Title
There goes the neighborhood : lectures on the decline of all species
Description
This work presents six neighborhoods examining the decline of biodiversity, the environment and the quality of our lives as we know it. Image and word bites illuminate the problems of population growth, ocean acidity and overfishing, deforestation, species extinction, disease, and climate change. Copyright-free 19th century engravings have been worked together in Photoshop to tell today’s stories and in a way, connect today’s problems with many of the same ones faced by those living when these engravings were originally created. Accompanying the neighborhoods are mini treatises adding specifics to the “greater than a thousand word images”. The titles are patterned after 19th century book titling practices. -- Distributor's website.
