Description

This collection is a showcase for photographs that should astonish, amaze, delight and amuse, elict compassion and alert us to history. From a panorama spanning from the 1930s to the 1990s, former Life picture editor John Loengard has selected 120 of his favourite images, both colour and black and white, and several stories covered in the past seven years.

Some of the best photographs from "Life" magazine, most of which appeared in "The Best Of Life", with more expanded and personal annotation than the previous collection. The book includes photographs from the later incarnation of "Life" in the 1980's, and as such is a valuable supplement to "The Best Of Life". It is a smaller collection, but one cannot argue with the selection of the photos.
