Ansel Adams in the National Parks

For many people images of the major national parks in th US exist in the mind`s eye as Ansel Adams photographs. A dedicated environmentalist as well as renowned artist, he was one of the 20th century`s most ardent champions of the parks system. Through his photos, essays and letter-writing campaigns, he helped create new parks and better protect existing ones. He worked in more than 40 national parks over 50 years – including Shenandoah, the Great Smoky Mountains and Acadia in the East – and his work in the California High Sierra resulted in some of the most indelible images of the natural world ever made with a camera. 50 of the images in this volume have not been published in any authorized Ansel Adams book previously; many more are rarely seen. A substantial essay by photographic critic and historian Richard B. Woodward lays out Adams` significant role tracing the history of American conservation. The selection of photographs was made by Andrea G. Stillman, Adams` assistant late in life and a foremost expert on his work. A group of thumbnail images with brief narratives, enlivened by quotations from Adams, appears at the back of the book.
