Product Description
 September 11, 2001. A day that shook the world and left thousands dead in the World Trade Center, in the Pentagon, and in the Pennsylvania countryside. This book serves as a testament to those who lost their lives, to those who fought to save them, and to those who are endeavouring to rebuild. The guiding principle in assembling these images was one of documenting scenes of endurance and resolve. Finding the pictures that capture courage and fortitude in the heat and dust of ground zero. All profits from this book will be donated to AIDfund, AIDfund for America and The Pearson September 11 Children's Fund, along with additional contributions from Reuters and from Pearson Education, the book's publisher. Images with CommentaryPlease click on "Related Articles" on the left-hand column of this page for a selection of images with commentary from the book.  About Reuters Reuters has the largest news agency network in the world and is recognized as one of the leading providers of text and video news and news pictures. With some 2,500 journalists, photographers and cameramen on the spot all over the world Reuters captures images and covers stories as they break. This book is a collection of some of the most memorable and dramatic images of the events of September 11 and its aftermath, both from the US and from around the rest of the world. From a huge collection of reportage we have tried to bring together coverage of these world-changing events into a record both disturbing and inspirational in its impact. About AIDfund and AIDfund for America This book is also about making a contribution, both personally and financially, to disaster relief and to the ongoing task of rebuilding communities and restoring confidence. In buying this book you are making a contribution to both AIDfund and AIDfund for America. AIDfund, established by Reuters Foundation, provides immediate funding to help charities and relief organizations around the globe respond rapidly in times of disaster. AIDfund for America responds specifically to the human loss and suffering in the United States following the events of September 11. All donations to both charities go to disaster relief; nothing is spent on administration. About The Pearson September 11 Children's Fund The Pearson September 11 Children's Fund was founded to support those affected by the September 11th tragedy. Both Pearson and its employees have donated to this fund.  The overwhelming concern has been about children, and the impact on these most innocent of victims. Although it is impossible to say that one group is more important than another, Pearson reaches many children around the world every day, through its publishing and online activities. The fund is supporting three specific areas: 

Emergency workers children  

Education & scholarship Trauma & stressTo date the Pearson September 11th Children's Fund has raised over $1,000,000 for a number of relief charities.

We have also established the Pearson Scholar Memorial Fund at the Borough of Manhatten Community College.  The first students will begin their scholarships in September.

Each photograph is accompanied by a short text, one sentence only in most cases, but the photographs speak for themselves. There is no sensationalism here, just poignant photographs that will have you reaching for the tissues before you even get half way. A moving tribute to all concerned.

The book does not seek to "dramatise" the horrific events of that day. The pictures speak for themselves. This "Testimony" serves to remind us all of a day we will never forget, indeed a day we should all remember. The pictures are clear and pay tribute to the work of those who tried to rescue and save, rather than simply documenting explosions. The book's feel and quality are very good.

The photographers seem to have captured so many people's trauma, but in a very respectful manner. I was on holiday in New York visiting my sister, brother in law and nephew when it all happened and we spent days watching everything live on TV. This book means I will never forget what so many people suffered that day. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
