Jeff Rennicke
I was born in a town along a river, Jeff Rennicke says, and rivers
have flowed through my life ever since. A writer and former river
guide, Rennicke is as at home with a pen as he is with a paddle. In
addition to rafting rivers throughout the American West, Canada, and
Alaska, Rennicke has joined expeditions in such far-flung regions as
Siberia and China. A frequent contributor to NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELER,
his story about running Idahos Snake River (Americas Deepest Canyon,
March/April 1993) won a gold medal from the Society of American Travel
Writers. Rennicke is also the author or co-author of eight books,
including River Days and The Rivers of Colorado. His latest book,
Exploring Canadas Spectacular National Parks, was recently published by
the National Geographic Book Division. He and his family live in
Bayfield, Wisconsin. |

A professional photographer for 20 years, Michael Melford has shot for
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELER, Life, Smithsonian, Time, Travel Holiday, Geo,
and other magazines. He splits his time between travel and corporate
photography, both of which have earned him many honors. His work has
taken him all over the United States as well as to most parts of the
globe . . . just about anywhere a camera will go.
An avid sports enthusiast and adventurer, Melford has photographed from
the ocean floor as well as high above the clouds. When his feet are on
the ground, he lives with his family in Mystic, Connecticut. |

Chuck Carter
After working for ten years as a newspaper illustrator and graphic
artist, Chuck Carter joined Cyan, a game company in Spokane, Washington. There, he helped produce the graphics for the popular CD-ROM game Myst. He also designed The Manhole Masterpiece Edition, a whimsical 3-D CD-ROM for children.
A freelance computer illustrator for National Geographic since 1992,
Carter currently makes his living by designing 3-D graphics for games
and the Internet.
Carter lives in southern Utah with his wife, Janet, and their three
sons, Zack, Danny, and Max. April the cat and a German shepherd called
Nimbus round out the family. The Carters enjoy hiking and exploring the
canyons, mountains, and deserts of the Southwest. |
