Places of Power, John Sexton's third book, will transport you to places few have experience firsthand. Beautifully produced, this book will explore the haunting mystery of ancient Anasazi cliff dwellings, the monumental scale of Hoover Dam, the massive energy of steam turbine power plants and the intricacies of the Space Shuttle ? the single most complex system ever assembled in human history. These photographs will bring you into intimate contact with these amazing technological achievements. Seen through Sexton's eyes, these structures and machines built for utilitarian purposes are transformed into miraculous scultptures.
