Editorial Reviews

We are living in a land that is everywhere 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 scenics, suitable for framing. This is a rich and beautiful book about a beautiful land. Our land. America.

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL - AMEN, 2007-12-12
by Donna J. Pangle (Bourbonnais, IL USA)

This book was purchased for a friend who is in the early to mid stages of Alzheimers. He and his wife sit and look at the pictures and remember when they say the places photographed. It is an exercise for his brain and a delight for her to be able to share it with him.
