Beautiful Destruction is on the Globe and Mail’s 2014 Christmas list of recommended books.

Under photography books (“For the shutterbug”)

Beautiful Destruction, by Louis Helbig (Rocky Mountain Books, 304 pages, $75) Over 200 aerial photographs of the Alberta tar sands showcasing the environmental impact, along with a series of essays from thinkers as diverse as Ezra Levant and Elizabeth May, allow for an exploration of a hugely polarizing issue.

It is the only Canadian book (with a Canadian author and a Canadian publisher) in the photo book recommendations.
