A beautiful book that really tells a story and celebrates nature in a unique way. A great gift for anyone who appreciates natural beauty.

A Picture Is Worth....

In Response to Place is an amazing book! The pictures really draw you into the mind of the photographers and into the slendor of nature in its many forms! I was lucky enough to see the exhibition while it was in Washington, DC. While the book cannot possibly evoke the same feelings of awe as the individual pictures hanging on the wall, it sure isn't a bad substitute if you cannot see them and it is a wonderful reminder if you can!

A must purchase for contemporary photography enthusiasts

This book is fabulous, showing many new works from contemporary photography masters like, Mann, Chistenberry, Misrach, etc. All works for a traveling photography exhibition!
