In North Carolina State Parks, Thomas Lehman and Michael Lee treat readers to a multidimensional view of the developed parks with more than 260 photos, and text that ranges over park features, botany, ecology, geology, history, funding of park development, and on almost every page an appreciation of the parks' natural beauty.
The authors frequently move from descriptions to explanations of the parks' natural phenomena. North Carolina State Parks appears in anticipation of the 2016 centennial of the North Carolina state parks system, and should inspire North Carolinians and guests to get into the parks and appreciate them as the state's great natural treasure.
