Product Description
Review
This is a coffee-table book with a difference. It burns with a sense of planet-saving mission and is the work of multiple authors, all determined to shock, delight or surprise the eco-warrior in each of us into standing up and acting more responsibly. --The Good Book Guide
Quietly powerful, the better for being reproduced on fine matt paper in an attractive, wide format. --Evening Standard
A poignant wake-up call about how some of the world's most stunning landscapes are under threat from the effects of global warming… The often bleak as well as beautiful images capturing disappearing forests, shrinking ice sheets and river valleys under threat from human development are a reminder of our personal responsibilities and what we can do to help preserve the planet. --Sunday Express
Product Description
Landscapes will soon no longer exist the way we know them. Global warming melts the Antarctic ice, slash and burn reduces the forests, rivers die of industrial pollution, grassland gives way to cities as the human population grows. How do photographic artists respond? Do they glorify nature or is it their aim to enlighten the spectator? Vanishing Landscapes provides different viewpoints from twenty internationally renowned photographers including Robert Adams, Edward Burtynsky, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Joel Sternfield, and Thomas Struth, with short commentaries by the artists, and an introduction by John Berger. About 30 of the photographs were specially commisioned for this book.
