In the course of one year, David T. Hanson travelled across the United States to make aerial photographs of 67 "Superfund" sites, polluted locations in need of immediate attention, to document both US geography and its ravaging by industrial waste in one artistic odyssey. Hanson's Waste Land series, published here in its entirety for the first time, is a master photographer's meditation on the country's most dangerously polluted places. Each work in the series juxtaposes the artist's photograph with a modified topographic map and the EPA's own description of the site's history and hazards.ISBN 9780692046074. Taverner Press. hb.
