Book Reviews of American RuinsBook Review: American Ruins - When People Go AwayDrooker's book explores uniquely American ruins using infrared photographs.Drooker travelled the entire country documenting ruins and photographing them for posterity. Most of these sites are unknown to the general public. His photographs illustrate rapidly deteriorating pieces of America as they are overrun by nature and ravaged by time. His work, like current History Channel series does, shows what happens when "people disappear" and our structures are abandoned and left to the elements.
