This landmark book presents fifty majestic images by America's
greatest landscape photographer - the first time that an
important body of Ansel Adams' color work has ever been
published.
Ansel Adams began to photograph in color soon after Kodachrome
was invented in the mid-1930s, and shot more than 3,000 color
images during the course of his lifetime. Very few of these
photographs, however, were published or exhibited. As Adams
remarked late in his life after observing the advances in
color printing techniques, "People are skeptical about my
thoughts on color. I do not blame them, as I have protested
it and have not shown my color pictures. I feel the urge now
and I wish I were sixty years younger!"
Employing state-of-the-art color imaging and printing
technology, Ansel Adams in Color faithfully reproduces dozens
of unforgettable color photographs of the American wilderness
and enables us to appreciate anew the grandeur and artistry of
Adams' vision. These magnificent images, accompanied by an
introductory essay by James Enyeart and a selection of Ansel
Adams' thoughtful, often contradictory writings on color
photography, add a fascinating new dimension to Adams'
enduring legacy.

Ansel Adams: Our National Parks (0-8212-1910-3) paper,
$16.95
In the century and more since the establishment of the world's
first national parks at Yosemite and Yellowstone, no one
individual has been a more ardent champion of the "national
park idea" than master photographer Ansel Adams. Over a span
of six decades, beginning in 1916, Adams photographed America's
great national parks, making thousands of pictures -- some of
them among the most memorable images of the natural scene ever
created. In this book a selection of Adams' legendary photographs
of over forty national parks and monuments is presented, along
with a sample of his impassioned letters, speeches and writings --
all long out of print or never before published -- about the critical
issues facing the park system. These insightful, and sometimes
controversial writings by one of the great environmental thinkers
of the twentieth century are as relevant today as when they were
written.

Ansel Adams: Letters and Images
Edited by Mary Street Alinder and Andrea Gray Stillman
"Adams was a splendid, rumbustious writer, overflowing with
jokes, puns, expletives, and exuberance....Never were letters
less deliberately composed; he wrote when exhausted and
distracted, on the split of the second, in bits and fragments.
His letters to close friends are warm and wonderful; reading
them one frequently feels...what a marvelous thing it would
have been to have him for a friend." - New York Review of
Books
Heavily illustrated, these letters, spanning a lifetime,
reveal the growth of Adams the artist and the man, while
contributing a unique overview of twentieth-century
photography.

Ansel Adams, Yosemite and the Range of Light. 11 1/4 x 9, Paper, $39.95, ISBN 0-8212-1523-X
For sixty years, Ansel Adams photographed among the great peaks of Yosemite National Park and the High Sierra range -- the "range of light." Inspired by their grandeur, their wildness, and their primeval mystery, he made photographs which were to become the icons, the symbols, of America's national park ethic. His reverence for these places -- the same reverence that fueled his commitment to environmental activism -- illumninates each image. The evanescent, ever-changing beauty of Yosemite Falls, the brooding majesty of Half Dome -- we can no longer experience these "holy places" without seeing them through Ansel Adams's eyes.
During his lifetime, Adams published seven books of images from this region; this new book brings together in a single volume the finest photographs from this vast body of work. His writings -- alive with anecdote and insight -- provide a backdrop for these stirring images.
Yosemite and the High Sierra replaces the $150 hardcover de-luxe edition of Yosemite and the Range of Light, now out of print. More than half the 75 images in Yosemite and the High Sierra are drawn from the earlier book.
