America's national parks and historical sites embody the American spirit. They are windows to our past, homes to some of our rarest plants and animal species, and places where every American can go to find inspiration, peace, and open space. From the iron rails of Steamtown, Pennsylvania to the wilds of Yellowstone, America’s natural parks preserve our culture in as much as they shield our natural world from our own encroachment.The National Our American Landscape presents a wonderfully updated photographic survey of one of America’s greatest national treasures. Seen through the eyes of the National Parks Conservation Association’s photographer Ian Shive, America’s National Park System come to life through a collection of more than 200 new photographs. Shive's stunning work demonstrates the diversity and awe inspiring beauty of the American wild lands covering the major United States parks from the warm waters of Biscayne, Florida to icy summit of Mt. McKinley in Denali National Park, Alaska.

Mit den Geysiren des Yellowstone, kalifornischen Riesenmammutbäumen, Vulkanen auf Hawaii und den Grizzlybären Alaskas gehören die Nationalparks der USA zu den größten Wundern der Erde. Dieser Bildband zeigt die unglaublich vielfältigen amerikanischen Naturlandschaften in mehr als 300 Fotografien. Es ist die bemerkenswerte Leistung des National Park Service, der vor 100 Jahren gegründet wurde, dass heute in 58 Nationalparks einzigartige Felsformationen, Urwälder oder Wüsten geschützt und zugleich für zahlreiche Besucher zugänglich sind.

Gorgeous photography celebrates the snowy vistas of Denali in Alaska, the lava flows in Hawaii’s Volcano National Park, and the drama of Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, and dozens more, from sea to shining sea.

With more than 200 glorious images, The National Parks is comprehensive, stunningly beautiful, and always inspiring, a revelation as to the way humankind interacts with the parks, and how the story of the national parks is also a tribute to the people who visit, explore, and tirelessly work to preserve these cherished American landscapes.
