But because the earth is round, the lines tapered to the north. Therefore the grid had to be corrected: every 20 miles, grid corrections brought theory and practice back together. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePilot and aerial photographer Gerco de Ruijter (born 1961) first spotted these small bends and T-junctions while completing a residency in Wichita; then, with the help of Google Earth, De Ruijter found thousands of these corrections. Presenting De Ruijter's selection of over 250 photocollage grid corrections--snowed under or dried up, in cities and in deserts--and featuring an exceptional design by Irma Boom, this publication is a work of art and monument in one, a testimony to the human urge to design the landscape and the ways in which nature responds to that urge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerco De Ruijter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462084882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462084889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nai010 Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 8.70w x 1.50d","brand":"Gerco De Ruijter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941353718015,"sku":"9789462084889","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a9fea048-cb64-410a-bf65-e186405043f2.jpg?v=1681452428","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gerco-de-ruijter-gerco-de-ruijter-9789462084889","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
