Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"The Great Plains of America are not for sissies, but those who respond to their haunting beauty will not be driven off. The photographer Michael Forsberg and three of his writing friends show why. Forsberg has spent a long time looking at the Great Plains and now he has shared what he saw." - Larry McMurtry "The prairie is a minimalist landscape, anything but flashy. Forsberg's discerning eye frames its sparse beauty in all its exquisite detail and lovely sweep. To spend time with this book is to understand why the Great Plains matter." - Chris Johns, editor-in-chief, National Geographic "The beauty and majesty of the Great Plains come alive in the pages of this magnificent book." - James V. Risser, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting" Read more...
