This collection of 100 stark pieces of Lange's work captures the lives of the hard-pressed from dustbowl farmers right out of The Grapes of Wrath to photos of Ireland and Egypt. The text also incorporates an essay by Harvard psychiatrist and social investigator Coles. Many of the photos are accompanied by excerpts from Lange's writings (LJ 12/1/82).
