“…A 1968 exhibition in New York City featured photographic documentation of some of what are now recognized as the first Land Art projects (Rigaud 2012). Many blurred lines between natural features and forces, as in the use of metal poles as attractors for lightning strikes in Walter de Maria's "Lightning Field", orientation toward the sun in Nancy Holt's "Sun Tunnels", or the construction of sighting lines in an extinct volcano in James Turrell's "Roden Crater" (Hobbs 1982;Matts and Tynan 2012;Nisbet 2013;Saad-Cook 1988).…”

Toxic Heritage addresses the heritage value of contamination and toxic sites and provides the first in-depth examination of toxic heritage as a global issue.Bringing together case studies, visual essays, and substantive chapters written by leading scholars from around the world, the volume provides a critical framing of the globally expanding field of toxic heritage. Authors from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and methodologies examine toxic heritage as both a material phenomenon and a concept. Organized into five thematic sections, the book explores the meaning and significance of toxic heritage, politics, narratives, affected communities, and activist approaches and interventions. It identifies critical issues and highlights areas of emerging research on the intersections of environmental harm with formal and informal memory practices, while also highlighting the resilience, advocacy, and creativity of communities, scholars, and heritage professionals in responding to the current environmental crises.Toxic Heritage is useful and relevant to scholars and students working across a range of disciplines, including heritage studies, environmental science, archaeology, anthropology, and geography.

People have studied the sky from time immemorial: the recurrence of celestial events has been demarcated by signs in the landscape, from simple megaliths to elaborate monuments at architectural scale. The author introduces her project Sunset Farm, establishes links with historical precedents and explores the potential of an art expression where the celebration of cosmological events coincides with sustainable design and production of alternative energy. Furthermore, this art form could promote different layers of awareness in the viewer's perception of land and sky.
