As a Time magazine photographer covering the White House through four presidential administrations, Diana Walker enjoyed incomparable access to the world''s major movers and shakers. Going behind the scenes and photographing her subjects over the course of years, she captured Presidents and their families in wonderfully candid moments and world leaders in the course of momentous events. Walker''s way of engaging people and inspiring their trust results in portraits that are refreshingly spontaneous and opengiving viewers the feeling that they''ve met each subject personally. Many of those portrayed are notables in politics, industry, science, entertainment, and the artsfrom Ronald Reagan to Steve Jobs; from Lillian Gish to Princess Diana and Prince Charles; from Mikhail Gorbachev to Hillary Clinton. Throughout the book, photographer and subjects narrate many of the 200 portraits, reminiscing about the experience and providing background for the moment or event. The result is a delightfully layered story, both visual and verbal, told from multiple points of view. Its wide appeal will capture readers who are interested in great photography, famous figures, and the political and cultural life of our times.

Existe dos formas generalizadas de considerar a la muerte: la primera como el final total al concluir los signos vitales, la segunda como la trascendencia a traves del alma. La supervivencia despues de la muerte es el pensamiento mas comun en el mundo el sustento de la mayoria de las religiones. En las culturas arcaicas la muerte es un evento antinatural que hay que enfrentar con apego a los mitos y rituales. El anima del individuo pasa a formar parte de otro mundo donde adquieres poder agresivo o benefico; el muerto se vuelve temible porque ha sido arrancado de una plenitud vital, a la cual todavia permanece atado. De este modo se establece el vinculo entre le muerto y los sobrevivientes, quienes se sienten obligados a mantener y alimentar con ofrendas, para no exponerse a su violencia destructora. Si se cumple el rito, el difunto se convierte en un antepasado protector de la familia del grupo. De aqui viene el culto a los muertos, a traves de ofrendas y de diferentes tipos de sepulturas, practicas comunes en casi todo el mundo antiguo.
