Climate change is affecting the world's beautiful landscapes. Global warming is melting the ice in Antarctica. Slash-and-burn farming practices are destroying forests. Rivers are dying of industrial pollution. Vanishing Landscapes provides different viewpoints on these inconvenient truths from 20 internationally renowned photographers, including Robert Adams, Edward Burtynsky, and Hiroshi Sugimoto, with short commentaries by the artists. Thirty of these striking photographs were commissioned especially for this book.
