...a thunderously good read/eye-blower and we strongly recommend you go out and buy a copy... ...rather than merely experiencing and browsing the photographs it is like taking a personal tour of an art gallery, each image is a work of perfection, stunningly reproduced. With informative text supporting the images giving the full history and detail of the sixteen-year old festival, it's an enthralling and beautiful read...Simply luscious. ...what comes across so strongly in this book is not just the works themselves but the people who make them, and the culture in which they are imagined, incubated and realised. ...A celebration of Burning Man, but also an explanation for those unacquainted, the book explains the origin of the temple-like artworks that crop up on the playa each year.
