	One Nation: America Remembers September 11, 2001 A powerful, beautifully illustrated remembrance of the terrible morning of September 11, 2001 and the amazing courage, strength and patriotism that followed from the award-winning editors and photographers of Life Magazine.

This is about leaders taking charge, but it is also about schoolchildren in Iowa hanging an American flag on a tree in their backyar...
	Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: A Photographer's Chronicle of the Iraq War Arriving in Iraq on the eve of the U.S. invasion, unaffiliated with any newspaper and hoping to pick up assignments along the way, Ashley Gilbertson was one of the first photojournalists to cover the disintegration of America’s military triumph as looting and score settling convulsed Iraqi cities.

Webb began photographing Istan...

	Workers: An Archaeology of the Industrial Age More than those of any other living photographer, Sebastião Salgado's images of the world's poor stand in tribute to the human condition. His transforming photographs bestow dignity on the most isolated and neglected, from famine-stricken refugees in the Sahel to the indigenous peoples of South America.
