This book includes: images of joy, and of sorrow, of new beginnings, and of heartbreaking losses - photographs that grip us, move us, and do anything but leave us cold; masterpieces of photojournalism - images that garnered Pulitzer Prizes and World Press Awards, and have become milestones in the collective memory of nations and the world; images by the great names in photojournalism featured next to stellar one-time performances and anonymous shots, all of which have evolved into icons; photography without borders: images from Europe and North and South America, as well as from Africa and Asia; and each photograph is discussed in a clear, concise accompanying text that explains the image's historic background and overall significance.
