Our newest book, Wild Acadia, is now available. Acadia National Park may
be our favorite place in New England (we even named our daughter Acadia,) so
this coffee table book was a labor of love.
The book’s opening chapter explores the history of the region from its
volcanic beginnings to the time when Native Americans first settled there,
the rise of tourism, and the establishment of Acadia National Park. Using
historical photos paired with contemporary interpretations of the same
scenes, Wild Acadia expertly illustrates how the park has changed during the
last 100 years. The other chapters—“Shorelines,” “Forests,” and “Granite
Domes”—document the spectacular beauty of Acadia while exploring the themes
of wilderness, solitude, and overcrowding. In words and pictures, the
Monkman's breathtaking work captures the moods and glories of Acadia in all
its magnificence: lush, rugged, delicate, vital. With gorgeous panoramic
views and close-ups of entrancing details, the authors validate the honor
bestowed on them by the Northern Forest Alliance for “vision and excellence
in chronicling the story of the Northern Forest.” |
Wild Acadia is published by the
University Press of New England.It is a 9" x 9" hardcover book with 125
color and black and white photos, and sells for $26.95 + $3.95 shipping and
handling. Signed by Jerry and Marcy. |

“Jerry
and Marcy Monkman offer a personal and beautiful exploration of Acadia National
Park. Their passion for the land and its nature is clearly
and wonderfully communicated through the book’s words and photographs.”—Rob
Sheppard, editor,
Outdoor Photographer
“The rich images—from a macroscopic detail of lichen to a bird's-eye view of the
rugged coastline—show us that the park is much, much more than a network of
carriage roads on Mount Desert Island.”—Yankee
