Introduction by Prominent Environmentalist Andy Lipkis, Founder of Tree People, as well as an essay by Wayne Williams, a Southern California native who grew up during one of the country’s most rapid proliferation of cities, suburbs and resulting urban blight.\u003cbr\u003eAmerica’s Vanishing Landscapes was inspired by Williams’s distress at the diminishing natural world as well as his belief that nature is one of humanity’s most emotionally sustaining elements. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA subtle protest of environmental complacency and detachment, it is the first in a continuing series of books and documentaries he has undertaken to continue increasing attention of the starkly fading natural landscape in the U.S. Far from defeatist, his is a refreshingly optimistic vision of what could be our planet’s destiny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNOTE: Please only buy this book for Nook Color or other Color viewing platforms (PC's, Android devices etc.) Because of the limited capabilities of B\u0026amp;N Nook implementation of ePub format, links to website pages and the ability to expand the images are not available via this product.
