America...God shed His grace on thee

I keep this book on the coffee table and thumb through it often. Every time I do, I see something new and wonderful. Originally I bought the book because I know Bill Fortney and thought it would be neat to own his book and I'd have some nice pictures, too. WELL, did I learn a lesson! I have grown to love this book as a reminder of the awesome love and power of God who created all the beautiful places these gifted photographers have captured--from the simple to the majestic. Anyone can take a picture but this is art! ...

very beautiful. well done.

This is a most facinating book with the writings and photography excellent in every way. I am very impressed with all of it.

La creme de la creme!

This book contains a beautiful collection of photographs which enables us to appreciate all the majestic and natural beauty North America has to offer. How fortunate we are that the photographers were able to capture such images and present them in the one impeccably produced book. As for the writers, they too have captured a beauty which encourages us to ensure the land remains unspoilt and protected for all to enjoy. The joy of treasuring such a book necessitates a strong desire for more and one can only dream that another book like this will come our way again soon. A true work of art and a source of inspiration.

Beautiful for Spacious Skies!

This book really captures in a compact but powerpacked volume the greatness of our beautiful land and how we have been blessed to enjoy this scenery. Highly recommend it as a book for your collection.

A Beautiful Treat for the Eyes

These are some of the best photographs you will find anywhere of the wild places of America. The book was recently selected to be given to foreign diplomats by the White House. The text is classic Middleton - easy to read, very moving, and educational as well. I have met both authors and can tell you that they are two super guys who know photography and how to teach. But their work isn't all that makes this book a BUY. It has 200+ photos from the best of the best that North America has to offer in outdoor and nature photographers. I highly recommend this wonderful work!
