This unique collection brings together the work of photography writer, curator, and lecturer, Liz Wells, reflecting on key themes of landscape, place, nationhood and environmental concerns.

The collection opens with a conversation with Martha Langford, bringing together two leading figures in the field to provide an introduction to Wells' thought and the themes that emerge in her work. The essays brought together here draw on work from a variety of sources including artists' photobooks, exhibition catalogues, magazines, academic books and journals. Chapters are divided into three sections, each opening with an introduction by the author, providing context for the essays and drawing links to contemporary debates around climate and environment. All of these pieces demonstrate Well's approach to thinking through practice, reflecting a core view of art (at its best) operating to convey information including the implications of what is being explored and to evoke responses that are simultaneously sensory and intellectual.

This collection will be essential reading for students and scholars of photography, visual culture, and art history, especially those examining landscape and environmental photography.
