.National Geographic Guide to the National Parks of the United States, 5th Ed. (National Geographic Guide to the National Parks of the United States)

by: National Geographic Society

February 21, 2006
I am a traveling lover, but not professional traveler (why should I?). I do not have enough time to make deep research before each trip, and I hardly have days and nights to explore every corner of those beautiful national parks. This book gives me a good executive summary and a practical guide to arrange my itinerary. It is pretty reliable. Anyway, my purpose traveling to national parks is for pleasure, but not for making a map. :-)

.National Geographic Guide to the State Parks of the United States, 3rd Edition (National Geographic's Guide to the State Parks of the United States)

by: National Geographic Society

March 18, 2008
This book has a great deal of information but it doesn't list the parks I wanted to find. For the state of Florida only five are written up! Since there are over 40 Parks in the State, I found this Ludicrous.
This book picked the top 200 state parks and completely ignored all the others. I was expecting a list of parks in each state with codes for facilities and a few highlighted with more information.
I bought the book so I wouldn't have to look up each state on the internet. Not only did it not meet my expectations, but I thought it was very expensive. It was a big disappointment. Save your money and just use the internet.

.National Geographic Our World, Updated Edition: A Child's First Picture Atlas (Science Quest)

by: National Geographic Society

July 11, 2006
This atlas is perfect for my 3-year-old son. We pull it out regularly to show where something/someone is. It has simple, uncluttered maps with a few details that we can choose to read or not.

Very detailed information about most herbs, I wish there were more in there, but the ones they do list are very detailed in their descriptions.

.National Geographic Photography Field Guide: People and Portraits

by: National Geographic Society

March 01, 2002
A great deal of information packed into a small package. These are the people who give you the incredible National Geographic images explaining how they do it. From equipment, to brief explanations of the masters like Cartier-Bresson, they set forth their approaches to portraits,lighting, street photography, action, environmental and groups. Well worth the price and several reads. The equipment sections have lightened my load and my back is greatful. Remember, these people are often traveling alone, carrying all their gear, yet producing those memorable images. You might want to see the National Geographic Photographers dvd and watch them in action.

.National Geographic Photography Field Guides: Landscapes

by: National Geographic Society

March 01, 2002
Previous reviewers have been unfair with this book. You cannot knock a book for delivering exactly what it promises to deliver.

Following up on the great National Geographic Photography Field Guide and focusing specifically on landscapes, of course this book is going to be thinner. However, it shines at what it sets out to do.

Every chapter is packed with world-class photography tips as well as inspiring landscape images - from the world's best. Most of the excellent examples are by Caputo himself but outstanding photographers such as Sam Abell, Bruce Dale, and James Blair have also contributed many of the stunning photos throughout the book.

This small guidebook is clear, honest, and practical, full of techniques that work ... Read More:
