While what I received was only a sampling of the written material and pictures of many US National Parks, it gave a decent illustration of what will be available in the full book. It's a nice overview and definitely intriguing for someone like me who loves the outdoors. It appeared well put together and the exposition was lovely and informative. The book wasn't simply scenic landscape photographs with some writing that documented a park’s existence. Rather, there was much history to be gleaned from each park that was highlighted. For example, the displacement of the native Tuka Deka Indians who occupied the area within what has become Frank Church River of No Return in Idaho and the Selma to Montgomery Historic Trail which was protected to immortalize Martin Luther King's iconic walk for civil rights. I love the outdoors and I’m thankful that I live in one of the most beautiful areas in the Pacific Northwest where I'm minutes away from both the Cascade Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean. While the PNW wasn't included in this sample, National Geographic and Stephanie Pearson did a great job of reminding me of the costs made throughout history and why we get to enjoy all of our National Parks. Based on everything I saw in this sampling, I intend to acquire my own copy of 100 Great American Parks. (This is my voluntary and unbiased review of an advanced sample of 100 Great American Parks from the publisher via Netgalley.)
