Welcome to a journey across Nebraska. Relax, take your time, and enjoy the vistas. From Chadron to Falls City, Carhenge to the Wayne Chicken Show, Burwell to Omaha and everywhere in between, this book captures all that is Nebraska - the people, places, and events that make this state our home. Joel Sartore drove ten thousand miles in a beat-up Chevy truck to record the essence of Nebraska in the images that grace the pages of this book. Every page offers readers a chance to reminisce about their own lives and their special times in this great state. If you don't find at least a few photographs that make you smile or remember something fondly, then you haven't been in Nebraska long enough. Joel Sartore is a Nebraskan and a longtime contributing photographer for "National Geographic Magazine". He has worked on articles about endangered species, America's wildlife refuges, U.S. federal lands, Connecticut, Utah, Boston, and Nebraska, and, have appeared in "National Geographic", "Audubon", "Life", "Newsweek", "Sports Illustrated", and "Time". Sartore is a cofounder of the Conservation Alliance of the Great Plains and the coauthor (with Douglas Chadwick) of "The Company We Keep: America's Endangered Species".
