\ From Barnes & NobleIn this stunning coffee table book, photographers Jerry and Marcy Monkman lead us on a words-and-pictures tour of New Hampshire's White Mountains. The book's 112 illustrations (including 100 color photographs) display the region's diversity and reveal the impact of human activity on natural ecosystems. White Mountain Wilderness also contains a text describing the area's history.\ \ \ \ \ From the Publisher"Many people argue that the White Mountains of New Hampshire provide New England's most beautiful views. With towering granite mountains, deep ravines, rushing rivers and brooks, and relative wildness, they are a treasure--a treasure presented to you by two of our favorite photographers, Jerry and Marcy Monkman. The book--like the White Mountains themselves - is breathtaking."--Michael Carlton, Yankee Magazine\ "Jerry Monkman's text alone, even aside from any pictures, is a delightful summary of the White Mountains' past . . . When words fail, the camera takes over, and the combination of photographic skill and printing technology brings to the reader glimpses of sunset-tinted ledges, clouds drifting above alpine summits, close-ups of moss and mountain cranberries."--The Cabinet (Milford, NH)\ "This is a book that anyone who is in love with the White Mountains, or simply wilderness anywhere, can enjoy."--Northern New Hampshire Magazine\ "Every picture tells a story and the two simply refuse to paint a bleak picture on the future of New Hampshire's beloved mountains, preferring to see the glass half-full ... Instead, they opt for a draw-your-own-conclusions version, primarily through eye-catching, before-and-after photos taken decades apart in various locations."--Foster's Online\ \ \
