California Wild celebrates the beauty of the Golden State, interprets its natural wonders, and inspires you to care for this remarkable place with joy, foresight, and stewardship. With a blend of natural history, evocative writing, informative passages, and personal experience, writer Tim Palmer brings this spectacular landscape to life. His photographs, and those of Terry Donnelly and Mary Liz Austin, take you to some of the most spectacular landscapes in America. While much of the California landscape has been changed in the past several generations, much still remains undeveloped. This book captures the spirit of that wildness and reminds us that the exquisite workings of nature are essential to all of life. "California Wild" takes you on a tour of mountains and forests, deserts and seashores, grasslands, lakes, and rivers. You’ll experience this great state in all seasons, and you’ll share incomparable views from the highest mountaintop down to the Pacific surf at sea level. Finally, Palmer tells you about the California Wild Heritage Campaign and the efforts of thousands of people to protect wild land and rivers, which still reveal the force of nature in all its glory About the Author/Photographers: Tim Palmer has written more than a dozen books about the American landscape and its rivers, including "The Columbia", which received the National Outdoor Book Award. Terry Donnelly and Mary Liz Austin’s images appear in numerous magazines as well as in books and calendars. The trio teamed up for Voyageur Press’s "Oregon: Preserving the Spirit and Beauty of Our Land."

Review:
Husband/wife photography team Mary Liz Austin and Terry Donnelly live in Washington. Over the past twelve years they have traveled extensively in North American national parks and the American countryside. Donnelly and Austin are the photographers of Voyageur Press’s "Oregon: Preserving the Spirit and Beauty of Our Land" and "Washington: The Spirit of the Land."
Signals, March 2006 (circ. unavailable) Technically a coffee table book; a big, extra-illustrated gift book, but what a grand one it is! The book transcends its assumed genre by the sheer beauty of its illustrations. It is an important book, too, for its message.”
