We are living in a land rich with beauty and wonders. "Life" is fortunate that these stunning settings have attracted many of the country's - indeed, the world's - most talented scenic photographers. From the awe- inspiring work of Ansel Adams to the jaw-dropping photography of Galen Rowell to the serene pastorals of Joel Meyerowitz and Michael Melford, this is art of a high order. And their subjects are incomparable: the Grand Canyon, Big Sur, Yosemite, Yellowstone, sublime Nantucket island, the San Francisco skyline, the Amish country of Pennsylvania and Ohio - 100 beautiful sites in all. In words and pictures, "Life" takes you there.As a special bonus, "America the Beautiful" includes a print of one of Ansel Adams' finest scenic photos, suitable for framing. This is a rich and beautiful book about a beautiful land.

This review is from: Life: America the Beautiful: A Photographic Journey, Coast to Coast-and Beyond (Life (Life Books)) (Hardcover)
This book has recently reprinted in a newsstand special-edition softcover under the title, "America the Beautiful: 100 Places to See in Your Lifetime." Most of the places shown (65 out of 100) are Nature's own; the rest are man-made wonders that range from Washingtin, D.C., New Orleans' French Quarter, and San Francisco to West Point, Newport (RI), Fallingwater, and Bellingrath Gardens. Each spot gets a full or half page or a double-spread with a full-color photograph and a brief write-up explaining its significance. Even if you only buy the book for the photos, though, you'll have plenty of droolable moments (the front cover alone is almost worth the price). This volume will give anyone a better idea of what's gorgeous, and most worth seeing, about our country.

We had originally purchased two of these books to give as gifts in Vietnam. They were so appreciated that I have brought two more to give as gifts to our hosts in Australia...the world have so many beautiful places...sometimes pictures are how we can best enjoy and share what it has to offer. We have traveled throughout the US and, actually, there is no better picture than the Tetons on the front (where my husband and I met almost 50 years ago).
