Seller's Description:
Used-Good. 'In most places, human beings dominate the picture. But in a few spots...nature rules unchallenged. ' So writes Bill McKibben in his uplifting introduction to 'Adirondacks, ' a book that reveals nature's glory, and the unique give and take between people and wilderness in the vast Adirondack Park. Bigger than the Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Yosemite National Parks combined, the Adirondack Park contains a stunning array of mountains, wildlands, forests, rivers and lakes, waterfalls, and deep gorges. Photographer and Adirondack resident Carl Heilman has traveled from the foothills to the highest peaks in all seasons to photograph the park's natural wonders, its flora and fauna, and the myriad variations of light and weather that make each trip to the region a new experience. Favorite sites such as Lake George are here, along with secret bogland lakes, and the spectacular mountaintop views that are only experienced by the most intrepid hikers. 'Adirondacks 'demonstrates the beauty of nature's gifts--and serves as a testament to the power of the people who protect them. Bigger than the Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Yosemite combined, the Adirondack Park contains a stunning array of mountains, wildlands, forests, rivers and lakes, waterfalls, and deep gorges. Photographer Carl Heilman captures the untouched essence of the Adirondacks in this book from its highest peaks to its foothills. The book is divided into five sections by geographic region: main entrances, featuring sites such as Lake George, Old Forge, and the Sacandaga Reservoir; foothills; wild lakes and rivers; boreal wilderness; and highest peaks, such as Mt. Marcy. These grand vistas, shot in all four seasons, are not just records of the region, but also capture the emotions inherent in these majestic places, their unusual lighting, and dramatic weather conditions. From the brilliance of fall foliage to the tranquility of a snow-white landscape, Adirondacks demonstrates the power of nature and the beauty of its gifts. Open copy. Interior pages in very nice condition. Sold as is. Book has minor shelf wear.
