Inhaltsangabe

This is the story of America the beautiful, as told by an impressive assemblage of freelance writers from around the country. In this far-reaching tome, America's history, landscape, people, culture, and countless achievements are considered, from prehistoric times to today. Also examined are the different topographic regions, weather and climate, as well as the flora and fauna that thrive--and struggle--throughout the land.

Moving from East to West, individual chapters are dedicated to each state. Within each chapter the writers explore the different cities and towns, their distinctive histories and economies, and the various attractions--including national parks and monuments--that help make these places unique. More than 1,500 stunning, full-color photographs illustrate the diverse beauty of each region, and with over 100 pages of detailed road maps, travelers can plan their trips to most anywhere in the country.

Also included in this edition is a special CD-ROM, which features different animations, web links, scrolling maps, and quick search facilities that will put the wonders of America at your fingertips.
