"Framing Nature is an intriguing book that works well on multiple levels. . . . This could be valuable as a reading in a research methods course. It provides an example of a methodology that assesses and analyzes commonplace artifacts to derive insights into qualitative aspects of a place."-E. J. Delaney, Choice
"Youngs's methodological approach yields a rich analysis that is both cultural and material and one that will hopefully inspire future scholars to contribute to a scholarly and public conversation about the process of placemaking."-Sarah Keyes, H-Environment
“An excellent book that advances an understanding of how places such as the Grand Canyon are socially constructed over time, an important and enduring theme within geographical research.”-Lisa Benton-Short, author of The National Mall: No Ordinary Public Space
“In an era of accelerating global climate change, the enhanced understanding Yolonda Youngs provides-of how past manipulations of the Grand Canyon’s visual representation influenced our understanding and management of a signature American national park-will assist us as a society in making appropriate decisions about how to manage such natural resources in the future.”-Peter J. Blodgett, H. Russell Smith Foundation Curator of Western American History at the Huntington Library
