In the century and more since the establishment of the world's first national parks at Yosemite and Yellowstone, no one individual has been a more ardent champion of the "national park idea" than master photographer Ansel Adams.
This book is a selection of Adams' legendary photographs of over forty national parks and monuments is presented, along with a sampling of his impassioned letters, speeches, and writing--all long out of print and some never before published--about the critical issues facing the park system.
