Showcasing Williams' full-color visual imagery

The effective collaboration of freelance photographer and Wisconsin native Zane Williams and essayist Mark Lefebvre (Senior Director for the Medical School at the University of Wisconsin Foundation), Wisconsin is a coffee table book showcasing Williams' full-color visual imagery of the Badger State's natural, human, and architectural landscapes. This wonderful photographic compendium is superbly enhanced with the inclusion of Lefebvre's three informed and informative essays emphasis the state's land, history, and culture. Additionally, Wisconsin is enriched for the reader with interspersed passages from the writings of such established Wisconsin figures as August Derleth, George Vukelich, Owen J. Gromme, and Robert E. Gard. No community or academic library's "Wisconsin Studies" collection can be considered complete or comprehensive without the inclusion of Williams and Lefebvre's Wisconsin!

Zane shows Wisconsin at its best!!!

Wisconsin is lucky to have Zane Williams so he can capture our lovely state. Another book that captures Wisconsin's beauty is The Spirit of Door County with photographs by Darryl Beers. Darryl is to Door what Zane is to Wisconsin!!! Thanks to both of you!!!
