Spectacular America

A stirring portrait of our nation's scenic diversity, this magnificent volume unfurls the sweeping grandeur of the American landscape. More than 200 color photographs capture the country's regional variety - from the virgin timberlands of Alaska to the mangrove swamps of the Florida Everglades, from the bucolic hills of New England to the spectacular mountain bluffs of Big Sur, where the land meets the sun-drenched California surf. Featuring six foldouts opening to nearly four feet, the book's large horizontal format - 16 x 12 inches - delivers the immense scope of our native splendor. Extraordinary photographs by some of the most talented photographers working in America today include many produced in the new panorama format, as well as 360-degree views shot on an antique Cirkut camera.
