{"product_id":"9783865214560","title":"Quarries","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter some 25 years of exploring the impact of industry on our planet, the celebrated Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky has accumulated a substantial body of work documenting the world's major quarries—in Canada, Italy, China, Spain, Portugal, India and America. Quarries are, of course, a crucial source for the buildings we construct, and as such, a negative correlative of what we add to the world—as well as a tangible (and neglected) evidence for our ongoing dependence on its resources. Somewhere a building is being created while a landscape is being destroyed, and, as Burtynsky writes, \"quarries…are places that are outside of our normal experience, yet we partake of their output on a daily basis.\" His images of these plundered landscapes are simultaneously beautiful and disquieting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steidl, Gerhard Druckerei und Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055043854576,"sku":"9783865214560","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783865214560_p0.jpg?v=1763699067","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783865214560","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
