Publisher Description A stunning photographic tour of more than twenty sites-both abandoned and operational-that are emblematic of Americas industrial heritage. American culture and politics are shot through with nostalgia for the countrys industrial past, a time when we actually made things-physical things, not patterns of bits and bytes. But what did this past actually look like? Photographer Michael L. Horowitz has traveled throughout the Northeast in search of its remnants, both heritage businesses that have survived to the present and the ruins of decommissioned factories and infrastructure. The spaces he takes us inside range from the intimate to the vast-from the last silk flower workshop in New Yorks Garment District to Buffalos looming grain elevators and the Paterson Great Falls Hydroelectric Plant, in operation since 1914. Horowitz photographs these places with the eye not only of a photographer but of someone who has taken the time to understand their workings in detail-an understanding that is extended to the reader through Jim Holtjes lively and carefully researched text. Cathedrals of Industry will appeal to readers with a variety of interests, including history, architecture, engineering, and urban exploration. AUTHORS: Michael L. Horowitz, a New York-based photographer, has dedicated himself to documenting cultural history in the face of rapid change; his photographs of New York City, Buffalo, and Italy have been widely exhibited. Horowitz is the owner of Digital Imaging Group LLC, a custom digital and fine art photo studio. Jim Holtje is an author, speechwriter, and academic.
