Jake Raj's assignments have taken him to exotic locations around the world and have led to publication in Life, Esquire, Omni, Travel and Leisure, GEO, Camera 35, and Readers' Digest, among other magazines. Exhibitions of his work include Celebration: New York in Color, which has traveled throughout the world, and Glimpses of America, the first show of American color photography ever to be exhibited in China. His photographs are on permanent display in museums and collections worldwide. His previous Rizzoli titles include America and Manhattan: An Island in Focus. He lives in New Paltz, New York.
This sumptuous, stately volume showcases breathtaking panoramic photos of the United States--from the East to West Coast; from the wilderness of the frontier to the cities; and from the earliest American historical landmarks to images of America post-9/11.
