Review of 'American Earth' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

An excellent collection of authors ranging from Henry David Thoreau to R. Crumb, each commenting on the howling (and reduced) landscape of the American Earth.
Foreword by Al Gore.

Very well Illustrated, with examples from A.B Durand, Ansel Adams, Vint Lawrence, Crumb & many other photo documents.

I am very fond of this book and recommend it to anyone interested in a condensed yet thorough survey of environmental writng.
