{"product_id":"the-grand-canyon-thomas-blagden-9780789341112","title":"The Grand Canyon: Unseen Beauty: Running the Colorado River","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe majesty of the Grand Canyon is celebrated from the Colorado River as it continues to carve America's natural wonder from a mile below the rim.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs one of the Wonders of the World and the most iconic national park in America, the Grand Canyon enthralls six million visitors each year. Only a small fraction of those people, however, have the privilege of experiencing the canyon by rafting down the Colorado River. \u003ci\u003eThe Grand Canyon\u003c\/i\u003e captures and evokes the power of that journey from the drama of the rapids and the immeasurable scale of the canyon walls to the subtle rock patterns and varied life forms.\u003cbr\u003eWhat started as an exceptional opportunity for Tom Blagden to raft through The Canyon in 2006 with Rod Nash at the oars has evolved into a passionate photographic pursuit that still continues. The route--the River--is the same every time but the experience constantly variable and deeply profound. Rafters never tire of it and, if anything, feel more in awe of the Canyon's magnificence with each trip. \u003cbr\u003eTom Blagden's images and Rod Nash's essay reveal the canyon from a different perspective portraying what it's like to be on the river and immersed a mile deep, surrounded by rock almost half the age of the earth. On the centennial of Grand Canyon National Park it seems only fitting that we journey together to this unique place through the pages of this astonishing book. The book weaves a wondrous adventure that will bring readers along on a journey while raising questions about the significance of a national park and an iconic American river and how to sustain them for generations to follow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Blagden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0789341115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780789341112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli International Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 10.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Thomas Blagden","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048583852287,"sku":"9780789341112","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c72c9b5c-f938-4ee1-afd9-ac81a2efd9ec.jpg?v=1684996621","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-grand-canyon-thomas-blagden-9780789341112","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
