Críticas
Alfred Runte brilliantly demonstrates why he is considered one of America's preeminent environmental historians. Not only does National Parks sing with inspiration but it is the most trustworthy synthesis scholars have on the American preservation movement. Everybody should read this marvelous study. Highly recommended! -- Douglas Brinkley, Rice University Al Runte is a hardcore conservationist, and his work reflects that. He's obviously in love with passenger trains, and his work reflects that, too. His books are a combination of excellent history about passenger trains and his passion for conservation. Whether you read the book for trains or read the book so you can enjoy hugging the next tree you see, either way, you will spend an enjoyable time with the writing of Al Runte. The book also contains full color photos of many of his extensive railroad collectibles and many illustrations by J. Craig Thorpe. * This Week at Amtrak * ...[B]eautifully illustrated...Trains of Discovery presents educational information in an engaging manner. * Deseret News * The railroads were an essential part of what filmmaker Ken Burns called "America's Best Idea," and Runte has no peer in telling that story. * Trains Magazine *
Reseña del editor
A thoroughly revised and expanded successor to Runte's Trains of Discovery: Western Railroads and the National Parks, the new edition now includes eastern historic sites and parks made possible or influenced by railroads. In addition to western destination, the book describes how railroads made many eastern and southern parks widely accessible for the first time.
