Landscapes will soon no longer exist the way we know them. Global warming melts the Antarctic ice, slash and burn reduces the forests, rivers die of industrial pollution, and grassland gives way to cities as the human population grows. How do photographic artists respond? Should they glorify nature or aim to enlighten the spectator?Vanishing Landscapes provides different viewpoints from twenty internationally renowned photographers, including several works specially commissioned for this book. Each of the artists has written a short commentary on their work, and their attitude to global warming.
