Material World: A Global Family Portrait by Peter Menzel

4.0

Well, this book consumed my Sunday, and I feel that I've taken a quick tour of the average family in 20 countries. The content via photograph was amazing, but I felt that there wasn't enough explanation. I'd have preferred a documentary, I suppose, as I didn't feel that was able to learn enough from the pictures. Perhaps I didn't dedicate enough time to each photograph, but I ended up with way more questions than answers.


I think my son will enjoy this, but the text is too difficult for him. He's the type that enjoys examining every detail in a photograph/picture, so I think this will be the perfect match for him anyway.
