Olson From the inside cover: In a way never before attempted, the vastness of the American continent has been rediscovered and is presented in this book by one of the world's great photographers. With an uncompromising eye, he records on film the majesty and grandeur of nature. He also captures its subtle nuances and varied moods and draws our attention to the forces that are continually reshaping our planet. Although the image that evolves is abstract, almost macrocosmic, there is an extraordinary retention of minute details. Kylor12 Store
