Product Description
Product Description
?Five Thousand Days? is an extraordinarily collection of photographs charting one of the most momentous periods of change in human history. With an introduction by the celebrated newspaper editor Sir Harold Evans, it represents the very best of press photography over the last fifteen years. From the collapse of Communism in 1989 to the present day; our times have seen a rapid and unprecedented shift from a world dominated by the uneasy stand off between two superpowers, to one threatened by the unpredictable menace of global terrorism, suicide bombings and rogue states. Selected by the British Press Photographers Association from the work of its members, this collection encompasses everything from shattering global events such as September 11 to startling, surprising, humorous and beautiful pictures of the politics, sports, arts and entertainment of the period.
About the Author
The British Press Photographers Association provides its members with a voice to raise awareness and appreciation of the press photography industry. The membership is drawn from every part of the country, and represents the broadest selection of newspaper, magazine and agency photographers. Newspaper editor and publisher Harold Evans is one of the most inflential names in the British media and has long been a powerful spokesman for the role of photography in journalism. He was editor of the Sunday Times between 1967 and 1981, resigning a year after Rupert Murdoch acquired the paper, citing a breach of guarantees of editorial independence.
