Detailed Product Description
SF, Sierra Club, 1968, 1st paperback edition. 111 pp, contains about 85 beautiful black & white photographs by such photographers as Ansel Adams (44 photos), Ray Atkeson, Boorne and Mays, Francis Frith, Phillip Hyde, Pirkle Jones, Clarence Kennedy, Eliot Porter, Brett Weston, Margaret Bourke-White, Henri Cartier-Bresson, William Garnett, Edward Weston and Minor White and many more.
''Ansel Adams suggested an exhibit of photographs and text that would combine to explain what national parks were really all about.'' Original 8 1/2" x 11" paperback with photographic covers; book is Fine. (Our photo is of the hardcover book, but the paperback cover is essentially the same.)
''This Is this the American Earth'' exhibit, featuring primarily Ansel Adams works curated by Nancy Newhall, first held at the LeConte Memorial Lodge in Yosemite before touring throughout the United States including the Smithsonian, New York's Museum of Modern Art, and the California Academy of Science. The photographic essays combined with the outstanding text and vision of Newhall to include historic photographs by many other artists, explains what national parks are about and make a grand statement on conservation of America's scenic resources. An influential work juxtaposing images of the natural beauty of landscape with those of tract housing, highway congestion, and pollution.
This is a tall paperback, 8 1/2 x 11, reissue of the 1960 work; notable for the rear cover essay by William O. Douglas.
