Diane Burko Bearing Witness to Climate Change is an exquisitely designed book of paintings and photographs, which documents an exhibition organized by Arkansas's Walton Arts Center in conjunction with Artosphere, an annual regional festival (4 May - 30 September, 2017) that celebrates artists influenced by nature. During the last decade, Philadelphia-based artist Diane Burko has been documenting the disappearance of glaciers in large-scale series of paintings and photographs developed in close collaboration with glaciologists. In this symbiotic relationship, the artist wants her work to accurately reflect the science and the urgency of climate change, and the scientists want the artist's help in communicating their findings to the public.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration just announced 2016 was the warmest year on record. Since the 1970s, Burko's work has evolved from photographing and painting monumental landscapes to documenting glacial recession, using the power of art to capture a harsh reality. Joining expeditions in Svalbard, Norway, Argentina, Greenland, and Antarctica, she has seen first hand the rapid transformation of landscapes essential to life on earth. Her creative response, represented in these pages, compels us to take notice and take action. This book is comprised of both her photography and painting.

The book is also beautifully bound and presented, boasting a cloth cover with metallic gold debossing, tip-in photographs on the front and back covers, and foil stamping on the front cover and spine.

"As a collector of both fine art and countless books, I must say that Diane Burko's new book "Bearing Witness to Climate Change" is the most compelling art book I have seen in many, many years. Why so? Because her glorious photographs and astute commentary make an incontrovertible case for climate control. Even the most doubting Thomases who see Burko's book will have to face the worldwide disaster of global warming. As Burko explained it: "Climate change is a reality that has been scientifically observed, yet it requires our utmost powers of imagination to comprehend." In "Bearing Witness to Climate Change" she has indeed achieved that seemingly incomprehensible goal. Moreover, her work is as beautiful as it is convincing."

• It was exactly what I was looking for.
• As a collector of both fine art and countless books, I must say that Diane Burko's new book "Bearing Witness to Climate Change" is the most compelling art book I have seen in many, many years. Why so? Because her glorious photographs and astute commentary make an incontrovertible case for climate control. Even the most doubting Thomases who see Burko's book will have to face the worldwide disaster of global warming. As Burko explained it "Climate change is a reality that has been scientifically observed, yet it requires our utmost powers of imagination to comprehend." In "Bearing Witness to Climate Change" she has indeed achieved that seemingly incomprehensible goal. Moreover, her work is as beautiful as it is convincing.
• Not only are Diane's photos sumptuous and frightening at the same time, they also reflect the work and commitment of a dedicated artist who I suspect has had an astute eye and passion for nature since she was a child.
