Work: the World in Photographs. A Review Work: the World in Photographs / Ferdinand Protzman (National Geographic, 2006) Hardcover, 192 p. ISBN 9780792262046As the title indicates, Work: the World in Photographs documents work from all over the world. Not only that, the 190 photographs span considerably more than a century, from the beginning of photography into the twenty-first century. The need to work is universal. The kinds of work people do vary greatly, especially from society to society and over such a long span of time.Remember the saying, "I love work. I could watch it for hours!" Work: the World in Photographs shows men, women, and children going about their daily routines, working at whatever it was they did: office work, construction work, farming, diamond mining, shining shoes, tanning leather, snake charming, even begging. Some jobs no longer exist, while others are so recent many readers may not know about them. The scenes vary considerably, too: office cube farms, city streets, out in the rain, in a desert, even men on stilts in a body of water.Some pictures are in black and white, but most are in color, taken by some eighty professional photographers, most...more

It comes jam-packed with features including Breville's "Element IQ" which I will explain later in this review.

It's also a safety feature as it will shut the oven off when the food is done cooking. A neat trick that the oven knows is that it...more
