📚 National Parks

Land set apart: the idea’s birth in 1872, its global copies, and the arguments over tourism, wildlife, and the word wilderness.

Below are the 30 works carrying the subject national parks and reserves in the Open Library catalogue with the most editions in print. Author and first year are as the record states them; a missing year means the record does not carry one, not that the book is undated. Novels set in the subject are left out, because a list of historical fiction is not a list of history. Where one author dominates the reprint counts, no more than two of their titles appear.
