It also celebrates the people who have made this country what it is, featuring a wide range of images including the Arikara Nation in the early 1900s and scientists preparing for travel to Mars on a Hawaiian island. Culled from more than 130 years of National Geographic&#8217;s vaunted archives, this provocative collection depicts the splendor of this great nation as only National Geographic can, with a dramatic combination of modern and historical imagery&#8211;from the creation of architectural icons like the Golden Gate Bridge and Lady Liberty to the last of the country&#8217;s wild places currently preserved in our national parks. <\/p>\n<p>Organized by chapters focused on region (west coast and the Pacific, east coast, the south, and the Midwest) that are themselves inspired by verses of the original poem America the Beautiful, this book also features a moving introduction offering perspective on the country&#8217;s unique journey. You&#8217;ll also find behind-the-scenes commentary from the world-renowned photographers who captured this unforgettable imagery, and observations from the conservationists, activists, and historians who help keep America beautiful today. Profound and inspiring, this is a book for everyone who has ever marveled at the beauty of the United States.    <br \/> <br \/>\n         From the Publisher            <\/p>\n<p>                                             <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"module1\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/x-locale\/common\/grey-pixel.gif\" class=\"a-lazy-loaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/vc\/d88e48ba-03c0-449f-b3a4-c53b0d458c90.__CR0,0,970,300_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"module1\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/vc\/d88e48ba-03c0-449f-b3a4-c53b0d458c90.__CR0,0,970,300_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\">   <\/p>\n<p>                                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Module 2\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/x-locale\/common\/grey-pixel.gif\" class=\"a-spacing-base a-lazy-loaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/vc\/54071d8b-2db3-4feb-9b08-1f0de0a92507.__CR0,0,970,600_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Module 2\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/vc\/54071d8b-2db3-4feb-9b08-1f0de0a92507.__CR0,0,970,600_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\">                                                                      <\/p>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-base\"> UTAH Vistas of hoodoos are seen along the Queens Garden Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park.

I don\u2019t mean just the weather but there\u2019s warmth in the music of the blues, in the soul service gospel I heard at my church as a child, and in the people. When you see someone in Pass Christian, the quintessential small town where I grew up, you stop and wave. New to town? A neighbor will bring a Bundt cake. That\u2019s just what you do. <\/p>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-base\"> We were a military family and I grew up moving all the time.
