520    "Wild Rescues is a fast-paced, firsthand glimpse into the 
       exciting lives of paramedics who work with the National 
       Park Service: a unique brand of park rangers who respond 
       to medical and traumatic emergencies in some of the most 
       isolated and rugged parts of America. In 2014, Kevin 
       Grange left his job as a paramedic in Los Angeles to work 
       in a response area with 2.2 million acres: Yellowstone 
       National Park. Seeking a break from city life and urban 
       EMS, he wanted to experience pure nature, fulfill his 
       dream of working for the National Park Service, and take a
       crash-course in wilderness medicine. Between calls, Grange
       reflects upon the democratic ideal of the National Park 
       mission, the beauty of the land, and the many threats 
       facing it. With visitation rising, budgets shrinking, and 
       people loving our parks to death, he realized that-along 
       with the health of his patients-he was also fighting for 
       the life of "America's Best Idea."--|cProvided by
