First published in 1998 to mark the occasion of an exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, this beautiful book has been reissued because of popular demand. Arranged in eleven thematic sections, the images capture the sights and smells of streetlife, monuments and pilgrims, creating a comprehensive picture of daily life in India.

Store Description

Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn?t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them.
