{"product_id":"yosemite-in-time-ice-ages-tree-clocks-ghost-rivers","title":"Yosemite in Time: Ice Ages, Tree Clocks, Ghost Rivers","description":"Yosemite is a world-famous location that has attracted photographic greats like Eadweard Muybridge  Edward Weston  and Ansel Adams  along with environmentalists  mountaineers  and countless tourists. Yosemite in Time puts this landscape and its history in a new perspective  with Mark Klett and Byron Wolfes original photographs and panoramas  together with rephotographs of some of the most enduring images taken at Yosemite. In three essays  noted critic Rebecca Solnit brings in nature  culture  and politics to look through the past to understand the present. As she writes in her introduction  Yosemite is a singular place onto which are mapped myriad expectations and desires. To track many of those designs  Klett  Solnit  and Wolfe made multiple expeditions over three years.  They found the exact points where Muybridge  Weston  and Adams stood to photograph what would become seminal views of a grand landscape; they replicated the exact time of day and year of the earlier photographs in order to get exactly the same angle of light. While Klett and Wolfe brought both precision and invention to their rephotography  Solnit reconstructed the layers of meaning and overlapping ideas entwined with the steep  intricate  hallowed  scarred landscape of Yosemite.  Together  the photographs and essays reconsider the iconic status of Yosemite in Americas conception of wilderness  examine how the place was interpreted by early Euro-Americans  and show how our conceptions of landscape have altered and how the landscape has changedor notover time. Arresting and incisive  Yosemite in Time explores the environmental and photographic history  science  and politics of a site that has long captured our collective imagination.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44849586733109,"sku":"ByrdShop_1595340165","price":98.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1595340165.jpg?v=1765709498","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/yosemite-in-time-ice-ages-tree-clocks-ghost-rivers","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
