Amber Waves of Grain: Americas Farmland from Above
by By Gerster, Georg
Category: Photography , General

Published by Harper Weldon Owen in association with American Farmland Trust, this is a large (10x14") book of illustrations with a modest amount of text and extensive captions to the splendid color photos. The perspective of aerial photography lends a fascination (and beauty) to farmland that escapes the earthbound observer. The captions and dramatic visual effects elucidate the sophistication of current farming methods. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
