About this product

Product Information

In an unprecedented effort, sixteen of the world s foremost photographers traveled to thirty nations around the globe to live for a week with families that were statistically average for that nation. At the end of each visit, photographer and family collaborated on a remarkable portrait of the family members outside their home, surrounded by all of their possessionsa few jars and jugs for some, an explosion of electronic gadgetry for others. Vividly portraying the look and feel of the human condition everywhere on Earth, this internationally acclaimed bestseller puts a human face on the issues of population, environment, social justice, and consumption as it illuminates the crucial question facing our species today: Can all six billion of us have all the things we want?"

Material World*****Super Insight
Material World gives a visual picture and well as a number data to help create a more concrete mental picture of material needs throughout the world. It is great for educating children and adults alike. The focus can be from mathematical to social. This book is well organized with vivid pictures that draw in the reluctant reader. A+++++

This book is so insightful and makes you think about material things in your own life that doesn't add value and should do away with it.

Appreciation tool
This book helps children appreciate what they have (so they will stop whining about what they don't have). Through visually cataloging the possessions of families all over the world, this book not only informs us of how families in other places live but helps us reflect on our own way of life.
