The Legacy of Wildness: The Photographs of Robert Glenn Ketchum

by Andrew Wilkes (Editor), Robert Glenn Ketchum (Photographer), Robert Redford (Preface)

The Legacy of Wildness: The Photographs of Robert Glenn Ketchum is the first major retrospective of a world-renowned landscape photographer whose artistry is equaled only by his commitment to the environment.

To activist photographer Robert Glenn Ketchum, art and advocacy go hand in hand. Whether depicting the rugged grandeur of the American countryside or the mournful beauty of virgin wilderness violated by progress, his landscapes reject sentimentality. Instead, they document his deep respect and compassion for our irreplaceable natural resources.

With a preface by Robert Redford and an essay by distinguished ecologist and author John Perlin, The Legacy of Wildness is a work of great innovation and integrity.

About the author

Andrew Wilkes is a family man and house husband with three amazing children. He grew up in the nineties on a coal-mining estate with very little prospects. His education wasn’t fantastic, even though he loved to learn, which is something he did when the Internet became popular. The sum-total of human knowledge at the press of a few keys has been both eye-opening and mind-expanding, and through that medium, he has learned so much, from English literature to science and many things in between.

I would also like to mention that like two of my children I have Asperger Syndrome [ASD] this has made writing a challenge, especially trying to put myself in the shoes of other people!
