This is the most in-complete book on watches!  |
|
The pix are really crap and can u imagine a book on watches mentioning Omega, but not the Speedmaster "Moon"!!! The book only show the automatic. I would suggest u buy yourself a nice CD instead. Do NOT buy this book!

The pictures in this book will haunt your dreams.  |
|
Many years ago, my sister gave me this book. Its the best gift she ever gave me. Through pictures, life is shown at both its best and worst. We follow generations through love, marriage, war, birth, death and all else in between. Occasionally, there are brief, starkly related quotations. Ive been drawn back to this book so many times that I feel all of those pictured are my personal friends.

The Family of Man is more of an experience than a book. |
|
When I was a child, I stumbled on this book, The Family of Man. I read it cover to cover. I wondered at the pictures of human interaction I barely understood, such as men and women falling in love. I smiled at the photographs that I recognized myself in; children playing and laughing, even fighting. I grew angry when I saw a girl who looked a lot like me fighting back against a bully that looked remarkably like a boy I had to contend with at school. I cried at the pictures that frightened or saddened me. The first time I saw the picture of the SS soldier making eye contact with the child who was marching with her parents and neighbors to the Nazi death camps, I didnt know the history it was depicting. I was later to learn my own relatives were part of that dark history. The picture made me uneasy. I came back to the book year after year. Each time understanding it more. Each time I brought more life experience to the book, I got more from it. But right from the first I got its powerful message: we are all part of one family ...the human family. It probably was the book with the most profound influence on my life. I am happily surprised that they are reissuing it and I can now give my children a copy that isnt falling apart from 40 years of being loved too much.
