America's national parks

The Fifty-Six National Parks of America have been dedicated to preserve and protect beautiful and irreplaceable treasures for future generations to enjoy and appreciate. These parks lie within areas of indescribable beauty, breathtaking vistas, and wondrous natural phenomena. They have also been formed by unique geologic forces: geothermal and volcanic pressures, mountain building, glacial actions, wind and water erosion, and extreme climates, America's National Parks is a lavish celebration of each one of the diverse national parks throughout the United States. Grouping the parks according to the particular physical and geological forces that created them, it features spectacular full-color photography and topographical maps that highlight important landmarks and travel routes throughout each park. The book also includes informative diagrammatic illustrations that describe and highlight the forces that created each park-and which are still at work altering each unique landscape. Never before has a book so skillfully blended the majestic beauty of every national park in the country with captivating information that will make visitors more knowledgeable about the parks. Far more beautiful than any guidebook-and exceedingly more informative than other large-format books-America's National Parks is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to celebrate America's wilderness treasures.
