This review is from: World Press Photo 1998 (Paperback)

International competition of photographs to test the most distinguished photos is considered valuable test for many international photographers, pressmen, news, and magazines, participating in the international annual event. A gift to be granted to the body, who mirrors different domains in all over the world.

News photos are quite different from natural or animal ones, that is because the later have significant meaning about this world.

This book represents tens of expressive photos, which honestly picture to us the other side of the world, through news photos about violenc, killing , and natural calamities.

This book presents also the events of the preceding year including violence , killing , home dismissing practices , in addition to exciting sports , technical and scientific events . Moreover it shows the different types of life style of many classes and artists.

We can safely say it looks like afilm about the last year events, in this exciting and rapid changing world , that integrates violence, home extrude , sadness happiness pains and victory joy. I as a matter of fact , consider it as life like drama.
