Washington - Spirit of the Land wonderfully conveys the beauty - and the spirit - of the land and pays tribute to this spectacular state. Writer Lynda Mapes weaves fascinating facts from the fields of natural and human history in essays that accompany Terry Donnelly and Mary Liz Austin's gorgeous photographs of the state's natural wonders.
This book covers every corner of the Evergreen state. All of Washington's many well-known natural sites are included-places like North Cascades National Park, Puget Sound, Mt. Rainier, the San Juan Islands, and the Olympic Peninsula.
But Washington-Spirit of the Land also portrays the lesser-known regions of the state, such as the rolling hills of the Palouse country and the Oregon white oak in the Klickitat Wildlife Area. From the brilliant gold of a virtual sea of western larches in the Colville National Forest to the panoramic expanse of the Cascades to smooth stones of the Pacific coast, this book skillfully covers the breadth of the state. |
