Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. One corner lightly bumped; the dustjacket has about three small nicks. Else in Very Good+ condition in Very Good+ dustjacket. Photographs from a generation who came to the canyon country of the Four Corners as park rangers, teachers, river guides, naturalists, and backpackers ? for personal fulfillment rather than as artists or commercial photographers. Everything they know about themselves and the land is distilled in these photographs. They transcend the literal. The common thread is light?the magical, iridescent light that happens when clear air, naked rock, and sun collide. The book pairs thematic portfolios (Rock, Water, Canyons, Mesas, Plateaus, Mountains, and Time) with words from a century of the region's most eloquent writers. Photographers include Mary Allen, Tom Bean, Michael Collier, Jeff Gnass, Philip Hyde, William Neill, Galen Rowell, John Running, Jeremy Schmidt, Tom Till, Stephen Trimble, Larry Ulrich, and Mark Zarn. About 100 Color Photos (illustrator). …
