About this product
Product Information
In viewing the borders and boundaries that exist between human settlement and the natural environment, Laurie Brown takes us on a modern journey on a well-worn path in human history: the pushing out of the city, initially beyond city walls of ancient Rome and then medieval Europe and today beyond political boundaries into the undeveloped frontier.

Laurie Browne(tm)s panoramic photographs of Las Vegas, Nevada, reveal lush green grass, artificial waterways, and tropical palm trees set against a stark waterless desert landscape. For Brown, who has documented suburban spaces and the altered landscape for more than forty years, these easily overlooked peripheral arease"where vulnerable wilderness meets encroaching suburban sprawle"reveal the all-too-real paradoxes of life in the desert. Browne(tm)s engaging photographs ask us to consider how far Las Vegans will go to live in a place not intended for living and whether their desires to do so are, in the end, sustainable.

Exhibit runs August 24 - November 3, 2013, Las Vegas Periphery by photographer Laurie Brown with an Essay by Sally Denton is not a book about the famous Sin City. This one is VIEWS FROM THE EDGE with beautiful, full color photos printed one on each of the large format pages of this lovely photography book. The essayist grew up in the area and tells the history of the growth of this area of Nevada, which had only about 30 homesteaders in 1905 when the first railroad reached there. In 1931 Nevada legalized gambling, and that set the stage for enormous growth. These photographs honor the part of this vast desert that was not victim of the huge city. The desert is both beautiful and unrelenting and could at any moment destroy the city. This is a book you will want to own if you travel or live there.

Thanks for the good packaging, it saved the book from serbian mailmen who are rat-faced bastard with no respect for other people property and just shoved the poor book into the mailbox, luckily the packaging prevented heavy damage. Cheers!
