Author Description

"Emmet Gowin has been taking aerial photographs of the landscape in the United States, Mexico, Czechoslovakia, Asia, and the Middle East for more than twenty years. His growing body of work bears witness to how humankind has visibly scarred and continues to alter the earth's surface. This book, published in conjunction with the first major touring exhibition of Gowin's photographs in over ten years, focuses on images created after 1986."--BOOK JACKET.
