"We live in the Anthropocene era, where every inch of Earth is permanently impacted by human forces. This era encapsulates the world as human civilization fundamentally distorts deep ecology and dynamic planetary systems.

"We live in the Anthropocene era, where every inch of Earth is permanently impacted by human forces. This era encapsulates the world as human civilization fundamentally distorts deep ecology and dynamic planetary systems. It is a global metabolism fed by expansive motion, profound generation of power, endless extraction, and nonstop transportation of materials. And yet, something so vast we are entwined within is difficult for us to comprehend. What if we could compress it into a defined space to better visualize it and perceive it globally and locally? Indiana Transformations presents the Hoosier state as a microcosm of the Anthropocene and our interactions with it. This book captures key features of this worldwide phenomenon within a regional, bounded space, collapsing the global into the local. Drone photography from more than 45 locations across Indiana provides readers with a new visualization of the environment in which we live. By documenting the current epoch within a narrow scope, author Zach Schrank and photographer Aaron Yoder convey how the Anthropocene is not an exotic feature of a landscape on the other side of the world, but it is present in a space as unassuming as Indiana. Showcasing stunning imagery of humans' profound environmental impact, Indiana Transformations helps readers appreciate the scale of change around us"--
