Yosemite: Art of an American Icon Edited by Amy Scott
It was only at the end of this book was it made clear this book was an exhibition guide for an exhibition at the Autry Museum in Los Angeles. The book discusses through essays and artworks the changing view of Yosemite. There is good background on the early photography of the park. There are lots of discussion of Ansel Adams and the effect his work had on future generations. Basically, it's hard to find something new to photograph in Yosemite after Adams iconic photos. I skipped over the segment on Yosemite basket weaving. But I did like the later articles about modern painting in Yosemite.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
