National Parks of the U.S.A

illustrated by Chris Turnham 2018

This was a Christmas gift for Henry (who sometimes considers a career path in forestry) and we all have been enjoying it.  Now I'm dreaming about how we can visit all these wonderful places!  There were so many parks that I had never heard of or known about.  On these pages they sound ripe for adventure and discovery!

Oversized and richly illustrated Siber and Turnham's book is a smorgasbord of maps and facts and animals and plants.  I recommend pairing this with John Muir's book, Our National Parks.   Muir was the "Father of the National Parks" and wrote philosophically and influentially about nature and environmentalism.
