**Honoring Grand Canyon National Park on its centennial, The Grand
Canyon and the Southwest elegantly portrays the drama and the beauty of
the Canyon and the American Southwest.
**It is all very beautiful and magical here--a quality which cannot be
described. You have to live it and breathe it, let the sun bake it into
you. The skies and the land are so enormous, and the detail so precise
and exquisite... - Ansel Adams
Next to Yosemite and the High Sierra, the Southwest was closest to Ansel
Adams' heart. It was there, in the early 1930s, that he was inspired to
make photography his life's work. He would return to the region again
and again. In his words, wherever one goes in the Southwest one
encounters magic, strength, and beauty.
Today, the Grand Canyon is one of America's most popular national parks,
hosting more than six million visitors each year. This special edition
paperback reproduces Ansel Adams' exquisite photographs of the Canyon
alongside iconic images of the Southwest, spanning Arizona, California,
Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. Edited by Andrea G. Stillman with
an introduction by William A. Turnage, this collection of seventy
dutotone photographs is complemented by Adams' vivid writings about his
travels in the region.
The Grand Canyon and the Southwest is an ideal souvenir or gift for
visitors to the Southwest, or for anyone inspired by its beauty.
