Giblett, Rodney James.

Landscapes of culture and nature[electronic resource] /Rod Giblett. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xii, 205 p. :ill., maps ;23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Quaking zone : where body, land, and mind meet -- Alligators, crocodiles, and the monstrous uncanny -- The nether world of the uncanny cityof dreadful night -- Earth and water in the slime of World War I trench warfare -- Fire and air in the sublime bombing of World War II aerialwarfare -- The elements and the senses in world warfare -- Wilderness to wasteland : the sublime, the picturesque, and the uncanny in the photography of the American West -- Shooting the sunburnt country, the landof sweeping plains, the rugged mountains ranges : the role of Australian landscape and wilderness photography in promoting environmental sustainability and in forming a new national identity -- Land health and mental health : a new field for research nurturing biodiversity and well-being on farms -- Terrifying prospects and resources of hope : minescapes, timescapes, and the aesthetics of the future -- A natural history of natural, unnatural, and national disasters -- Black and white water : cross-cultural colour-coding of the life-blood of the earth-body.

The modern age is the age of terror. Terror arises not only in time,in a period of history, but also in space, in places of terror. This book calls them "feral quaking zones", places where the earth quakes andterror is experienced as a result of modern industrial technology. Forexample, Rod Giblett explores the dark underside of the modern industrial city; the landscapes of modern world warfare; farmscapes, minescapes and timescapes; disasters such as Chernobyl, the Asian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and 9/11, and landscape, wilderness and wasteland photography of Australia and the UnitedStates. Giblett distinguishes these sites from what he calls "native quaking zones", such as swamps- home to the alligator and crocodile, and home also to death, decomposition and new life. The bookconcludes in hope with an examination of the landscape of the wetland as the native quaking zone par excellence.
