Have we got an exciting group of books to giveaway thanks to the generosity of Hachette Book Group! Over the week, they are going to giveaway copies of six different titles coming out in October. Per Anna at Hachette, “I’m really limiting the giveaway of these titles. It will probably be given away in very few sites (as in—less than 10) if ever, but that’s about it. So you’ve got practically first dibs on these.” Isn’t that fun?!?!?
Today we’re giving away a book for any lover of photography or American National Parks:
ANSEL ADAMS IN THE NATIONAL PARKS: Photographs from America’s Wild Places by Andrea G. Stillman, Richard B. Woodward, Ansel Adams
With more than two hundred photographs – many rarely seen and some never before published – this is the most comprehensive collection of Ansel Adams’ photographs of America’s national parks and wilderness areas. For many people, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, and other iconic American wildlands exist in the mind’s eye as Ansel Adams photographs.
The legendary photographer explored more than forty national parks in his lifetime, producing some of the most indelible images of the natural world ever made. One of the twentieth century’s most ardent champions of the park and wilderness systems, Adams also helped preserve additional natural areas and protect existing ones through his photographs, essays, and letter-writing campaigns.
Edited and with commentary by Andrea G. Stillman, the foremost expert on Adams’ work, this landmark publication includes quotations by Adams on the making of numerous photographs and essays by Wallace Stegner, William A. Turnage of The Ansel Adams Trust, and journalist and critic Richard B. Woodward. This is a must-own for Ansel Adams fans and all those who, like Adams, treasure America’s wilderness.
There will be three lucky winners of ANSEL ADAMS IN THE NATIONAL PARKS! To enter for a chance to, fill out the form below. One entry per Book Blogger (No Canadian PO Box numbers please). This giveaway will end at 5PM EST on Saturday 9/18. Good luck!
This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for your interest.
