Glen Canyon: Images of a Lost World by Ladd, Gary. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780890133309.

In 1963, as the gates closed on Glen Canyon Dam, Lake Powell began to inundate this mysterious landscape. Two photographers would record its wonders-Eliot Porter, who made the Glen famous in The Place No One Knew, and Tad Nichols, the man who first led Porter through the canyon. In more than thirty river trips beginning in the early 1950s, Nichols created thousands of images of the place that gave birth to the modern environmental movement. Glen Canyon: Images of a Lost World is a stunning photographic memoir and the work of one of the Wests finest nature photographers. Featuring 164 duotone plates, journal writings, and the photographers recollections today of a world that lives again in these exceptional images.
