'The images in this book ask that we follow the quiet journey of Robert Leslie and his camera through a land where the notion of the unstoppable economy, a land of plenty, the 'American dream', is brought into question. Is this moment in history a major setback or is this the beginning of the inevitable decline of an empire - ' Edward Burtynsky
