Emmet Gowin has been taking aerial photographs of the landscape in the United States, Mexico, Czechoslovakia, Asia & the Middle East for over 20 years. In his most compelling photographs, one witnesses how man`s footprint has visually scarred & continually altered the earth`s surface. This volume, published in conjunction with a touring exhibition of Gowin`s photographs, focuses on images created after 1986. That was the year Gowin began to extend his aerial photography explorations in America by recording images of military test sites, missile silos, ammunition storage & disposal facilities, coal mining, pivot irrigation, offroad motor traffic & more.
