At the heart of this book are 80 extraordinary b&w photos (presented in a 10x9.5 inches format) depicting people, cars, and scenes of demolition derbies. The photos are aesthetic, intimate, and compelling — curiously delightful for outsiders, and a celebration of the familiar for those involved in the sport. Photographer/writer Bill Lowenburg also includes an essay on the history of these events and a bibliography listing books, magazine articles, films, and websites. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc.
