Insiders' Guide To South Dakota's Black Hills and Badlands

by T.D. Griffith
"If you have already seen South Dakota's Black Hills, chances are that you saw its majestic, tree-cover peaks in films like Dances with Wolves and North by Northwest. Fortunately, an ever-increasing number of Americans are discovering that this region is even more breathtaking in person than it is onscreen. Wise travelers, however, know that trips to the Black Hills and Badlands require careful planning; there's just too much to see by just poking around. (Remember the area is home to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Jewel Cave National Monument, Wind Cave National Park, vast Custer State Park, Bear Butte State Park, Devils Tower National Monument, Crazy Horse Memorial and Harney Peak!) The updated fifth edition of the trustworthy guide provides nearly 400 pages of current information on these awesome natural settings."  (Publisher Content)

Even as the country fills with ever-wider highways,by some estimates, an area the size of Ohio is now given over to road asphalt, and the level of climate-changing particulates rises, other countries are rushing to add to their inventory of highways, especially aspiring China (which is "on course to equal us in cars" by about 2025) and India."
