First edition, signed by both authors; oblong 4to; colour illustrations from photographs throughout, including 1 folding plate; original dark blue cloth, titles to spine in orange, a fine copy in the dust jacket; 160pp. First edition, first printing of this work on the changing landscapes of the American West. Signed by both authors on the title page, with an additional inscription by Friederici, 'Off into the "Great Unknown"!'. Photographer Peter Goin focuses on human-altered landscapes and is best known for his series on nuclear test sites, published in 1991 as Nuclear Landscapes. His work has been exhibited at more than fifty US and international museums, and he has been awarded two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships and was nominated for an Emmy for his work in experimental video. Co-author Peter Friederici is an award-winning journalist and academic specialising in science and the environment. As he writes in the introduction, 'this book is about that moment of falling when the solid ground under us gives way to something new. It is about the vanishing of the second-largest artificial lake in America in the face of the new, potent phenomenon we call climate change. Though the book focuses on one reservoir in the Colorado River Basin, it is really about all our known landscapes as we watch them shape-shift into new forms'.
