Here are some of the most sublime mountain views we've seen in a half century of serious searching. The most compelling are the 140 degree panoramic photos on double-page spreads of 23". Most plates are in (literally) fantastic color. Remember that this region is part of John Muir's "range of light." It is also a range of solitude, grandeur & austerity. If one buys but a single coffee-table book this decade it must be Wilson's large (12x10") masterpiece. Co-published by Heyday Books and the Yosemite Association.
