Overview The North American continent, including the United States, Canada, and northern Mexico, has an astonishing range of ecological diversity that, until now, has never been visually documented in a single book. This rich natural heritage is the inspiration behind The Nature of America, which brings together images from the very best nature photographers, the results of a yearlong project to photograph the greatest parks and wild areas of North America. Assembled with one goal in mind - to capture on film what they cherish most about wild America -

5.0 out of 5 stars America...God shed His grace on thee
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2000
I keep this book on the coffee table and thumb through it often. Every time I do, I see something new and wonderful. Originally I bought the book because I know Bill Fortney and thought it would be neat to own his book and I'd have some nice pictures, too. WELL, did I learn a lesson! I have grown to love this book as a reminder of the awesome love and power of God who created all the beautiful places these gifted photographers have captured--from the simple to the majestic. Anyone can take a picture but this is art! ...

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for all nature enthusiasts.
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 1998
I bought this book by faith believing that Amphoto Art delivers high quality publications in photography and glad that it doesn't disappoint. This book is a must for all enthusiasts in nature photography. Presented in it are images made by the cream of the crop in the profession. Its a visual feast of the natural, the wild, and the beautiful. Its telling us that nature photography is a living art. The grandeur of Yosemite Valley (p50-51), the vibrant colors of arid vegetation in Sonoran Desert (p60-61), the dreamy presence of the Tetons on a foggy morning (p97), the Snake River in fiery red stained by the rising sun (p102), the golden woodland under stormy clouds in Sheyanne National Grasslands (p113), the imposing Alaskan mountains on the cottongrass carpeted plains in Denali National Park (p177) are just a few examples of the diverse faces of the American wilderness, captured by a team of brilliant photographers. The book would be more complete if Glenn Ketchum and Linde Waidhofer's work was also included. I have seen their images and reckon they should be invited to join the show. Its also a pity that many superb images aren't presented in full pages or 1 1/4 page-spreads. For example, Willard Clay's sublime image of the Rockies (p102), David Muench's punchy image of Mt Whitney (p56), and Larry Ulrich's vibrant image of the fall color (p49) were only presented in a smallish 9x12 cm format. Maybe its too expensive to produce a bigger volume, so some images had to be printed in smaller sizes but that has certainly reduced my enjoyment. For the foreign diplomats, they won't be that fussy. By the way, did anyone try to sell this book to the delegates in the recent Kyoto Conference ? It may help to remind them that time is running out for Planet Earth !

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must-have for all who appreciate nature
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 1998
This is a beautiful and well-produced book. Truly a representation of the creme of the crop of american nature photographers. It is both inspiring in it's illustration of some of the country's most beautiful wild areas -- and a strong reminder that we must preserve these areas for the future. I have been fortunate enough to meet the authors and some of the photographers represented in the book, and I am truly impressed by their amazing dedication to their craft and their sincere love and concern for nature. It is evident in these images. I only wish it was larger so the images could be reproduced over one page. Highly recommend.
