Front Cover
Bulfinch Press/Little, Brown and Company, 2001 - Landscape photography - 160 pages
"The Last Great Places" are the Nature Conservancy's flagship conservation sites -- some 200 biologically rich landscapes throughout the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada, Asia, and the Pacific. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the conservancy asked a dozen distinguished contemporary photographers to respond to a site with which he or she felt a special affinity. The result is "In Response to Place". This beautifully produced volume features original, unpublished images by Annie Leibovitz, Richard Misrach, Sally Mann, William Wegman, Lee Friedlander, Mary Ellen Mark, Lynn Davis, Hope Sandrow, William Christenberry, Fazal Sheikh, Karen Halverson, and Terry Evans, as well as an essay by noted photography critic and curator Andy Grundberg and a foreword by acclaimed writer and naturalist Terry Tempest Williams.
