Más información sobre el libro
In this glorious book of photographs, you will not find any pictures of anorexic teenage models or sulking grunge rockers, no one-hit wonders or "flavors of the day." What you will find is a gallery of fascinating, compelling personalities--mature men and women who have literally shaped our era and measurably improved the quality of our lives. Compiled by photographer Yousuf Karsh (something of a legend himself), this book captures the essence of nearly 75 remarkable North Americans who have distinguished themselves in a wide variety of fields. Filled with unforgettable images of choreographer Judith Jamison, scientist Jonas Salk, humanitarian Mother Hale, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, puppeteer Jim Henson, golfer Arnold Palmer, and other "over-achievers," this photographic collection celebrates the triumph of genuine accomplishment over the cult of personality. 9 3/4" x 12 1/4". Color & b&w photos.
