Ted Spiegel's photographs have illustrated many National Geographic articles as well as a shelf full of books, including New York's Hudson--America's Valley, Gardens of the Hudson Valley, West Point, and An American Treasure: The Hudson Valley. His annual "Hudson River Valley Calendar" has been a regional favorite for the last twenty years. Former editor-in-chief of Hudson Valley magazine, Reed Sparling is currently a writer for Scenic Hudson, the valley's largest environmental organization. He is also the editor of the Hudson River Valley Review, has penned a guidebook to Boscobel Restoration, and contributed content to the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area's Web site.
This book of photographs (the Calendar is a bonus) compliments an earlier "coffee table" book "New York's Hudson, America's Valley". While there is some duplication in format and specific pictures the reduced price and excellent content make this a worthwhile purchase. I believe that "most of the World" associates the Hudson with New York City and doesn't appreciate what a rural, unique and historic area it is. This from a resident (25 years) of the mid Hudson Valley. Thanks.
