There's a new photography book out that may interest some foax on the list.
 It's Taking Measures Across the American Landscape, by James Corner and
Alex S. MacLean (Yale).  Just a bunch of stunning, mostly aerial pix and
illustrations of things like windmill fields, parking lots, floating logs,
and pivot irrigation (those strange circles you might have noticed while
flying over New Mexico, Nevada, Montana, etc.).  The shot of a B-52
"boneyard" (where a giant blade chops the planes to pieces in compliance
with a disarmament agreement) is alone worth a look.
