DESCRIPTION:
We see subjects victim to the elements of nature and the timeless rituals of human life, as much as to the vagaries of the global economic market. Bibliotheca Universalis brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia.Bookworm’s delight — never bore, always excite!Text in English, French, and German. Its efforts focused on improving the lives of sharecroppers, tenants, and very poor landowning farmers, with resettlement and collectivization programs, as well as modernized farming methods. We meet Dorothea Lange’s iconic Migrant Mother, weather-beaten and worn, with two children leaning on her shoulders.What unites all of the pictures is a commitment to the individuality and dignity of each subject, as much as to the witness they bear to this particular period of the American past

Ottman said Poor layout design, a fake Taschen book?. If I'd only read the only review!Landscape photos across two pages, split by the spine just doesn't work!!One picture had a person's face split by the spine, totally took away from the visual experience.VERY uncharacteristic of the publisher!I'm surprise this design got thru the Taschen machine!. "Great images, but confusing text." according to Robert Berryhill. Let me start by saying that photographs in this book are worth 5 stars. The problem with the tome is the text. For some odd reason the text included is in three languages - which wouldn't be a problem in and of itself - but the layout of the text is confusing as hell. This book could have used a much better layout editor to maintain a consistent flow from pictures to the multi-lingual. Kindle Customer said Wonderful book. What a wonder! So many I'd never seen before. Well organized by region.
