Book Subtitle: Preserving America’s Space History
Publisher: University of New Mexico Press
Editorial Review: Roland Miller is on a mission to document the deserted sites of America’s space race. ―The Guardian “Abandoned in Place beautifully documents, both in images and words, the architecture and engineering of a period in which anything was possible: the first Space Age.” ―SpaceFlight “A phenomenal collection of images.” ―Crave Online “[Miller] is completely connected to his subjects, and his photographs are a visual extension, filled with reverence and empathy.” ―Quest “Abandoned in Place can be read as a reverent tour of history, but it’s also a touchstone to a way of looking at the world and the future that unified a nation in ways that few things can.” ―Vantage “[Roland Miller] showcases images of deactivated and repurposed defense facilities and space-launch sites around the country.” ―The Wall Street Journal “Miller’s arresting photographs are a testament to the early days of American space exploration. They allow us to glimpse part of what went into achieving what Kennedy called ‘the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.’” ―Atlas Obscura “Serves not only as a documentary body of work, but also as an artistic interpretation of these historic sites, preserving a vanishing era in both the space race and the cold war.” ―Space “More than just a remembrance of a lost age of infrastructure, Abandoned in Place is a meditation on landscapes of immense historical significance that are overlooked by historic preservation.” ―Co.Design “Chronicles long-neglected and largely forgotten aspects of US space history.” ―Forbes “For those [space artifacts] that can’t be physically preserved, the photos in Abandoned in Place help preserve their memories as nature reclaims their materials.” ―The Space Review “A wonderful collaboration of prose and imagery that highlights the declining state of the sites where humanity lifted off for another world.” ―SpaceFlight Insider “More than half the buildings in the book have been demolished or repurposed, but the powerful images still preserve the important period in the history of space travel.” ―Science Focus
