Format:Paperback
Anyone interested in photo journalism should buy this book. Salgado is one of the great photographers of our times and this is undoubtedly his most powerful book to date. Some of the images have become 20th century classics, such as the Brazilian gold mine and the Kuwaiti oil fire series. Others are less well known, but almost all the sections of this remarkable book are filled with stunning images that have been beautifully reproduced.

I saw this book while traveling and vowed to buy it when I returned home. In our own way, we can communicate the width and breadth of human experience. Even by looking at our differences, we can be closer. We can empathize and make our experiences more poignant.
P.S. Clarification of other reviewer: Black & White photography, not "Black Photography."

This book is full of incredible, powerful photography. Although Salgado is clearly expressing a political viewpoint, there is never a feeling of being patronised or preached to.

This is an excellent book that made my back hairs raise. It really made me stop and think. This book is a valuable addition to my collection of books with great photographers.

One of the best reporter's work ever.
I discovered the book in a public library in Paris. I was really shocked when I just pass hundreds of pages just discovering great and greater pictures. Read more

A must-have book for anyone interested in photography
As an amateur photographer I find Salgado's book inspiring but also a little depressing...the pictures are so good I just wish I had one tenth of his skill. Read more
