Summary:

"The rusting detritus of our industrial past - the wrecked hulks of factories, abandoned machinery too large to remove, and now-useless infrastructures - has for decades been a part of the North American landscape. Through a unique blend of oral history, photographs, and interpretive essays, Corporate Wasteland investigates this fascinating terrain and the phenomenon of its loss and rediscovery." -- Book jacket
