Quarries are, of course, a crucial source for the buildings we construct, and as such, a negative correlative of what we add to the world--as well as a tangible (and neglected) evidence for our ongoing dependence on its resources. Somewhere a building is being created while a landscape is being destroyed, and, as Burtynsky writes, \"quarriesare places that are outside of our normal experience, yet we partake of their output on a daily basis.\" His images of these plundered landscapes are simultaneously beautiful and disquieting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52341398176032,"sku":"USED3865214568","price":444.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91kwc7PPOqL_762a0006-db79-43a9-8846-7fd60abf9170.jpg?v=1789154783","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/quarries-3865214568-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
