Amazon.com ReviewRichard Stolley knows a bit about what we want from the pictures of our century. He's the LIFE magazine guy who acquired the Zapruder film of JFK being shot (the fatal instant is depicted in this book), and he basically created modern celebrity culture as the founding father of People, where he articulated his famous rules for cover photos: young is better than old, pretty better than ugly, rich better than poor--"and nothing is better than the celebrity dead." All of the above are found abundantly in Stolley and Tony Chiu's lively, cannily selected, and sumptuously produced photo album LIFE: Our Century in Pictures. It's not just a grab bag of 770 arresting, touching, scary, funny, alternately famous and unfamiliar images. It tells a semi-coherent story by breaking up the century into nine "epochs," each introduced with a brief essay by a leading intellectual light (David M. Kennedy, Paul Fussell, and Garry Wills do especially well). There are fun facts aplenty: did you know Columbia Pictures' Lady Liberty-like logo was inspired by a debutante in an anti-Hun propaganda poster Or that Ike almost chose Margaret Chase Smith instead of Nixon Each epoch gets assigned a "Turning Point," sometimes a defining moment or a flashy burst of upbeat cultural documentary to offset the sometimes stark violent-event photos. The World War I section breaks up the black-and-white trench-fighting scenes with a quickie history of the American musical, pages as radiant as a rainbow. Each chapter ends with "Requiem" photos of people whose passing is still news. The layouts are often superb: you have to open the book to see how perfect a Mondrian looks next to a photo of college girls doing patriotic calisthenics that transform them into a similarly energetic grid. There are heftier historic-photo collections, like Bruce Bernard's true test of coffee-table construction, the 1,120-page Century: One Hundred Years of Human Progress, Regression, Suffering, and Hope. But you're not going to find a more popular book of its kind than Stolley and Chiu's. --Tim Appelo Retired Site PBS Programs PBS If you are a teacher searching for educational material please visit PBS LearningMedia for a wide range of free digital resources spanning preschool through 12th grade LIFE Timecom Read the latest stories about LIFE on Time All products and services featured are based solely on editorial selection Historyorg: The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's Historyorg: The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's Official History and Citizenship Website Williamsburg Virginia Terry Dresbach AN 18th CENTURY LIFE Tired of spending days and days on the internet trying to find jewellery we can afford that looks like it is 18th century We are finally going to start making our photopassjapancom - Tokyo and Japan in real-life pictures Travel Tokyo and Japan in Pictures The Japan travel photo guide for visual people So what would you like to see ?
