Lake Tahoe: A Fragile Beauty

Lake Tahoe is revealed through images of both the majestic landscape and our interactions with the natural world. Thomas Bachand's stunning photography captures the allure and fragility of this beloved leisure destination, documenting this beautiful, yet, changing environment. With an introduction by the preeminent Tahoe research scientist Dr. Charles Goldman, poetry by former US Poet Laureate and 2008 Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Hass, and historical content by literary icon Mark Twain and 19th Century photographer Carleton Watkins, this important work examines Tahoe as a microcosm of the environmental challenges confronting our time.
