My photographs are made with the same sunlight that powers all the earths living systems. --Martin Hill Reminiscent of the internationally best-selling Earth from Above; Martin Hills Earth to Earth transforms the beauty of everyday items found in nature and elevates them to ecological art.Ecology is a science that is entering its renaissance as issues of global warming; greenhouse emissions; and ozone depletion make their way from scientific debates and newspaper headlines to family breakfast tables. Environmental photographer Martin Hill and project collaborator Philippa Jones visit remote locations around the globe to create a stunning array of evocative photographs that represent a visual circle of life promoting ecological sustainability and responsibility. In addition to an eloquent introduction by Sir Edmund Hillary; ecologically minded quotes and facts appear throughout the collection: Each day more solar energy falls to the earth than the total amount of energy the planets six billion inhabitants would consume in 25 years. What use is a house if you havent got a tolerable planet to put it on? In Earth to Earth Hill presents more than 70 transcendent four-color photographs that capture images of natural items found in nature; which he then transforms into exquisitely intricate sculptural masterpieces. Prior to leaving each location--whether at the top of a snow-covered mountain or on the sand-blown shores of a windy beach--Hill ensures that each site is left exactly as it was found.

Perfect!!!By dci1712Ive been a Cavie fan since childhood and bought this in hopes of finding out a little more about the corps that I auditioned for. but never marched with. Little did I know I would not only be learning about the beginnings of he Cavaliers. but also about the Legion/VFW circuit "back in the day". as well as the beginnings of DCI itself! After reading this. I have come to realize just how important to the DCI world Don Warren is. No matter which corps is your favorite or which corps you marched with. you will enjoy reading about the "golden" days of drum corps and how they directly led to the drum corps world we live in today! Go Green Machine!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Review - Building the Green MachineBy rhamadorInteresting to hear the background on the building of the Cavaliers. Having seen the corps in the late 60s they were truly a powerhouse that many drum corps modeled after. The only area I wondered about in the book was in the early 70s (the dark years) why Don Warren took the corps back to VFW/AL Championship shows when DCI was now the new menu for drum corps? Gail Royer (Santa Clara) and Jim Jones (Troopers) were both committed to DCI and was surprised that the Cavaliers migrated back to VFW/AL Championships - this part was not explained in the book. On one hand the book addresses how Don Warren helped build DCI but on the other hand hes taking his corps to the VFW/AL Championship shows - doesnt equate.An excellent book for the drum corps nut out there!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
