The first illustrated history of the Sierra Club, this stunning volume celebrates America's foremost environmental organization on its 100th birthday. Discovering how the followers of beloved 19th century naturalist writer John Muir have fulfilled his club's mission, "to explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of this Earth," makes for an exhilarating journey from Yosemite Valley to Alaska, from Penobscot Bay to the Everglades. Three hundred breathtaking images by America's finest nature photographers present the landscapes saved by the Sierra Club's grassroots activism, while a lively text tells the saga of the Club's century long, continuing struggle to preserve America's natural heritage.

Notable Camera Artists - Eliot Porter, Philip Hyde, Galen Rowell, Art Wolfe, Carr Clifton, and Kathleen Norris Cook
