Publisher's Note
Menzel photographed average families in each of 30 nations, posed with their possessions gathered around them. As they depict the meaning of material wealth around the world, these dramatic photos ask a fundamental question: Can all five billion of us have everything we want? "A record of striking value".--Scientific American. 359 color photos.

Industry Reviews
"Peter Menzel has retrieved the human heart of our primal and primate existence: a clustering of kin..and the shelter they gather within. He has done so simply, with an inventory of household objects and panoramic photographs of the kin-groups with their immediate wealth. The result is spectacular, especially with the warm and attentive 'photographer's notes' that accompany each of the thirty households from Uzbekistan to Mali, Samoa to suburban USA...The photo may be simple, but the humor, trust, and persuasion required to set up the shot are awesome."
Whole Earth Review - Peter Warshall

"Striking..it's like seeing 'The Family of Man' in the global village."
Williams
