Book Reviews of Material World: A Global Family Portrait
Book Review: Fascinating Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fascinating look at how people all over the world live. My children have enjoyed thumbing through it, & our realtor gives it out as gifts to his clients! A unique project indeed.Book Review: Outdated but valuable
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was created from pictures taken in the early 90's, so it is s bit dated, especially in the more developed nations. Things like computers and other tech is obviously missing. I know that many destitute Africans now even have cell phones, not shown here. Otherwise, this is a great book and is very educational. After reading it, I got to wondering what my possesions on the street would look like...Book Review: this was an eye opener
Summary: 5 Stars
I thoroughly have enjoyed this book, looking at the people from around the world and their possessions and realizing how different I live from another. It was amazing to see each family so proud, of either how little they have or how much they have, and to have all that they own on display (from in the dead of winter to floating on a boat!). Book Review: A must see!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is absolutely a wake-up call for many people out there who think they don't have enough! Beautifully put together. Outstanding.Book Review: Material World
Summary: 5 Stars
Material World by Peter Menzel is one of the most exciting and informative books I have come across in a long time . No other book I have ever read has given me such in depth knowledge of the lives and circumstances of people living in other countries around the globe. The photographs are breathtakingly beautiful and the statistics are fascinating. Ursula Michelson, author of Alzheimers Patients in the Nursing Home: How Well Do Caregivers Meet Their Needs?
