Opis
Sažetak:To Midwesterners tucked into small towns or farms early in the twentieth century, the landscape of the American heartland reached the horizon - and then imagination had to provide what lay beyond. But when aviation took off and scenes of the Midwest were no longer earthbound, the Midwestern landscape was transformed and with it, Jason Weems suggests in this work, the very idea of the Midwest itself. This work offers a panoramic vista of the transformative nature and power of the aerial vision that remade the Midwest in the wake of the airplane.
