Every state in the union contains numerous regions that are worth preserving because of their biodiversity, ecological importance, unique geologic landforms, or aesthetic beauty. Each volume in America's Natural Places focuses on one region of the country and examines dozens of the most spectacular and important of these regions - from nature preserves and national parks to wildlife areas or even just scenic vistas. This series informs readers about the wide variety of natural areas across the country and identifies places near to them that demonstrate the importance of preserving such regions.
