But because the earth is round, the lines tapered to the north. Therefore the grid had to be corrected: every 20 miles, grid corrections brought theory and practice back together. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePilot and aerial photographer Gerco de Ruijter (born 1961) first spotted these small bends and T-junctions while completing a residency in Wichita; then, with the help of Google Earth, De Ruijter found thousands of these corrections. Presenting De Ruijter's selection of over 250 photocollage grid corrections--snowed under or dried up, in cities and in deserts--and featuring an exceptional design by Irma Boom, this publication is a work of art and monument in one, a testimony to the human urge to design the landscape and the ways in which nature responds to that urge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nai010 Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462084889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 8.70w x 1.50d","brand":"Gerco De Ruijter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45439100616885,"sku":"9789462084889","price":63.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_20a10a11-017c-4646-9ef5-37e3885f7e31.jpg?v=1749003437","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/gerco-de-ruijter-grid-corrections-9789462084889","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
