Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2016. Hardcover, 396 pp. A literary celebration of our national parks, an exploration of what they mean to us and what we mean to them. Williams creates a series of lyrical portraits that illuminate the unique grandeur of each place while delving into what it means to shape a landscape with its own evolutionary history into something of our own making. Part memoir, part natural history, and part social critique.
