    Typical Robert Adams tree stuff
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 15, 2010*

This will probably be my last Adams book involving tree-oriented landscapes.  I like Adams and his message, but I have "Gone?", "Tree Line" and now "Turning Back".  As I see it, they're all the same.  At the same time as admiring Adams, I have to wonder about his methods.  As his photography goes, none of these would win any award in an amateur photo contest.  Some of the photographs appear to be randomly composed at times, leaving you scratching your head as to what is being communicated here.  There has to be a message because there is no particular beauty in Robert Adams work.  He may be an Adams, but he is no Ansel and of course I understand why: his take is more documentary than appealing.  A casual observer though would flip through any of his tree books in a minute and state "Well I could have done that." and that is a problem if you have an agenda like Adams: you have to grip the viewer if you need to say something to him.  If you're an educated Adams viewer, that's fine, but if you're not then it does little good for your message if you don't get a larger audience; you're simply preaching to the choir.

    A difficult book for a difficult time
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2005*

This book may seem a bit inaccessible at first, but rewards those willing to spend time with it.  The images are of forests, mostly in Oregon, close to the place Bob Adams has made home for the last decade.  In this landscape, Adams finds elements that resonate both with the past and the present, celebrating what remains, but also showing very clearly the damage done.  The most savage pictures are those of clear cuts, where the stumps of the virgin forests still remain, but the effect seems more to be from war rather than commerce.  These images are all the more striking when we consider the images we have not seen from our recent history.

    Book of Tree Stumps
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2011*

Boy, is this a waste. Perhaps an attempt to decry deforestation, this book is just a whole bunch of bad black & white photos of tree stumps. 100 pages of it anyway. Then there are 25 pages of wholly ordinary photos of some extremely underexposed trees and disjunctive tree parts.If the author wanted to make a statement he should have reconsidered publishing this book, since after all it was made from a tree.
