National Parks - The American Experience

"Revised with a new epilogue and iconic national park art, this fifth edition of National Parks: The American Experience tells the highly engaging story of how Americans invented and expanded the concept of national parks. Further supported with period photographs, it remains a stirring look into the lands that define America, from Yosemite and Yellowstone to wilderness Alaska. This is how we got our parks, and yes, how we occasionally failed them, and in doing so failed ourselves."--Back cover.
