Hi,

I recently discovered the pictures of Galen Rowell and immeadiatly fell in
love with his work. I already have two books from him (Mountain Light, Inner Game of Outdoor Photography) but my photographic eye is lusting
for more :D Now the question:

Can someone tell me what the difference is between
Art of Adventure Photography (http://www.amazon.com/Art-Adventure-Galen-Rowell/dp/0871568810/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278372206&sr=1-2)
and
Galen Rowell's Vision: The Art of Adventure Photography (http://www.amazon.com/Galen-Rowells-Vision-Adventure-Photography/dp/0871563576/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278372206&sr=1-1)
?

The former is/was published by "Sierra Club Books for Children", which
confuses me a bit, and the later by "Sierra Club Books".

Are there other books you would recommend getting from him? (and why?) Thanks!

Some of his other work is worth seeing.

Galen Rowell; A Retrospective, North America the Beauty, Bay Area Wild and Mountains of the Middle Kingdom are all worth looking at. Some are not instructional per se but rather collections of his work.

I can't tell you the difference between these two titles though. Maybe look at Amazon.com and see if there's a "look inside" feature for these titles?
