About the Author
LIFE has long been one of the country's preeminent publishers of books and periodicals, and is renowned for its presentation of photography. The American Spirit, the sixth LIFE book to be published in 2002, carries on this tradition. Many of the world's finest photographers are represented, and several of them have created new essays specifically for this volume. The American Spirit was produced by the same team of editors who in 2001 published One Nation, which spent five months on the New York Times Best Sellers list, reaching #1 in mid-December, and raised funds for the victims' charities.
Partial proceeds from the sale of this book will be contributed to the Twin Towers Fund.
