Decade; Photographic Record of the First Ten Years of the 21st Century

Decade provides an extraordinary insight into our recent history ­– dramatic, nostalgic, intimate and educational by turns. Arranged in chronological order, 500 beautiful, engaging and often startling photographic images depict the people and events, both famous and unknown, that have shaped our history since 2000. Accompanied and contextualized by extended historical captions and 15 essays exploring the events, trends and social phenomena that have characterized the decade, these images tell the story of the last 10 remarkable years.
