The National Parks: An Illustrated History (National Geographic)

Author: Kim Heacox
Stars: 5
Review by: Mandy Apgar


Well presented, well written, and put together wonderfully, this celebrates the centennial of the park system. Pioneers to the conservation effort are profiled, as are related personages and what it took to get everything established. The events are presented as time unfolds relative to the original formation, and so the history and struggles to protect various areas are explained. A large book, not totally comprehensive, but a good read nonetheless.
