{"product_id":"edward-burtynsky-book-edward-burtynsky-9783865214560","title":"Edward Burtynsky","description":"After 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 world's 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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50173881549073,"sku":"CIN3865214568VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3865214568.jpg?v=1750731508","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/edward-burtynsky-book-edward-burtynsky-9783865214560","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
