Synopsis "America's National Parks (Mini Book)"
Gorgeous photography celebrates the snowy vistas of Denali in Alaska, the lava flows in Hawaii's Volcano National Park, and the drama of Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, and dozens more, from sea to shining sea. Founded in 1872, the United States National Park System began with Yellowstone, and has since expanded into 59 protected areas across the U.S. This mini-book on the National Parks contains writings on, and hundreds of breathtaking photographs of, scenic landscapes found nationwide, from the Grand Canyon to Yosemite to White Sands to the Everglades. With more than 200 glorious images, The National Parks is comprehensive, stunningly beautiful, and always inspiring, a revelation as to the way humankind interacts with the parks, and how the story of the national parks is also a tribute to the people who visit, explore, and tirelessly work to preserve these cherished American landscapes.
