Reviews
"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, "Looking back through the lens of elapsed time at perhaps the most significant chapter of American space-flight history, Roland Miller captures the stark beauty of the abandoned relics of the sites that paved the way to the moon. Abandoned in Place breathes new life into old concrete, providing a fresh look even for those who lived or intimately know the glory of Apollo." --David Hitt, coauthor of Bold They Rise: The Space Shuttle Early Years, 1972-1986, "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, " 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, "Roland Miller is on a mission to document the deserted sites of America's space race."-- The Guardian, "Roland Miller is on a mission to document the deserted sites of America's space race." -- The Guardian, "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, "[Miller] is completely connected to his subjects, and his photographs are a visual extension, filled with reverence and empathy." -- Quest, "A wonderful collaboration of prose and imagery that highlights the declining state of the sites where humanity lifted off for another world." -- SpaceFlight Insider, "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.com, "This well-produced coffee-table book is filled with starkly beautiful photographs that evoke bittersweet memories contrasting America's 'glory days' of space exploration with the abandoned remnants of infrastructure that made them possible half a century or more ago." -- National Space Society, "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, "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, "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, "[Roland Miller] showcases images of deactivated and repurposed defense facilities and space-launch sites around the country." -- The Wall Street Journal, "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

Synopsis
Stenciled on many of the deactivated facilities at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the evocative phrase "abandoned in place" indicates the structures that have been deserted. Some structures, too solid for any known method of demolition, stand empty and unused in the wake of the early period of US space exploration. Now Roland Miller's color photographs document the NASA, Air Force, and Army facilities across the nation that once played a crucial role in the space race. Rapidly succumbing to the elements and demolition, most of the blockhouses, launch towers, tunnels, test stands, and control rooms featured in Abandoned in Place are located at secure military or NASA facilities with little or no public access. Some have been repurposed, but over half of the facilities photographed no longer exist. The haunting images collected here impart artistic insight while preserving an important period in history., Roland Miller's color photographs document the NASA, Air Force, and Army facilities across the nation that once played a crucial role in the space race.
