From Library Journal
Smithson, the earthworks artist who died when his plane crashed in 1973, is best known for his 1970 piece "Spiral Jetty," done in the Great Salt Lake. This volume, published in connection with a recent exhibition of his drawings at Columbia University, seeks to illuminate other aspects of Smithson's brief career, which have yet to be much seen or studied. An introductory essay by Tsai recaps the artist's development and relates his drawings to his more familiar three-dimensional work. A number of previously unpublished writings by Smithson, a lengthy interview with him, and reproductions of over 90 drawings and collages complete the volume. Recommended for research and specialized collections.

Review
"The reader will not be disappointed. Taken as a case study this text provides rich and fertile ground for exploration of problems familiar in many countries. The book should appeal to a wide readership for that reason...This book tells us comprehensively how Scottish education works. It also sets a research agenda for the future." -- International Review of Education (of the First Edition) "A formidable tome... the editors certainly deserve high admiration for an enormous labour of love" -- The Herald (of the First Edition) "A substantial volume... the overall standard is high... extraordinarily good value... a vast assembly of impressive material" -- Times Educational Supplement Scotland (of the First Edition)
