"Brilliant . . . offering history and context . . . Infrastructure
delivers on its promise to be the ‘book of everything’ for our
human-made American landscape."
*Jim Rossi - Grist*
"Will help any technotourist to identify structures commonly
encountered (if often overlooked) in outdoor urban habitats and
industrial landscapes."
*Science*
"Ample text explains the unfamiliar workings of blast furnaces, oil
refineries, granite quarries and wind farms. Hundreds of photos
provide helpful illustrations. . . . Artistry can be found in the
strangest places."
*John J Miller - Wall Street Journal*
"When seen through the discriminating lens of author and
photographer Brian Hayes, man-made objects appear as exquisite and
natural as organic ones. Radar domes echo the beauty of a fly’s
eyes, a crop-irrigation rig takes on the twiggy grace of a praying
mantis, and the miles of telephone towers and wires along US
highways fuse into the western horizon."
*Elizabeth Svobada - Wired*
