Editorial Reviews

Moving from the cascading waters of Niagara Falls to the massive volcanoes of Hawaii, renowned nature photographer Philippe Bourseiller takes readers on a captivating visual journey through 67 of the most magnificent natural sites in North America. The product of an entire year spent coursing the length and breadth of the United States, America’s Parks captures the amazing diversity and ecological richness of some of our most important natural wildlife areas.

Bourseiller’s free-ranging camera captures more than 200 breathtaking aerial and terrestrial images of wild America, from Mount St. Helens to the ice fields of Alaska, while essays from three prominent environmental journalists place the sites in historical, scientific, and sociological context. The result is a sumptuous panorama of unrivalled beauty that argues eloquently for environmental protection.

A book with truly beautifull pictures. If you haven't been to the national parc's yet, you feel compelled to go.

America's Parks Review, 2007-01-19
by Yvonne Curley (san francisco, ca)
This was a gift for my husband and he loves it. The images are pretty amazing. The book itself is a little oversized and not very easy to hold. Also it would be better if each image had a little blurb to explain where exactly and when the image was shot. Otherwise I'd recommend this book for any keen outdoor types who love photography.
