A great picture book.

Much more than a book of pictures, 100 Days in Photographs is a compelling visual journey through our Aegean odyssey that’s personal and universal, immediate and timeless. To create it, Getty Images and National Geographic identified 100 days that represent defining moments of the past 150 years… and crystallized them with photographs that leap from the page to evoke joy and anger, triumph and despair. Supporting the visuals are first hand journal excerpts, photographers’ on-site notes, and insightful text by photography historian Nick Yapp. From the Getty Images archive, astonishing images depict major world events: revolution in 19th-century Europe, President Lincoln’s assassination, the Eiffel Tower’s construction from 1887 to 1889, Bleriot flies the English Channel in 1909, the Wall Street crash of 1929, Germany’s Kristallnacht, the British quit India in 1947, and more. National Geographic’s contributions illustrate scientific, cultural, and geographical topics including the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Jane Goodall’s study of chimpanzees, Chernobyl’s nuclear disaster, the cloning of sheep, the attacks of September 11, 2001, and today’s global warming debate. Page after eye-catching page reveals the emotion of an entire event or age captured in a single image whether of a peasant’s tears, of world leaders sharing a secret, or the triumph of an Olympic champion. Politics, war, crime, technology, achievement, fads, and fashion all figure into the life and legacy of these 100 days. Featuring scores of rare and unpublished photographs uncovered during its creation, this remarkable book provides new perspective on key events and personalities of the past 150 years.

Review: The book is beautiful and full of colour photos! I got it as a gift for a dear friend and it was in perfect condition. I would order from this company again in a heartbeat! They made sure my order was expedited properly and that my product was in ‘new’ condition.
