The United States of America

Fülszöveg

The United States is a rich country - rich in nat-
ural resources, rich in magical scenery, rich in the
surprising sympathies which unite her diverse
nationalities and races. The country boasts a thril-
ling history and an optimistic future, buoyant
with yet unrealized possibilities.
No other nation in the world has a collection of
such distinctively different environments as
America. The United States may appear to be one
vast, uniform culture - but the reality is a glorious
conglomeration of variety, a land of great con-
trasts whose very diversity has made it strong.
Each state was built with great human sacrifice
and always with courage - each with its own gov-
ernment, distinguished history and way of life.
Through good and bad times, America has re-

emerged as a great and mighty power in this, the

Through good and bad times, America has re-
mained a free nation whose Constitution is still a
model for other nations to follow; after just over
two hundred years of phenomenal growth, it has
emerged as a great and mighty power in this, the
age that is often called "the American Century."
The United States of America is a vivid celebra-
tion of the fifty states in words and pictures.
America is a vast and breathtaking nation, in the
truest sense of the word - an endless feast for the
camera's eye. Every kind of geographical wonder
exists: from the lunar barrenness of Death Valley
to the neat patchwork-quilt productivity of an In-
diana farm, from the snow-capped peaks of the
Cascades to the rugged buttes of the Badlands.
Within the pages of this single unique volume, a
panorama of the real America emerges. And the
hundreds of color photographs, together with
state maps and vivid illustrations of the state
flowers and flags, bring to the illuminating words
of authors Robert Gildart and James Murfin a ful-
ler power. Their great experience and love of this
country shine through this portrait of a living,
breathing, 1980s United States of America. Vissza
