Book Description

**A New York Times Bestseller!** Based on the wildly popular Instagram account, Subpar Parks features both the greatest hits and brand-new content, all celebrating the incredible beauty and variety of America’s national parks juxtaposed with the clueless and hilarious one-star reviews posted by visitors. Subpar Parks, both on the popular Instagram page and in this humorous, informative, and collectible book, combines two things that seem like they might not work together yet somehow harmonize perfectly: beautiful illustrations and informative, amusing text celebrating each national park paired with the one-star reviews disappointed tourists have left online. Millions of visitors each year enjoy Glacier National Park, but for one visitor, it was simply "Too cold for me!" Another saw the mind-boggling vistas of Bryce Canyon as "Too spiky!" Never mind the person who visited the thermal pools at Yellowstone National Park and left thinking, “Save yourself some money, boil some water at home.” Featuring more than 50 percent new material, the book will include more depth and insight into the most popular parks, such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Acadia National Parks; anecdotes and tips from rangers; and much more about author Amber Share's personal love and connection to the outdoors. Equal parts humor and love for the national parks and the great outdoors, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves to spend time outside as well as have a good read (and laugh) once they come indoors.

Book Description

THE OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE PHOTOGRAPHS, PUBLISHED FOR THE FIRST TIME AS A BOOK The definitive portrait of Donald J. Trump’s landmark presidency, as seen through the lens of the Official White House Photographers Working with the trust and close confidence of the Commander in Chief, the Official White House Photographers are granted unprecedented freedom to accompany the president and First Family behind the scenes and into their private life. Their images capture a side of the president unseen by the gaze of the controlled media scrum, offering the most accurate and revealing portrait of the Trump White House available. Now, these photographs are shared with the nation. Selecting the finest and most historic images from the White House’s exclusive collection, Trump: A Presidential Portrait is a visually stunning all-access pass to the 45th presidency. These extraordinary images portray both the grandest and most intimate moments, offering an insider’s look beyond the gates of the White House, and behind closed doors of the Oval Office, the Situation Room, and Air Force One, as well as President Trump’s official trips across the nation and the world. Accompanied by quotations from the president’s speeches, Trump: A Presidential Portrait offers a unique window of many of the most consequential events of the President’s term: the appointments of Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, the construction of the border wall, the White House Situation Room on the day of the raid that killed ISIS leader al-Baghdadi, the seventy-fifth anniversary commemoration of D-Day. We also see Trump perform the solemn duties of the commander-in-chief: addressing the troops at military bases across the globe, awarding the Medal of Honor, and visiting Arlington National Cemetery. And there are intimate, private scenes of the President and First Lady at the White House, as they entertain foreign dignitaries and share quiet moments with family. Featuring more than 250 photographs in gorgeous full-color, here is the first book to gather the official photographs of the Trump White House—and an essential visual documentary of American history.
