To photographer Chuck Haney, the badlands of North America's high plains are a photographer's paradise and spiritual places that touch the soul. In these striking, arid landscapes, the only constant is change and erosion is king. Here, water and wind are nature's artists and historians, sculpting haunting landforms of sandstone and clay, and recounting the land's prehistory in layers of ancient sediments studded with fossils and bones. Packed with 83 striking color photographs, Badlands Impressions truly captures the rugged terrain of these harsh and beautiful landscapes. In a journey spanning multiple states, including Kansas, Montana, Nebraska and North and South Dakota, Badlands Impressions will transport readers to the very best scenery our Badlands have to offer. Highlights include visits to Badlands National Park, Makoshika State Park in Montana, Little Missouri National Grasslands, Theodore Roosevelt National Park - and that's just the start!

Our prairies, plains, and rangelands would be empty landscapes without the supremely adapted pronghorn. In A Pronghorn Year: A Visual Tribute to North America's Pronghorn, Dick Kettlewell beautifully captures this animal's amazing speed, eight-power eyesight, and all-season hardiness. More than 100 full-color images including rare close-ups of newborn fawns complement the lively, intriguing text, sure to entertain and inform readers of all ages.
