In addition to revealing the rarely-seen mechanics of its manufacture, Burtynsky captures the effects of oil on our lives, depicting landscapes altered by its extraction from the earth and by the cities and suburban sprawl generated around its use. He also addresses the coming \"end of oil,\" as we confront its rising cost and dwindling availability. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eBurtynsky’s extensive exploration is organized thematically: aerial views of oil fields, the architecture of massive refineries, highway interchanges ribboning across the landscape, and popular motor culture events. In considering the consequences of our use of oil, the artist presents compelling images of ancient oil derricks, vistas of junked vehicles, scrap recycling yards, and oil-tanker shipbreaking operations.\u003cem\u003e Edward Burtynsky: Oil\u003c\/em\u003e is the definitive photographic documentation of this hotly debated subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e2010 \u003c\/em\u003eKraszna-Krausz Book Award, U.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e2011 \u003c\/em\u003eDeutscher Fotobuchpreis, Silver Award\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steidl (1st edition 2009)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e: English\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-10\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3865219438\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 978-3865219435\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 x 15 x 1.5 in\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.3 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IPS\/DAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555698446393,"sku":"210000003483","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/0872\/9145\/files\/burtynsky-oil-cover.jpg?v=1790279954","url":"https:\/\/shop.icp.org\/products\/edward-burtynsky-oil","provider":"International Center of Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
