America's national parks and historical sites embody the American spirit. These epic locales are windows to our past, homes to some of our rarest plants and animal species, and places where every American can go to find inspiration, peace, and open space. From the welcoming words at the Statue of Liberty to the wilds of Yellowstone, these easily accessed natural wonders preserve our culture by shielding the natural world from our encroachment. The National Parks: Our American Landscape presents an updated photographic survey of these treasures. Seen through the eyes of the National Parks Conservation Association's photographer Ian Shive, the parks come to life through a collection of more than 200 stunning new photographs. Shive's images demonstrate the diversity and awe-inspiring beauty of these pristine spaces, from the Appalachian Trail to Mt. McKinley in Denali National Park, Alaska.
