14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful images. poor editing and compositionBy A. G. BellBooks like this often contain hidden gems; this one does. at least on several pages. The concept is a bit high-minded. but overall the quality of the images chosen. as well as their significance (admittedly. the latter being open to a very broad interpretation). is well handled.What dissapoints here is the lack of care put into the editing and composition of the work. Why--especially in a book of this size and format--the editors felt it necessary to span multiple pages with images which would otherwise fit unbroken on a single leaf is beyond me. When you take a photograph and print all but one inch of it on one page. leaving the rest hidden in the binding. you destroy the point behind the book; you lose the image. The only way to see complete photos in several cases here is to unbind the book (that is. destroy it) and piece the pages back together.Having known firsthand how unfortunate it is these days that many publishers just dont care about this sort of thing. were I Mr. Paglen (the author). Id be a bit irritated over the layout and execution of an otherwise good work.5 stars for the content; a big zero for how it was unfortunately mis-handled.
