5.0 out of 5 stars A deep look at the world now, in the future Sep 29 2008
By K. Econome - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book after having seen the exhibit, The places we live, at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo last summer. The exhibit was so moving that I decided to buy this book in hopes that it would remind me about how others in the world live. This book does a good job of bringing the exhibit to your home. The pictures and peoples' excerpts are stirring. Though the photographer, Jonas Bendiksen, has photographed to bring the world to the people in the name of art, be ready to be moved by what and how he's chosen to photograph.

4.0 out of 5 stars heartbreaking and inspiring Jun 20 2010
By D. Lotempio - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Places We Live is a fascinating and rewarding photo collection. The format is intriguing; each residence is given a four-page spread so the reader can fully capture the environment. I felt the photos contained an incredible honesty at capturing the pride and the pain of these homes. The vignettes between photos only add to the value of the experience. Wonderful stuff.

Powerful storytelling! Each story and fold out panoramic picture invites you into a world you can hardly believe exists, and one that is impossible to forget.
