Like the new Ken Burns film, "America's National Parks, our Best Idea," being introduced September 27, 2009 on the Public Broadcasting system, KC Publications' books not only reveal the features of each park, they tell the story of the passion and the drama behind how each park came into being. 

As the publisher of KC Publications, KC DenDooven's passion for the Parks system has led him to orient his publications to focus more on the story and passion of some of the original supporters of the National Park System concept such as Stephen Mather and Horace Albright, the first two directors of the NPS.

The featured book above, National Park Service-The Story Behind The Scenery was written by three former NPS directors, including Horace Albright, a mentor and collaborator to KC DenDooven.

"Horace collaborated with me and, together with two later directors, Russ Dickenson and Bill Mott, Jr., actually authored my NPS book," Den Dooven said.  "Horace, who was 94 at the time, called the book a 'Folksy tale of how it all began and grew.'"

Our soft cover, 9" x 12" books are dedicated to all who find Nature not an adversary to conquer and destroy, but a storehouse of infinite knowledge and experience linking man to all things past and present.  They know conserving the natural environment is essential to our future well being.
