El libro es maravilloso, pero hay que tener el estómago listo.La edición es prolija y de excelente calidad.

Better photo never published!

The quality of World Press Photos is getting better each year, but the subjects entering and dominating each category is also changing (toward more human-aspects, dailylife and war, less politics) and there is an enormous difference between the WPP from the 19-eighties and I think this edition (2000) is the best ever, even better than 2001. Some professional Danish photographers dominate this Millenium-edition with war-photos from several places on The Balkan so emotional that I've cried over some photographs for the first time ..... the best photobook on my shelf. Looking foreward to see what will enter from this sorrowfull autumn.

World Press Photo - 2000

This compilation of photography, representative of achievements and failures worldwide, is a powerfully moving experience. Thought provoking and raw, this experience is sure to stimulate conversation in areas as diverse as science, politics, and acts of nature. I highly recommend this book as a centerpiece or book case adornment for any home in the world.

Great Work!

This book is a resume about what is really going on in the world.It is must in every household and any person who is up to date and cares about world news. When you read you learn but when you see it,it marks and sticks in your brain.

Photojournalism at its best, quality and content perfect

The wide spectrum of photojournalism in all its beauty and shock combined in one book. From the beautiful nature images to the horror of war of 1998 this book has it all. The quality of the images is astounding. Bravo!
