5.0 out of 5 stars A Unique Photographic Book, September 2, 2003

This review is from: After 9/11 (Hardcover)

This is a beautifully designed book of photographs that reflect the many different ways people have expressed their sorrow of the 9/11 tragedy and their pride as Americans. The photographs are presented in pairs and carefully sequenced. Dr. Lyons provides no captions or comments on the photographs. They speak for themselves if we take time to listen.
