ISBN: 9783865214560.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter some 25 years of exploring the impact of industry on our planet, the celebrated Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky has accumulated a substantial body of work documenting the worlds major quarries--in Canada, Italy, China, Spain, Portugal, India and America. Quarries are, of course, a crucial source for the buildings we construct, and as such, a negative correlative of what we add to the world--as well as a tangible (and neglected) evidence for our ongoing dependence on its resources. Somewhere a building is being created while a landscape is being destroyed, and, as Burtynsky writes, \"quarries…are places that are outside of our normal experience, yet we partake of their output on a daily basis.\" His images of these plundered landscapes are simultaneously beautiful and disquieting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987129495605,"sku":"ByrdShop_3865214568","price":373.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783865214560_4d22bdae-d65e-478d-a4fd-ad8fae037644.jpg?v=1778929634","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/quarries-9783865214560","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
