Surf crashing against rugged shorelines, lighthouse beacons flashing form isolated points, and fall foliage painting hillsides brilliant orange and red. These are the images that have made New England a haven for nature lovers and a world-famous tourist destination. Yet these states offer much more than picturesque scenery. Cities such as Boston and Hartford are rich in history and culture, while events such as the Head of Charles rowing regatta in Cambridge and the Pumpkin Festival in Keene entertain visitors and locals year-round. About the "America" series: As expansive as America itself, this outstanding series captures outstanding views of panoramic landscapes, brilliant city skylines, and picturesque communities. Each volume focuses on a city or state and features 96 pages and 70 stunning images by internationally renowned photographers, plus descriptive captions.
