...exchange for your efforts, this haunting and unshakable book will change the way you look at your world. Ware captures landscapes made to flatten emotion--a clinic shrouded in snow, a sterile apartment complex--and yet shows the reader the meaning and even beauty in every glimpse from a highway, every snippet of small talk.

And that may be this melancholy book's uplifting message: even in the most emotionally barren settings, there...

...example. Forest fires are not nearly as devastating in the long term as they seem at the fiery moment. The big 1988 fires in Yellowstone National Park, hyped by media pictures and ineffectually fought with the largest fire-fighting army in history, did not go out until heavy snow and rain came in mid-September. The burned areas are regenerating nicely, as nature intended...
