The American Society of Journalists and Authors awarded Disappearing Destinations the top honor in its 2009 Outstanding Book Awards in the General Nonfiction category. It is a tremendous honor even to be listed among the distinguished nominees, and we are extremely grateful to the judges for their acknowledgment of our work.

We are also proud to have won a “Top Hand” Award from the Colorado Authors League. In support of their decision to honor us with the organization’s Creative Nonfiction award, the judges made the following comments:

“Disappearing Destinations is a well-written and beautifully organized “call to arms,” regarding the environmental degradation of several popular tourist locations around the world.” Robert L. Shoop, author of several non-fiction works.

“I think this book should be required reading for all high school students and legislators—state and federal! It’s beautifully written.”  Cheryl Shubert, librarian.

If you’ve read the book, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Post a review!
