"Gorgeous... [These] vistas reveal Adams' ability to capture the
wildness in nature and the book tells of his environmental
activism."--Detroit Free Press
"Iconic and still breathtaking... Adams remains extravagantly
popular."--The New York Times, January 2019
Adams' photographs "call attention to the passage of time and
changing nature of the landscape, especially in the face of global
warming... Adams' photographs spread his belief in the
transformative power of national parks to a wide audience. The
pioneer defined the genre and kickstarted environmental activism
through art."--Fortune
