I found this book at a jumble sale last weekend, after seeing the title on the spine and remarking "its a pretty thin book, considoring it's subject matter". I had a quick flick through, and decided that actually it was quite nice (despite the creepy picture on the front) and definately worth the 10p asking price. Once home I was able to study the book in more detail. It's basically one of those ones full of sort of inspirational and philosophical messages on how the world is or should be and how you should live your life and all that. The images within follow a similar theme, but amongst the black and white images of babies with old people (circle of life?) I have found some really wonderful photographs. Sadly google images couldn't find some of my very favourites (maybe Ill scan them later), but here are some of them.
Harold Feinstein, Georgina and Rodin.
Elliot Erwitt, Art Students in the Catacombs of Mexico.
Josef Koudelka, Costumed Student on His Way to a Festival, Olomouc, Czechislovakia
Donna Ferrato, Death of the Class Gerbil, United Nations School. (This is my favourite).
Alfred Eisenstaedt, Puppet Show, "The Dragon is Slain".
Harry Shunk, Leap into the Void.
