Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. A powerful work and more than a book of photographs, the volume contains the authors plan to reclaim the land for designation as a environmental memorial and national park. From the dust jacket flaps: "In 1952 the U. S Navy began illegally testing high-explosive bombs on an enormous expanse of public land near Fallon, Nevada, The land had long sacred to the Northern Paiute Indians, who called it the 'Source of Creation. ' The Navy called it 'Bravo 20. ' / With the help of local residents, award-winning landscape photographer Richard Misrach gained access to the area using an 1872 mining law to claim a tract of land at the heart of the bombing range. Despite initial fears of unexploded bombs or wayward Navy bombers, Misrach 'worked his claim' and his camera for the next eighteen months. The result of his efforts is a breathtaking collection of full-color photographs--and a remarkable proposal for America's first environmental memorial: Bravo 20 National Park. / The photographs capture both the natural beauty and the manmade devastation unique to this remote Nevada landscape. Scattered across the great alkali flat, rusted wrecks of military vehicles lie as if on a battlefield. A bomb crater is filled with crimson liquid where the earth itself seems to bleed. / In the accompanying text, Myriam Weisang Misrach documents the disturbing history of widespread military expansionism in the American west. As they built faster jets and bigger bombs, the Navy, Air Force, and Army claimed larger and larger test sites. Through extensive research, firsthand exploration, and interviews with military brass and area residents, the Misrachs uncover a strange story of sonic booms, dead cattle, and military control of over 70 percent of Nevada's air space. / Bravo 20 concludes with Richard Misrach's provocative proposal for reclaiming the land as a national park and America's first environmental memorial. Detailed architectural drawings illustrate the proposal. / 'The landscape, ' Misrach writes in the preface, 'boasted the classic beauty characteristic of the desert. It was also the most graphically ravaged environment I had ever seen. / The landscape of Lone Rock is a graphic reminder of our failing stewardship of this earth. It should be returned to the public domain for all to see." E-167; Creating The North American Landscape; 12.4 X 9.4 X 0.8 inches; 152 pages.
