BATW’s professional journalists and photographers are on stage in the new book, with 46 articles and nearly 200 photographs.

“California is home to 9 national parks and hundreds of national monuments, seashores, trails, historic sites and preserves, from 3.3-million-acre Death Valley National Park to the tiny Eugene O’Neill National Historic Site. Some, like Yosemite National Park, are famous around the world, while many others are overlooked jewels.” (a recent article in the Santa Rosa (CA) Press Democrat).

The Book is Free!
