Love the high quality photographs and the focus on both national parks and lesser know state or local parks. the writing seemed more boosterish or pollyannaish, especially when it came to the fates of Native Americans that once lives in the parks, but this was such a pretty book to preview.
Thank you for the sample NetGalley. If you want to plan your next road trip or adventure this book is going to be a must have. Absolutely stunning photography and interesting text to go flawlessly along side. Perfect for a coffee table book but must be on display! Perfect gift for those who love our beautiful country.
I don't know how to review this. At least with other samples I've received it's been half the book and not five sets of random pages. This looks like it will be a great coffee table book. The pictures are large and in color and the descriptions have interesting information.
As I don't feel that I've read the full book I will not be posting a review on Goodreads, Instagram, my blog, or retail websites.
Sigh.. I don’t review samples. I didn’t even read the blurb just clicked read now. So sadly without the whole book I don’t see a way to review what you get only a sample of. Shame on me. I’ll be reading the blurbs from now on. Or Netgalley can help us out and put a disclaimer on it. This is for Netgalley only purpose and won’t show up anywhere else.
I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley
I wish it was longer but I enjoyed everything moment.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this sample for review.
Stephanie Pearson's 100 Great American Parks is a gorgeously photographed book that anyone would love. Though this sample only included 5 of the parks (photos and information), I could tell that it would be something worth exploring in its final copy. I'm looking forward to it.
It's difficult to give a full review as this is only a 10 page sample of a much larger book. As an avid hiker, I love exploring national parks and the photos in this book are absolutely gorgeous. This would make a great coffee table book for company to peruse!
I don't know how many stars to give this because I got to see 5 parks over 10 pages which included the cover, contents page & back. 3 parks are pretty well known so I didn't learn anything new. I don't know how to review a book that I can't get into.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
100 Great American Parks by Stephanie Pearson is a coffee-table photobook by National Geographic that includes stunning photos and essays about American parks. Some of the essays included in the excerpt I was sent include "Yosemite National Park," "Cape Cod National Seashore" and "Central Park." According to the synopsis, this book " takes readers to all 63 national parks, as well as 37 state, recreational, and city parks and green spaces." It also includes travel tips and the words of experts for park enthusiasts.
Overall, 100 Great American Parks is a photo-book that will appeal to travel enthusiasts and photographers alike. One highlight of this book are the stunning photos of national parks, which include one-page spreads. They are beautiful and worth the price of the book alone. I can see this book being the perfect gift for the nature-lover or travel enthusiast in your life, especially if they've always wanted to see the sights of America. If you're intrigued by the description, or if you're a fan of books about travel, I highly recommend that you check out this book when it comes out in May!
