National Geographic presents this book of photographs. They are taken by Peter Essick in the style of photographer Ansel Adams--high-contrast black-and-white photographic closeups of plant details or longshots of spectacular features and wide skies. The pictures are of a wilderness area in the Sierra Nevada region of California which is named after Adams. The photographs are organized by the type of landscape: mountains and lakes, valleys and meadows, waterways, trees and plants. The text is mostly excerpts of quotes from famous writers and figures in American history, with a forward by the president of the Wilderness Society. The book will appeal to general readers who like black and white landscape photography and coffee-table books with wilderness themes.
