The Journal

The Journal is a coffee table book and travel journal containing photo journalistic content, with interviews, photo essays, and scholarly articles. We cover the environment, regional ecosystems, past and modern histories, geography, and reflections. Our journals emerse readers through the regions, geographies, ecosystems, and inhabitants of the land. Our content expands their perceptions of the world around them.

Together with our audience we strive to remember, respect, and maintain the cultural legacies of our human family.
