Join NPCA at the Miami International Book Fair for a discussion and booksigning of The National Parks: Our American Landscape (Earth Aware Editions, $39.95), by award-winning photographer Ian Shive. Also presenting being discussed is a well-received biography of Marjorie Stoneman Douglass and a non-fiction account of a forgotten coastal development along the Louisiana coast as part of the Miami Book Fair International,  www.miamibookfair.com.

The National Parks: Our American Landscape presents a wonderfully updated photographic survey of one of America’s greatest national treasures. Shive's stunning work demonstrates the diversity and awe inspiring beauty of the American wild lands covering the major United States parks from the warm waters of Biscayne, Florida to icy summit of Mt. McKinley in Denali National Park, Alaska.

The book features contributions from NPCA President Tom Kiernan and the staff of National Parks magazine, and a percentage of the proceeds will go toward NPCA’s crucial work, which we couldn’t accomplish without you. (Read on for a special discount offer, too.) The iconic landscapes are all here: Arches and the Grand Canyon, Glacier and Zion, Yellowstone and Yosemite. So, too, are the sights that many of us overlook: the pure white gypsum of White Sand Dunes, a jellyfish floating in the Channel Islands, a tarantula and a scorpion underfoot in Big Bend. It’s a great gift for any park lover you know, and it’s not a bad way to pick your next vacation spot, either.
