Summary: Beautiful, thought-provoking book
Review: Utah Then and Now is a wonderful look now only at the past, but at the possibilities for Utah's future. Tom Till's photographs are breathtaking. You can see his love of the Western landscape in the care with which he photographs it. Ted Wilson's commentary is both thoughtful and thought provoking. This is more than just a coffee table book. By putting photographs of Utah's past next to the present, it prods the reader to envision a third picture--that of Utah's future. In many ways, Utah is at a crossroads. The state can choose to continue on the traditional road of developing every square inch of ground as if open space were a limitless resource. On the other hand, Utahns can recognize that the natural beauties of this state are at risk and can take responsibility for preserving the land. No matter which way Utahans ultimately choose to go, this book will help people appreciate the necessity for making a responsible decision.
