Edward Burtynsky has achieved global recognition for his spectacular large-scale pictures of the impact of human activity on urban and natural environments around the world. They cover subjects such as mines and quarries, the oil industry, ship-building and ship-breaking, water as a resource under threat, and an emergent China. Curated by William A. Ewing, this volume is the first comprehensive survey of his many-sided work in more than a decade and gathers both iconic images and previously unpublished ones.
