(2) 4-6 Forty-five double-page spreads detail the political, human, and environmental conditions and consequences of the 1930s Dust Bowl devastation. Archival photographs illustrate each section with breathtaking impact in terms of both composition and subject; Sandler also (indirectly) presents an outline of photographic history. Loosely organized, the sections stand alone, but the detailed index allows readers to find particular information quickly. Reading list, websites. Bib.
