About the book:

Honoring Grand Canyon National Park on its centennial, The Grand Canyon and the Southwest elegantly portrays the drama and the beauty of the Canyon and the American Southwest.
"It is all very beautiful and magical here--a quality which cannot be described. You have to live it and breathe it, let the sun bake it into you. The skies and the land are so enormous, and the detail so precise and exquisite..." - Ansel Adams

Next to Yosemite and the High Sierra, the Southwest was closest to Ansel Adams' heart. It was there, in the early 1930s, that he was inspired to make photography his life's work. He would return to the region again and again. In his words, "wherever one goes in the Southwest one encounters magic, strength, and beauty." Today, the Grand Canyon is one of America's most popular national parks, hosting more than six million visitors each year. This special edition paperback reproduces Ansel Adams' exquisite photographs of the Canyon alongside iconic images of the Southwest, spanning Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. Edited by Andrea G. Stillman with an introduction by William A. Turnage, this collection of seventy dutotone photographs is complemented by Adams' vivid writings about his travels in the region. The Grand Canyon and the Southwest is an ideal souvenir or gift for visitors to the Southwest, or for anyone inspired by its beauty.”

Ansel Easton Adams (1902–1984) was a monumental American photographer, environmentalist, and educator whose breathtaking black-and-white images of the American West helped elevate photography to a fine art form and galvanized the modern conservation movement. Born in San Francisco, California, Adams developed a deep, lifelong passion for nature during childhood visits to Yosemite National Park, where he received his first Kodak Box Brownie camera. Alongside portrait photographer Fred Archer, Adams developed the Zone System—a scientific method for calculating optimal exposure and darkroom printing to translate visual tonal values into precise photographic prints. In 1932, he co-founded Group f/64 alongside Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham, advocating for "pure" or straight photography characterized by sharp focus, maximum depth of field, and rich tonal range over soft-focus pictorialism. A lifelong activist and board member for the Sierra Club, Adams used iconic landscapes like Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico (1941) and Monolith, The Face of Half Dome (1927) to champion national park expansion and environmental preservation. Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1980 by President Jimmy Carter, Adams leaves a legacy as one of the most influential landscape photographers in history.
