This review is from: Heart of a Nation: Writers and Photographers Inspired by the American Landscape (Hardcover)
What can possibly be better than to curl up with a great book full of breath taking photographs, beautifully written stories about fascinating places and sprinkled liberally with quotes from the likes of John Muir, T.S. Elliot, Henry David Thoreau, Aldo Lepold and Jonathan Swift? But then, it is a National Geographic book and we expect no less from them and are seldom, if ever, dissapointed. This would be a great book even without the magnificent photographs, so just imagine how great it is with them! Buy it - Read it - Love it. If you are a lover of fine books, you won't be dissapointed with this one!

This review is from: Heart of a Nation: Writers and Photographers Inspired by the American Landscape (Hardcover)
Photography has always been an outlet to certain visionaries in our society. Giving them a way to express to others the way they interpret somewhat ordinary and sometimes not so ordinary sights. This collection of images inspires all those who look at them. And then combining these with words of inspiratin and thought provoking prose makes it a treat to the soul as well as the eyes.
