Limestone cliffs as high as 800 feet tower above the Kentucky River as it snakes through the Bluegrass Region of central Kentucky. Known as the Palisades, this area supports a large concentration of rare plants, and its rugged canyons, hidden water-falls, and winding channels are home to endangered wildlife. Remnants of Civil War outposts and former Shaker communities still stand along the riverbanks, an area as rich in history as it is in biological diversity.
Acclaimed landscape photographer Adam Jones portrays the unique character of the Palisades, while Richard Taylor's text documents the natural and human history. Co-published with the Kentucky chapter of The Nature Conservancy, this book celebrates a vital native habitat and an important link to the past. (Profits benefit the Kentucky Nature Conservancy)
