"A stunning visual journey through America's national parks and wildlands."―Good Morning America

With more than two hundred photographs - many rarely seen and some never before published - this is the most comprehensive collection of Ansel Adams' photographs of America's national parks and wilderness areas. For many people, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, and other iconic American wildlands exist in the mind's eye as Ansel Adams photographs. The legendary photographer explored more than forty national parks in his lifetime, producing some of the most indelible images of the natural world ever made. One of the twentieth century's most ardent champions of the park and wilderness systems, Adams also helped preserve additional natural areas and protect existing ones through his photographs, essays, and letter-writing campaigns.

Edited and with commentary by Andrea G. Stillman, the foremost expert on Adams' work, this landmark publication includes quotations by Adams on the making of numerous photographs and essays by Wallace Stegner, William A. Turnage of The Ansel Adams Trust, and journalist and critic Richard B. Woodward. This is a must-own for Ansel Adams fans and all those who, like Adams, treasure America's wilderness.

Beautiful just like all of Ansel Adams' books on Little, Brown. This is a beautiful book of Adams' National Parks images printed by his exclusive official publisher going back 40+ years, from vintage prints made by the master himself. Most AA 'National Parks' books by other publishers contain government reproductions of inferior quality--copy prints and/or prints by government workers from negatives in the National Archives. If you know anything about AA's darkroom craft you'll understand why these are in no way, shape or form "Ansel Adams photographs" in the true, art historical sense. Do yourself and the artist a favor and pass on these other, less expensive books. Spend a few extra dollars for an authentic product--one that does the images justice. High quality paper and printing is expensive, and this book is a real bargain considering.Pictures are printed much too small to convery any sense of the artistry of Ansel Adams The writing is quite good and the selection of the pictures was also good. The problem is that with the type of paper used and the very small size of the pictures ( if fails to convey the artistry of Ansel Adams. It is like looking at a Rembrandt painting reduced to a postcard. The pages are 8 x9.75 inches in size but there are landscape images that are 5.75 x 4.25 inches in size - i.e. postcard sized.Don't waste your money on this book but put it towards a full size reproduction to hand on your wall.Great but small photographs This is an interesting book. The photographs are exceptional albeit a little small. (I know, this was in keep with much of Ansel Adams work, it just would be nice to see these photographs larger to see the gradation and the detail.)
