Civilization by William A Ewing

Our world, today, as seen through the lens of contemporary photography.
'Part a Who’s Who handbook for the photographically astute, part documentary of everything.. The 352 pages zing with 500 photographs, many previously unpublished, from 140 leading photographers. A global family photo album, a memory book of personal stories that patchwork to form a rounded impression of humanity' - Wallpaper
'What makes the project so fascinating – and what gives it its depth and breadth – is the multiplicity of international voices, approaches, perspectives and motivations that feature' - Port
'The most ambitious stock-taking of our world since Edward Steichen's 'Family of Man' in the 1950s' - World of Interiors
'An admirable and ambitious undertaking ... a compelling collection of photographs' - Geographical magazine
'Through the work of top photographers, split into themed chapters (hive, flow, control), the editors have created a fascinating, amusing, disturbing picture of the world we have created' - The Times, Photography Books of the Year
