The book explores the evolution of American nature films in the twentieth century, highlighting how they reflect cultural values, scientific interests, and technological advancements. It examines the blend of education and entertainment in films, from early travelogues like Teddy Roosevelt's safari to mid-century classics such as Disney's True-Life Adventures.

Ultimately, they reveal Americans' complex relationship with nature, balancing a desire for connection with a sense of separation.
