Ansel Adams in the National Parks

Ansel Adams in the National Parks collects Adams's photographs of American protected landscapes alongside essays examining his relationship with these places. The photographs span his career and document Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Glacier, and other parks where he worked extensively, including both iconic images and lesser-known work from his archive.

Adams was a central figure in American conservation as well as photography, and the two commitments were inseparable in his work. Essays address his photographic techniques, his involvement with the Sierra Club and other conservation organizations, and how his images shaped public perception of the national park system. Published by Little, Brown and Company. For readers interested in American photography, environmental history, or the relationship between image-making and wilderness preservation.
