🎁 LOOK OUT by Edward McPherson is an exploration of long-distance mapping, aerial photography, and top-down and far-ranging perspectives—from pre-Civil War America to our vexed modern times of drone warfare, hyper-surveillance at home and abroad, and quarantine and protest. Bleeding history, reporting, personal experience, and accounts of activists, programmers, spies, astronauts, artists, inventors, and dreamers.
🎁 A perfect gift for readers seeking books comprising unique research and historical accounts.
⭐️ “A charming, idiosyncratic meditation on the human urge to see further, and more, in this cultural history of the ‘aerial view’ . . . McPherson makes an elliptical and enchanting case for reinserting wherever possible the ground-level, human perspective.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
