Thirst : Great Salt Lake
Rare Books
Great Salt Lake is the first in a series of publications by Fazal Sheikh examining the effects of climate change and extraction in the western United States. It charts the destruction of the lake by industrialization and its pollution by chemical waste; the loss of natural wildlife habitats, the siphoning off of rivers that feed it, and the toll taken by rising temperatures and long periods of drought, all of which have brought the lake to crisis point. Sheikh reveals the condition of the lake in visceral images that provide a record of Great Salt Lake at its lowest ebb.
