Reviews
Grade 4-8-- Eye-catching oversized entries in a series that resembles the "Eyewitness" books (Knopf). Each volume has short chapters, several illustrations on each double-page spread, detailed captions for every picture, and a brief bibliography. Dinosaurs has a colored timeline, nice depictions of skeletons, informative paintings of habitats, and models of the globe 200 and 100 million years ago, and today. Theories and questions are well explained. There is little information about individual dinosaurs but groupings such as ornithopods, sickel claws, etc., each receive a double-page treatment. Although not as thorough as the other volumes, Our National Parks has a good map and interesting descriptions. The photos are mostly of the scenic variety. Civil War is written with drama and excitement with plenty of quotes and dialogue. There are excellent engravings and photos of weapons and various sources of transportation. Features include good photos of many of the key leaders, a section on "women at war," and a two-page full-color map of battle sites. All three books should be popular and useful. --Susannah Price, Boise Public Library, ID

Hardback. Condition: Good. In 1941 Ansel Adams was hired by the United States Department of the Interior to photograph America's national parks for a series of murals that would celebrate the country's natural heritage. Because of the escalation of World War I, the project was suspended after less than a year, but not before Adams had produced this group of breathtaking images, which illustrate both his early innovations and the shape of his later, legendary career as America's foremost landscape photographer.The invitation to photograph the nation's parklands was the perfect assignment for Adams, as it allowed him to express his deepest convictions as artist, conservationist, and citizen. These stunning photographs of the natural geysers and terraces in Yellowstone, the rocks and ravines in the Grand Canyon, the winding rivers and majestic mountains in Glacier and Grand Teton national parks, the mysterious Carlsbad Caverns, the architecture of ancient Indian villages, and many other evocative views of the American West demonstrate the genius of Adams' technical and aesthetic inventiveness. In these glorious, seminal images we see the inspired reverence for the wilderness that has made Ansel Adams' work an enduring influence on the intertwining spirits of art and environmentalism, both so necessary for the preservation of our natural world.
