Each volume is a fresh presentation of one of our world-famous photography books. Our first volume, \u003ci\u003eWork,\u003c\/i\u003e showcases this most universal human pastime through images culled from National Geographic’s vast photographic archive as well as other important collections. This fascinating, wide-ranging volume presents a wonderfully varied group portrait of people at work—in great cities and tiny villages; in 19th-century China and 21st-century New York; in fields, factories, food carts, four-star restaurants, and just about everywhere else we earn our keep. Here are cowboys and clowns, shepherds and shopkeepers, street musicians and artists’ models all plying their assorted trades; on one page a professional quarterback fires off a pass as the crowd cheers him on, on the next a lone fisherman casts his net in the silent solitude of a Pacific lagoon, and on the next a nomadic tribesman erects a yurt on the Mongolian plain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the glamour of a Parisian fashion show to the grit of an African diamond mine, there are countless ways to make a living. \u003ci\u003eWork\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates scores of them offering revealing glimpses into various eras and cultures and engaging the reader with entertaining text and informative captions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a wonderful mix of the utterly unexpected and the instantly familiar, this vivid panorama takes an essential human activity and shows us myriad ways in which work is at once universal and delightfully, unforgettably unique.\"...the vivid images showcase the grit and glory of the grind.\" —\u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003eFerdinand Protzman is an award-winning writer, culture critic, and contributing editor to \u003ci\u003eArt News\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
