5.0 out of 5 stars This is the photo album we should cherish for the 21st cent., 2 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Fifty years ago, Edward Steichen put together an exhibit and book called The Family of Man. Now, Uwe Ommer has given us a panorama of families across the time zones, religions, cultures, and continents of the world. We can certainly see differences in detail, but we immediately recognize that these are all families. We see that we are one species, there is one human race, and our closest relationships are immensely precious. That's the power of this book. It is dense with intimacy. My main complaint is that so many of the pictures look like contact prints, too small to savor. But there are plenty of full-page plates and the overwhelming impression is that maybe we are all related, we are all indeed part of each other's family.
