Face Time

'What a piece of work is man.' -From Hamlet (II, ii, 115-117)

Shakespeare's words about mankind's potential take on new meaning in the pages of this compelling, fascinating work by photojournalist Patrick De Wilde. In Face Time, De Wilde presents provocative portraits of indigenous peoples of five continents, offering an insightful exploration of cultural overlap.

Striking images are accompanied by quotations from philosophers and writers-including Carl Sagan, Albert Jacquard, Edgar Morin, James L. Peacock, Jared Diamond, and more-on what it means to be human. A book that ultimately repositions every human being in the context of a great whole, Face Time helps us to recognize simultaneously the unity of humanity and the power of individuals.
