Book Reviews of China
Book Review: A significant and breathtaking record
Summary: 5 Stars
As a record of this time in the world's history ... the dismantling of local industry around the world in tacit acquiescence of China's future dominance ... I can't think of a more significant body of work in the medium. The images herein are truly breathtaking for their scale. Burtynsky has a privileged view and uses crisp large-format photography to lend authority to his vision. The monumental is not without a humanizing touch as can be seen best in his beautiful ship-building images. This is a wonderful book with images that one can marvel at for their execution whilst viewing with trepidation for their portent. The printing and presentation complements the images.Book Review: large format photography
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice and wonderful.
If you like large format details
this is to see
BUT I'm very angry because the package by amazon wasn't efficently prepared to the reality of post office.
Book Review: Interesting landscape
Summary: 5 Stars
Large format, interesting photographs of China. I was worried his work might not translate in a book, but if you like his work, not to worry about that.Book Review: Over all it's a nice book of a good photographer
Summary: 4 Stars
I realy like Edward Burtysky as a photographer and this book shows sokme really nice photo's. But for some reason some of his photo's took me by surprise as I saw them in a completely different lightfrom other photos of which he took. it's a bit hard to explain but it almost seems like two different photographers were sharing this wonderful, 147 pages, Hardcover book.Book Review: Beautiful book disfigured by Amazon's packaging
Summary: 2 Stars
A beautiful book disfigured by Amazon's packaging. The tight plastic shrink-wrap bent the corners of the book, greatly reducing its value as a part of my collection. This isn't the first time that a photo-book from Amazon has arrived already marred. It's a shame.
