- Nebraska is a land of simple beauty, with vast golden grasslands, deep, quiet forests, and rolling hills that rise and fall like ocean waves. Its subtle beauty is everywhere, from the valleys of the Missouri and Niobrara Rivers to the fertile corn and soybean fields, from the unique landscape of the Sandhills to thriving downtown Omaha. Rich with history and culture, The Cornhusker State possesses a unique spirit. Collected here are photographer Mike Whye's finest images of a state he loves, a place that is simply beautiful.

"Nebraska: More breathtaking than you ever imagined!! This book does such an excellent job at showing you the countryside in Nebraska. It is not just cornfields and cowboys. You get to see the state from pictures of the Missouri River winding through the plains with Omaha in the background, to the rolling hills of the panhandle with chimney rock towering above everything. This book shows you amazing pictures and scenes. You will not be able to believe all these pictures were taken in the same state. The book is mainly a picture book, but it is great for the coffee table. Nebraska has so many different ecosystems, from farmland, to the Sandhills, to the high plains, and rolling hills, and many more. Show this book to anyone who has never been to Nebraska, and they will understand the state and be able to appreciate it on a much higher level. I grew up there and have explored much of the state, but am still amazed at the awesome scenery in this book."
-Dustin M. Dudley, amazon.com review "Great photos of Nebraska. I purchased this as a gift for friends from Canada who have never been to NE. The photos were outstanding and the overview of my state was very beneficial to them. I looked at several photography books on Nebraska and thought this was the best for someone who knows nothing about my state. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to see how diverse and beautiful Nebraska is."
