Description: A stunning photographic tour of more than 20 sites both abandoned and operational that are emblematic of America's industrial heritage. American culture and politics are shot through with nostalgia for the country's industrial past a time when we actually made things physical things not patterns of bits and bytes. But what did this past actually look like? Photographer Michael L. Horowitz has travelled throughout the Northeast in search of its remnants both heritage businesses that have survived to the present and the ruins of decommissioned factories and infrastructure. The spaces he takes us inside range from the intimate to the vast from the last silk flower workshop in New York's Garment District to Buffalo's looming grain elevators and the Paterson Great Falls Hydroelectric Plant in operation since 1914. Horowitz photographs these places with the eye not only of a photographer but of someone who has taken the time to understand their workings in detail an understanding that is extended to the reader through James Holtje's lively and carefully researched text. Cathedrals of Industry will appeal to readers with a variety of interests including history architecture engineering and urban exploration.
