Fine gray cloth-covered boards with title stamped in silver on spine, with photographically illustrated dust jacket. Photographs and text by Edward Burtynsky. Essays by Marc Mayer, Ted C. Fishman, and Mark Kingwell. Includes captions with extended information on the images and artist's curriculum vitae. Design and sequence by Edward Burtynsky, Marcus Schubert, and Jim Panou. 148 pp., with 77 four-color plates (including a four-color plate spanning a two-page gatefold) and numerous additional color illustrations, exquisitely printed by Steidl on fine matt art paper. 11 5/8 x 14 5/8 inches. CONDITION: New in publisher's shrink-wrap. From the publisher: "Edward Burtynsky's imagery explores the intricate link between industry and nature, combining the raw elements of mining, quarrying, shipping, oil production and recycling into eloquent, highly expressive visions that find beauty and humanity in the most unlikely of places. These images are metaphors for the dilemma of our modern existence: we are drawn by desire -- the chance at good living, to have all creature comforts -- yet we all know that the world is suffering to meet those demands. Our dependence on nature to provide the materials for our consumption and our concern for the health of our planet sets us into an uneasy contradiction and feeds the dialogue in Burtynsky's images between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear. Burtysnky's latest body of work gives visual form to the industrial and urban transformation of China, a place where industrial forces are gathering on a scale that the world has never experienced before. If the earth's resources were under siege through western colonialism and technological progress, then China is on the brink of a tsunami, that is only just forming and is nowhere close to expressing its full impact.

Book Description: Steidl Press, Göttingen, Germany, 2005. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. AS NEW - SIGNED 1st EDITION. Steidl Press, Göttingen, Germany, 2005. Book Condition: New, first edition signed. Edward Burtynsky’s timely images of China’s emerging industrial society inform and illustrate the current discourse both on the modern industrial state as well as China’s role in the world economy. From the publisher: “Edward Burtynsky’s imagery explores the intricate link between industry and nature, combining the raw elements of mining, quarrying, shipping, oil production and recycling into eloquent, highly expressive visions that find beauty and humanity in the most unlikely of places.” Piles of electronic waste materials, the conformity enforced by the immense factories, the construction of the Three Gorges Dam: These images, especially in their mural-sized, exhibition form, force us into a confrontation with the nearly unimaginable scale of modern industry. As a document, as art, as a reference point in a global discussion, this book should be owned by anyone who cares about the world. Hardcover, with jacket. China is in AS NEW condition, and is in stock, and available for immediate shipping. Signed by Author(s). Bookseller Inventory # BURT-CHINA-S
