Photos That Changed The World (The Twentieth Century) (2nd Hand Softback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9783791336282
Synopsis
Edited by Peter Stepan.
In lavish two-page spreads, this book presents more than ninety of history's most memorable photographs - from the Wright Brothers' first flight to the bombing of Pearl Harbour, from Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech to Nelson Mandela's release from prison.
The volume features pictures from photography masters such as Lewis Hine, Dorothea Lange, Yousuf Karsh, Diane Arbus and James Nachtwey, as well as iconic images from lesser-known and anonymous photographers.
Now available as an attractively priced flexi edition, Photos That Changed the World has been updated to include indelible images of the most significant recent events.
Engaging essays accompany each photograph and tell the story behind each image.

'The information next to the photos is both thought provoking & informative. Plus it’s high quality paper & would make a great gift for someone with an interest in photography &/or history.'
'This book is compelling in linking the best photography to real life, both joyful and tragic. A very emotional book by the best photographers.' - Amazon Reviews.
