Summary:

This is quite a big book (12.5x12.5"), affording generous-sized presentation of the photographic portraits of roughly 50 prominent people--famous for their work in the realms of the arts, media, politics, science, religion, and business--all of whom are over 65 years old. Each is shown in a couple of full-page close-up photos along with text on facing pages in which they articulate thoughts and feelings about life, work, and the world. Among the featured elders: Madeline Albright, Buzz Aldrin, Billie Jean King, Henry Kissinger, Willie Nelson, Yoko Ono, Ravi Shankar, and Andrew Wyeth, among many others. Photographer Zuckerman and writer/producer Vlack work frequently as a team to create books, films, and online content. Purchasers of this volume receive a code that gives access to a film version of the contents. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
