America's Vanishing Landscapes: The Western States

A Stunning Tribute to the West’s Rapidly Diminishing Wilderness. Introduction by Prominent Environmentalist Andy Lipkis, Founder of Tree People, as well as an essay by Wayne Williams, a Southern California native who grew up during one of the country’s most rapid proliferation of cities, suburbs and resulting urban blight.

America’s Vanishing Landscapes was inspired by Williams’s distress at the diminishing natural world as well as his belief that nature is one of humanity’s most emotionally sustaining elements. 

A subtle protest of environmental complacency and detachment, it is the first in a continuing series of books and documentaries he has undertaken to continue increasing attention of the starkly fading natural landscape in the U.S. Far from defeatist, his is a refreshingly optimistic vision of what could be our planet’s destiny.
