Praise for National Geographic Atlas of the National Parks

"Jon’s coffee table Atlas holds 431 pages with so many stunning images, maps and other illustrations you’ll have a hard time getting to the text. Persevere, as Waterman’s well researched and crisply written prose is uncluttered and to the point—a joy to read in either short bursts or lengthy sit-downs." -- Lou Dawson, wildsnow.com

"Great for people who may not have the time or ability to travel to as many parks as they’d like, but enjoy living vicariously through the pages!" -- Literary Quicksand

"Obviously it has to be a 5 star book because it's beautiful but it's also educational and an absolute must for anyone planning a trip." -- Stranded in Chaos
