Book excerpt: A frequently thrilling book that showcases the work of 35 internationally recognized environmental artists, all of whom share a goal to motivate people to understand humanity's relationship to the planet, and to correct the negative impact of technology on the environment. In his or her own words, each artist addresses the intentions and mechanics of their particular project. The works break through traditional barriers to create systems that are themselves a part of the Earth, using for example, natural forces in their structures--tidal flows, wind currents, and forest regeneration.
