For more than half the world's people, the weather can be a matter of survival. Good monsoons mean prosperity and life, and poor ones are attended by famine and death. The monsoon is immune to control by government and technology alike. Photojournalist Steve McCurry had just completed a working tour of India when he was commissioned by the "National Geographic" to cover the monsoon season. For a further six months he followed the path of the monsoon from the tropics to the eastern hemisphere, through Southeast Asia to Northern Australia. The resulting photographs are presented in this volume, with McCurry's personal account of the assignment.

I first saw these photographs during my Saturday morning photography class and bought the book in the afternoon. Its inspiring,and in its course offers both delight and wonder to the viewer.The power of nature balanced by the acceptance of the people make every shot an insight into a cultural phenomna far from our own ken. As an amateur it amazed me how both he and his cameras survived the positions he must have been in to capture the shots, I had visions of him up to his neck in water camrea held high motor drive whirring.I would urge all people who are inspired by visual art to buy this book.

Steve McCurry en estado puro, en este libro encontaras las fotos mas curiosas y a la vez impresionantes de la vida de esta gente.
El libro tiene varias fotos impactantes, comouna persona aparece en mitad de una calle inundada llevando la maquina de coser a los hombros o tambien aparece una habitación de una casa que esta inundada como unos 30 cm y estan los inquilinos como si nada viendo la tele..... Hay bastantes fotos impresionantes
