Hardcover. First edition. Introduction by Reyner Banham. The desert provides the thematic focus in this book, but with the "cantos" organized around the four elements, Misrach offers an apocalyptic version of our complex relationship to it. Misrach's photographs are spectacular landscape views, but they are more than that. He is concerned with the desert as a wild and primordial place and with the effects of the human presence on the desert. He maintains an interesting and ironic balance between the beautiful dreamy colors and the natural (or man made) catastrophes, like floods and fires. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket.
