What Matters: Issues of Our Time

First to recommend

Description

What Matters is a large format 'coffee table' book of epic proportions. What makes this book special is the breadth of topics they cover in filling their mission of depicting the biggest issues of our time in photographs. We're talking everything from genocide in darfur, female prostitution in the east, funerals for fallen soldiers in the US, global poverty, global over-consumption...etc. This book is a great way to get thinking about important things by having vivid imagery jerk you out of your 9-5 lull.
