Reviews

"The full story of the rapid coalescence and far-reaching influence of earthworks is fascinating, significant, and untold until now. Writing with unfailing clarity and momentum, Boettger sets earthworks firmly within the artistic, social, and political sensibilities of the times. . . . She illuminates crucial facets of our perception of both nature and art then and now."--"Booklist
