Anderson W. Young America: A Pictorial Celebration

Continuum, 1990. — 148 p.This book of pictures serves many purposes. It presents a comprehensive image of American life today, depicting the people of the United Stales at home, at work and at play. It shows the many varied ways in which today's generation engages in that most basic of human enterprises, the pursuit ol happiness.On the purely technical side, these pictures—taken by the winners of the Parade magazine - Eastman Kodak Company National Photo Contest — demonstrate the sophistication and subtlety with which ordinary Americans have learned to use a camera. For the most part, the beautiful photos in this hook are the work not of seasoned professionals but of avid amateurs—people who took pictures of their families, their friends, their neighbors, the world about them not for gain but for the fun of it.
