AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

America the Beautiful showcases the stunning spaces closest to our nation’s heart—from the woods that Davy Crocket once called home in the Great Valley of Appalachia to the breathtaking sweep of California’s Big Sur coast to the wilds of Alaska. This image collection celebrates our nation’s natural and cultural history, as well as the people who have made this country what it is. Featuring a wide range of images including the Arikara Nation in the early 1900s and scientists preparing for travel to Mars or a Hawaiian island, this stunning book also includes the voices of celebrities, icons, and activists from every state. Each stunning image reveals what makes each state special, with commentary from such voices as Maya Rudolph (California), Jimmy Buffet (Florida), James Earl Jones (Michigan), Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (North Carolina), Ronda Rousey (North Dakota), and the late Loretta Lynn (Kentucky).
