| It will not be lost on anyone that the overwhelming majority of the photographs in this book take the landscape as their subject. Affection for land runs deep in us, and its manifestations-from the garden plot to the National Parks-encompass a vast range of human actions and choices. At what point in history of our species, I wonder, did the watchful, anxious regard for our surroundings, on which survival depended, begin to modulate toward love of a particular place? |
