Material World...
This is a great book and it came in two days - way earlier than we anticipated! Good shape , great product!
Fascinating Book
This is a fascinating look at how people all over the world live. My children have enjoyed thumbing through it, & our realtor gives it out as gifts to his clients! A unique project indeed.
Outdated but valuable
Material World: A Global Family Portrait was created from pictures taken in the early 90's, so it is s bit dated, especially in the more developed nations. Things like computers and other tech is obviously missing. I know that many destitute Africans now even have cell phones, not shown here. Otherwise, this is a great book and is very educational. After reading it, I got to wondering what my possesions on the street would look like...
this was an eye opener
I thoroughly have enjoyed Material World: A Global Family Portrait, looking at the people from around the world and their possessions and realizing how different I live from another. It was amazing to see each family so proud, of either how little they have or how much they have, and to have all that they own on display (from in the dead of winter to floating on a boat!).
A must see!
Material World: A Global Family Portrait is absolutely a wake-up call for many people out there who think they don't have enough! Beautifully put together. Outstanding.
