Synopsis

Whether it is the awesome scale of the Grand Canyon or the frigid waters of Isle Royale, the subtropic splendor of the Everglades or the bursts of color on the alpine meadows of Glacier National Park, these wonders are some of America's most precious national resources. In NATIONAL PARKS OF AMERICA, the parks are presented in a way that showcases their beauty as never before, including such parks as Hawaii Volcanoes and the Great Smokies along with Big Bend, the Redwoods, Yellowstone, and Bryce Canyon, David Muench's name has been synonomous with great landscape photography for many years.

About this title

Review:

If David Muench's photographs of U.S. parks and monuments fail to take your breath away, you may want to check your pulse. If they fail to inspire you to visit Canyonlands, Acadia, Big Bend, or the Great Smoky Mountains, you have something to answer for. Muench has inspired a whole generation of landscape photographers with his images, which border on the mystical; he in turn takes his inspiration from the "primal beauty" of these treasures, which are places of worship to him. Muench makes it evident in an afterword that he is not a verbal communicator; perhaps that is to our advantage, for it forces him to express himself with the camera.

About the Author:

Muench has been photographing America for more than 30 years.
