Gr 4-8-- A concise compilation of interesting facts and history about the state. The text, photographs, and maps are nicely interwoven to give a clear picture of the region; readers are treated to a colorful tour of the many fascinating geographical areas--the deserts of the south to the high alpine Vinta and Wasatch mountain ranges. The history begins with the ancient Indian Basket Maker cultures, which inhabited the region over 12,000 years ago, and ends with the current-day state of affairs. Other chapters paint an interesting panorama of the quality of life and working conditions or describe efforts to protect wildlife. The ``Fact-at-a-Glance'' section is accurate and has many useful bits of information. --Stephen W. Zsiray, Jr., Cache County School District, North Logan, UT
