Praise
Praise for the PBS series:
“Stunning and restorative, like the parks themselves.” —The New York Times
“A masterful historic document, a vivid portrait of the land set against the stories of those who worked to acquire it and then protect it against those who still would dismantle or compromise it.” —New York Daily News
“Beautiful and erudite…Underneath its wonder, The National Parks is really about how Americans learned (or failed to learn) proper stewardship of nature.” —The Washington Post
