The New York Times Holiday Gift Guide writes:
Part of what makes Temples of Cambodia: The Heart of Angkor (Vendome, $65), with photographs by Barry Brukoff and text by Helen Ibbitson Jessup, remarkable is its photographer's long-term vision and commitment.
"A poignant element in Brukoff's recording of Cambodia's monuments is the remarkable span of years encompassed: more than 40," Ms. Jessup writes. "Readers can compare yesterday and today, sometimes sad to see decline, sighing over the evanescent nature of the built environment, sometimes rejoicing that a disintegrating facade has been saved, a shattered pediment reconstructed."
