Description for Yosemite in Time: Ice Ages, Tree Clocks, Ghost Rivers
Paperback. These photographs and essays reconsider the iconic status of Yosemite in America's conception of wilderness, examining how the place was appropriated by its early Euro-American visitors and showing how conceptions of landscape have altered and how land has changed--or not--over time. Num Pages: 144 pages, 33 color photos, 33 B&W photos. BIC Classification: 1KBB; HBJK; RNK. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 304 x 249 x 13. Weight in Grams: 960.
This book blends personal observations on Yosemite with reflections on photography and aesthetics, tourism and public life, and the histories of environmental and social politics. Rebecca Solnit's linked essays are interwoven with stunning images old and new: the book combines classic pictures by Eadweard Muybridge, Ansel Adams, and Edward Weston with painstakingly re-photographed versions to show the startling changes wrought over time -- by nature and humankind. Yosemite in Time paints a multifaceted portrait of a natural treasure that reflects the most compelling issues of our time.
