An outstanding book - buy it!!,
By A reader in north London (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: iWITNESS (Hardcover)
This is an outstanding documentation of humanitarian crises by one of the world's best photojournalists. Stoddart's photos are truly moving - yet never sensational. Rather they reveal to us the quiet dignity of the human spirit in some of the most atrocious situations possible, famine, floods, ethnic cleansing, war, earthquakes etc. In all of his pictures it is the human spirit which shines through. It's impossible to look at these pictures passively, and difficult at times not to be moved to tears.
This book is a call for us to heighten our awareness of what's happening in the world today, away from cosy armchairs and the madness of, and obsession with 'celebrity culture', to shake off our 'compassion fatigue' and take action while we still have some consciousness to prevent and alleviate such suffering. How can we live in the same world as these pictures and not want to do something to improve our common human journey? Buy it as soon as you can, and share it! |
