{"product_id":"images-of-missouri-clair-willcox-9780826214485","title":"Images of Missouri","description":"From the exquisite beauty along the Ozark National Scenic Riverways to the whimsical humor of street sculpture in St. Louis and Kansas City to the gleeful faces of children enjoying a fall festival, \u003ci\u003eImages of Missouri\u003c\/i\u003e vividly captures the entire breadth of the state.Missouri is home to many well-known places and landmarks, some of which make at least a cameo appearance in the book: the Gateway Arch, the Country Club Plaza, the Missouri River, Ha Ha Tonka castle, the State Capitol and Governor's Mansion, Johnson's Shut-Ins, and the Blue Room at 18th and Vine. At the same time, \u003ci\u003eImages of Missouri\u003c\/i\u003e includes tranquil scenes from everyday life--scenes that we usually take for granted and rarely stop to absorb: a pair of grain shovels informally propped against a barn wall, an antiquated gas pump gradually succumbing to rust, a wooden walkway delicately glazed with early-morning frost, the silhouette of a fishing party before a pastel sunset.Taken by 33 of the state's best photographers, the 124 photographs in this book provide a remarkable array of perspectives--a feat that would be nearly impossible for a single photographer or even a handful. Through these photos, we discover that even ordinary objects, viewed in the right light with a discerning eye, can offer moments of heightened experience and reflection. \u003ci\u003eImages of Missouri\u003c\/i\u003e superbly captures the vibrant tapestry of contemporary life in Missouri, as well as parts of our history and identity that cannot be encapsulated in museums, archives, and textbooks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clair Willcox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826214487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826214485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Missouri Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.96h x 8.58w x 0.56d","brand":"Clair Willcox","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44074488398079,"sku":"9780826214485","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_642fac2f-0571-4f34-8de2-e7fc539cf247.jpg?v=1685454032","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/images-of-missouri-clair-willcox-9780826214485","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
