The real reports behind the surroundings of America's countrywide parks. For 12 years, Andrea Lankford resided in the largest, most impressive countrywide parks in the world, working a job she loved. She chaperoned baby sea turtles on the journey to sea. She pursued criminals on her galloping patrol equine. She jumped into rescue helicopters bound for the heart and soul of the Grand Canyon. She received quarrels with bears. She slept with a few too many rattlesnakes. Hell yeah, it was the best job in the world! Luckily for us, Andrea survived it. On this graphic yet surprisingly funny accounts of her and others' astonishing occupations, Lankford unveils a world in which park rangers struggle to maintain their idealism when confronted with loss of life, disillusionment, and the loss of a comrade killed while having that thin renewable line between guarding the park from the people, the people from the park, and the people from one another. Ranger Confidential is the story behind the surroundings of the country's crown jewels - Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Great Smokies, Denali. In these iconic panoramas, where dynamics and humanity constantly collide, surroundings can be as cruel as it is redemptive.
