"America the Beautiful' showcases the stunning spaces closest to our nation's heart--from the woods in the Great Appalachian Valley that Davy Crockett once called home to the breathtaking sweep of California's Big Sur coast to the wilds of Alaska. It also celebrates the people who have made this country what it is, featuring a wide range of images including the Arikara Nation in the early 1900s and scientists preparing for travel to Mars on a Hawaiian island. Culled from National Geographic's vaunted photo archives, spanning a period of more than 130 years, this provocative collection depicts the splendor of this great nation as only National Geographic can, with a dramatic combination of modern and historical imagery--from the creation of architectural icons like the Golden Gate Bridge and Lady Liberty to the last of the country's wild places preserved in our national parks. 0With a structure inspired by the original song "America the Beautiful," this book recognizes what makes our nation great, region by region. And all 50 states and six territories of the U.S. are honored with 50 words from celebrities, historians, activists, conservationists, and politicians who call America home. Profound and inspiring, this is a book for everyone who has ever marveled at the beauty of the United States." --Provided by publisher.

Jerry Berndt documented the period between 1968 and 1980 in America like no other photographer. Personally involved in the anti- Vietnam War activities of the 1960s, Berndt_s work combines photojournalism with documentary, conceptual and street photography to create a unique view of America_s social constitution during these decisive years. Berndt consistently placed himself near political conflict, systematically portraying the spectrum of America_s people and cityscapes, including the middle and working classes, as well as the inhabitants of America_s often ignored ghettos. His work from this period shows how Americans expressed themselves culturally and socially, while exposing the foundation of America_s changeable urban infrastructure. This book visualizes an important, uneasy period of transition in America_s recent history, and highlights the literal and ironic aspects of its _beauty._

This book will make some people smile, some laugh, some will agree, some will disagree, some might cry and some will think I am crazy. The purpose is to make people think about what is happening in our government. A Beautiful America is going to look at some of the things that we can do to return our country to America the Beautiful. It will not be easy but nothing that is worth fighting for ever is. There are areas of the United States that have been over run with illegals and drugs that need our help. America can return to the great country it once was and still should be. We need to understand the problems that we are facing and take action to correct them. The politicians of America have not been doing their jobs for the last several decades. We can make sure that every representative acts in the best interest of the entire United States and the citizens.
