, which proposed that new species arise from sudden genetic changes rather than gradual evolution. His influential book, "Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation," laid the groundwork for modern genetics and had a significant impact on the study of evolution. In addition to his scientific contributions, de Vries wrote on various topics, including natural history and geology, as seen in his works like "Het Yellowstone-Park" and "De aardbeving van San Francisco." His research continues to resonate in contemporary biological sciences.
