George Alexander Grant is an unknown elder in the field of American landscape photography. Just as they did the work of his contemporaries Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Eliot Porter, and others, millions of people viewed Grant's photographs; unlike those contemporaries, few even knew Grant's name. Landscapes for the People shares his story through his remarkable images and a compelling biography profiling patience, perseverance, dedication, and an unsurpassed love of the natural and historic places that Americans chose to preserve.

A Pennsylvania native, Grant was introduced to the parks during the summer of 1922 and resolved to make parks work and photography his life. Seven years later, he received his dream job and spent the next quarter century visiting the four corners of the country to produce images in more than one hundred national parks, monuments, historic sites, battlefields, and other locations. He was there to visually document the dramatic expansion of the National Park Service during the New Deal, including the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Grant's images are the work of a master craftsman. His practiced eye for composition and exposure and his patience to capture subjects in their finest light are comparable to those of his more widely known contemporaries. Nearly fifty years after his death, and in concert with the 2016 centennial of the National Park Service, it is fitting that George Grant's photography be introduced to a new generation of Americans.

Solid sunscreen, yummy scent!
Scent: Pear & Coconut Water
Easy to apply, blends in smooth with skin, and smells yummy! It worked well in the strong sun of Punta Cana, plus it's better for your skin than most sunscreens out there.

Gentle Cream Cleanser That Actually Works
If you’re specifically looking for a foam-based face wash, this isn’t one—it’s more of a cream-based cleanser. But honestly, that’s what makes it work so well. It feels light, not oily, and leaves the skin smooth after washing. You don’t need a lot of product, so even a small amount goes a long way—especially if you pre-wet your face. It might feel a bit different at first if you’re used to foaming or soap-based cleansers, but give it some time. After about a week of using it twice daily, I started noticing a difference—my skin felt clearer, and some pimples and spots began to reduce slightly. Overall, a gentle yet effective option if you’re looking for something that delivers results over time.

Gentle, effective cleanser that’s great for everyday use
This is a really nice, gentle cleanser that works well for everyday use. It feels effective without being harsh, and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or irritated afterward. A little goes a long way, and the bottle lasts a good while. The scent is very light and neutral, which I prefer, and it doesn’t burn, dry out or cause any discomfort on my skin. Overall it leaves my skin feeling clean, smooth, and comfortable. Definitely a solid choice if you’re looking for something effective but not aggressive.

A must have for young, acne prone skin!
I recommend this product to every one. Its a cheaper alternative that provides real results. I started out using it everyday, but found it works best around my breakouts (usually hormonal). Its help the texture of my skin even out. My 14 year old son uses it daily for his acne and the difference it has made is day and night. It has slite scent to it, but nothing overwhelming.

Very effective!
My daughter had horrible acne and this was the only thing that worked! We tried everything on the market. I highly suggest this if you have a teen with stubborn acne!
