In Response to Place: Photographs from the Nature Conservancy's Last Great Places
"The Last Great Places" are the Nature Conservancy's flagship conservation sites -- some 200 biologically rich landscapes throughout the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada, Asia, and the Pacific. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the conservancy asked a dozen distinguished contemporary photographers to respond to a site with which he or she felt a special affinity. The result is "In Response to Place". This beautifully produced volume features original, unpublished images by Annie Leibovitz, Richard Misrach, Sally Mann, William Wegman, Lee Friedlander, Mary Ellen Mark, Lynn Davis, Hope Sandrow, William Christenberry, Fazal Sheikh, Karen Halverson, and Terry Evans, as well as an essay by noted photography critic and curator Andy Grundberg and a foreword by acclaimed writer and naturalist Terry Tempest Williams.

A Picture Is Worth....

In Response to Place is an amazing book! The pictures really draw you into the mind of the photographers and into the slendor of nature in its many forms! I was lucky enough to see the exhibition while it was in Washington, DC. While the book cannot possibly evoke the same feelings of awe as the individual pictures hanging on the wall, it sure isn't a bad substitute if you cannot see them and it is a wonderful reminder if you can!
A must purchase for contemporary photography enthusiasts
