Thomas Bachand's stunning photographs of Lake Tahoe capture the allure and fragility of this beloved leisure destination. This monograph of fine art landscape photography is becoming the best-selling book on Lake Tahoe. With an introduction by preeminent Tahoe research scientist Dr. Charles Goldman, poem by former U.S. Poet Laureate and 2008 Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Hass, and historical content by literary icon Mark Twain and 19th Century photographer Carleton Watkins, this important work not only expresses the beauty of Lake Tahoe but examines it as a microcosm of the environmental challenges confronting our time.
