Authors William A. Ewing and Holly Roussell and publisher Thames & Hudson examine our present world in a fascinating collection of photographs by some of the best photographers in the world in Civilization The Way We Live Now.
The oversize, hardbound book looks at our quickly changing world that seems to grow smaller everyday as technology, world-wide trade, fast and globe-spanning transportation and other factors bring the people of the world closer together.
Close-up and personal photos of people, places and objects coupled with wide angle and overhead shots of work and dwelling places, agricultural areas, vast dumping grounds for waste and dozens of other photos of vast arenas filled with people, crowed work places, reshaped landscapes and cityscapes, spiritual centers and more demonstrate the ever-changing and frenetic pace our world is experiencing.
One hundred and forty photographers contribute over 500 images in this impressive, large and beautifully bound and printed, oversize hardback book that illuminates the human condition as shared by people from all over the globe.
What an amazing collection of images that say so much more than mere words. It’s true when they say, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
I learned so much from this work and came away with a new appreciation and wonder of our modern day world.
