Take a break and breathe in nature. This stunning book is a must-have After watching a World News Tonight piece a few weeks ago about a women in her late 80's touring for the first time the National Parks with her nephew - and how breathtaking and life-changing it was, I developed a new appreciation for the beauty, history and tranquility of these national treasures.Jon Waterman's book takes the reader on an adventure. This isn't an atlas, but rather a journey where the reader can breathe in the air, learn and immerse themselves in the stunning photos and tales.A must read and the perfect gift for yourself or others.Atlas of the National Parks Do I really have to write that this a most stunning book? It is from National Geographic so you know the photos are going to be out of this world – and they are. The large, coffee table book opens with a discussion of the National Park system and from there breaks down the Parks by area; Eastern Coast and Forest Parks, Central Plains, Lakes and Mountains Parks, Desert Southwest Parks, Pacific Northwest Parks, Alaska and Hawaii Parks and More National Parks at a Glance.Each Park featured is introduced with words, maps and photos. If you have visited a specific Park you can look it up and relive your trip. If you are planning a trip you can learn some valuable information about the place you want to visit. If you want to dream, this book lets your soul take wing.Take Yellowstone – my favorite Park. The Park is in three states; Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Mostly Wyoming but that doesn’t keep Montana from claiming it. It is a place of unparalled beauty and if you can get there I encourage you to do so. If you can’t this glorious book will at least give you a gourmet taste so you can dream until you visit.It’s the kind of book you keep around to pull out when you need your spirits lifted because the beauty found inside can’t help but give you hope for a better world. The book also educates you as to the various eco systems found in the US and the beauty that can be found within them. I had no idea how beautiful the desert could be until we traveled through southern Utah. Oh.My.Word. The area that encompasses Capitol Reef, Canyonlands and Arches National Parks is astoundingly beautiful. Stunning red rock vistas. Not far from them are Zion and Bryce Canyon – also glorious visions of what nature can offer but in a different way.Southern Utah is a place I feel fortunate to have spent so much time visiting. Reading through this book took me back to those days. If you know someone who has been gifting this to them will bring back their visit and remind them of that joy. Otherwise it could be a vicarious visit for you.I cannot say enough about how gorgeous this book is. I have picked it up so many times to just revisit a Park. Like Acadia in Maine. It’s been decades since we visited there and yet looking at the chapter reminded me of the glory of that trip in the early days of our marriage.This is a magnificent book on so many levels. From the photos to the vast amount of information presented about the National Park system. It would definitely be a fantastic addition to any home library.I received a free copy for my honest review
