Book Reviews of Life
Book Review: All the other books start where this one ends....
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a book for everyone.
It is a book of miracles; everyday miracles; about the biggest miracle of them all;
about the beginning of life.
We have all been there; seen it; experienced it; haven't we?
Do we remember?
Do we?
That is a question for the other books;
all the other books begin where this one ends...
In Lennart Nilsson's magnificient photograpies we are brought back,
back to the beginning of the beginning;
to the very beginning of life...
Can you not own this book?
L. Holm author
Summary of Life
One of photography's watershed moments occurred in 1965, when the cover of Life magazine featured Lennart Nilsson's photograph of a living human embryo-the first time life at such an early stage had been captured on film. His classic bestseller A Child Is Born featured stunning photographs of life in the womb and earned him the sobriquet "The da Vinci of medical photography" (Chicago Tribune). Now, in this major work, Nilsson's extraordinary images encompass a full human lifespan.Using the world's most exacting equipment, Nilsson reveals the interior form of the entire human body and its intricate workings as never seen before, in a book that is as stunning to behold as its contents. Featuring thoughtful essays by both a noted scientist and a renowned editor, LIFE shines a penetrating light on all of life's fundamentals.
