I for Imagine

"A moving photographic journey around the world with images of extraordinary political struggle and ordinary moments of humanity, wonder, and imagination...The book provides dual pleasure--the beauty of the photographs themselves and the resilience they so frequently depict--and how the interplay of image and text can produce a dizzying range of responses." - Publishers Weekly
