Hardcover Book with dust jacket/ cover
'The United States of America, one of the largest countries in the world, presents a variety of scenery, climate, people and customs unequalled almost anywhere.
Snow-capped Mount McKinley in Alaska is, at 20,270 feet, the highest point in the United States, and Death Valley, which lies 280 feet below sea level, is the lowest. Between these two extremes are very different landscapes, ranging from the vast plains of the wheat-growing Prairie States to the arid deserts of Arizona and Utah: from the swamplands of Florida to the beautiful coastlines of Maine and California.
There are, in addition, many fine and interesting cities such as Washington D.C., home of the gracious White House and Capitol building, New York with its unforgettable skyline and the Statue of Liberty, and Boston and Philadelphia, rich in colonial history but so much a part of the 20th century. Farther south, at the tip of Florida, is Miami, the winter playground of the rich, and on the west coast stands the lovely and unique city of San Francisco, famous for its Golden Gate Bridge and cable-cars, and Los Angeles - whose glamorous suburbs, Hollywood and Beverly Hills, are a top tourist attraction.
America has often been described as the world's melting-pot of races. Originally inhabited by tribes of Red Indians, in the last three hundred and fifty years it has become home for immigrants from many countries, all eager to start a new and invariably better way of life.
The superb colour photographs - many specially taken for this book - portray the beauty and variety of this huge land, and they serve to show why it holds such an attraction for so many people all over the world.'
Beautiful photography - iconic double page photograph of the TWIN TOWERS as they stood in the NYC skyline and so many more!
