If you have always wanted to visit some of the great national parks and historical monuments that can be found throughout North America, but have not had the time, here are a few national parks books that you should enjoy. The colorful photographs of beautiful scenery will help you step into locations and regions far away, and leafing through a national parks book can be a fantastic method of teaching children about nature.

National Parks of America published by the Graphic Arts Center of Publishing Company featuring the brilliant photographs of acclaimed photographer, David Muench, and co-authors Stewart and James Uddell should be on everyone's coffee table. Muench captures scenes of personal and primal importance in this collage of America's most famous national parks and monuments. From the Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina to the Old Faithful Geyser of Yellowstone, Muench's photos coupled with Uddell's insightful essays will take you away on a scenic adventure across the United States so absorbing that you could swear you can smell the fresh air in the comfort of your home.

Passionate Vision: Discovering Canada's National Parks is Canada's answer to Muench's national parks book. Showcasing the photography skills of space shuttle Discovery astronaut, Roberta Lynn Bondar, this book is homage to Canadian national parks and the fragile ecosystem we all live in. Bondar uses photos from space interspersed with pictures of unique scenery such as bison roaming the salt planes of Alberta, and panoramas of great ice monoliths of the north. The foreword was written by former Canadian Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, who first set the groundwork of the Canadian national parks system called Parks Canada.

If you want to see some incredible photographs of national parks and monuments from throughout the United States, check out Ansel Adams: Our National Parks. This popular book is filled with some of Adams' most memorable images. It also includes Adams' personal thoughts regarding these amazing landmarks. His thoughts are held in high regard by many of today's environmentalists. Whether you are interested in nature, history, or photography, this book is for you.

The Great National Parks of the World by Angela Ilidos and Giorgio Bardelli is a look at fifty-two exceptionally beautiful national parks around the world from the first-ever national park, Yellowstone, to the expansive reserves of Africa. This global journey reminds us that our future is dependent upon humanity preserving the environment of the world's most pristine areas. It is sobering and magnificent at the same time. There is more to the world than just what is outside our front door.

If you are interested in these national parks books, you can find them from a variety of sellers. The only one that is not for sale is Ansel Adams', which is located at some libraries. So, regardless of your inability to actually get out and see these natural wonders and monuments, you can learn a lot about them from these books.
