Featuring more than 300 magnificent National Geographic images of
all 50 states--and inspiring words from luminaries across the
country--this collection is a gift-worthy celebration of America's
unique natural and cultural treasures. America the Beautiful
showcases the stunning spaces closest to our nation's heart--from
the woods in the Great Appalachian Valley that Davy Crockett once
called home to the breathtaking sweep of California's Big Sur coast
to the wilds of Alaska. It also celebrates the people who have made
this country what it is, featuring a wide range of images including
the Arikara Nation in the early 1900s and scientists preparing for
travel to Mars on a Hawaiian island. Culled from National
Geographic's vaunted photo archives, spanning a period of more than
130 years, this provocative collection depicts the splendor of this
great nation as only National Geographic can, with a dramatic
combination of modern and historical imagery--from the creation of
architectural icons like the Golden Gate Bridge and Lady Liberty to
the last of the country's wild places preserved in our national
parks. With a structure inspired by the original song "America the
Beautiful," this book recognizes what makes our nation great,
region by region. And all 50 states and six territories of the U.S.
are honored with 50 words from celebrities, historians, activists,
conservationists, and politicians who call America home. Profound
and inspiring, this is a book for everyone who has ever marveled at
the beauty of the United States.
