The very best photographic books whisk us away from familiar surroundings in search of far-flung places-and none more so than this impressive volume, a retrospective of photographer Thomas Hoepker''s wide-ranging work. Spanning sixty years, Wanderlust is a spectacular showcase for this photojournalist and former president of Magnum Photos. Hoepker''s remarkable success as a global historian has created an unparalleled visual archive, and he chronicles both the planet''s momentous occurrences and th e striking realities of everyday life with equal aplomb. This landmark book allows readers to bear witness to such world-defining events as the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and 9/11 in New York-all of which Hoepker''s evocative images helped etch in our collective consciousness.
