We cite from the COVER:
" For over forty years Robert Adams has photographed the geography of the American West, finding there a fragile beauty that endures despite our troubled relationship with nature and with ourselves."
" Adams's work is distinguished not only by its economy and lucidity, but also by its mixture of grief and affirmation. On the one hand, he acknowledges an impoverishing loss of space and silence; he also records the inhumanity of much that we have built. On the other hand, he remains alert to the resilient caring, affection, and joy that can be seen in some despite their circumstances, and to the redemptive power that sunlight continues to have even as it falls across suburbs."
" A uniquely accessible introduction to Robert Adams's vision, Whal Can We Believe Where? invites us to consider the privilege of living where we do, and the obligations that follow from that privilege. It speaks not only about the western United States but also, by extension, the wider world."
