(3) YA Photographs by John Whalen. This artfully executed book pairs over two dozen color photos of current American culture with quotes from early explorers and missionaries describing "primitive" cultures. Because the pairings are so deft (Marco Polo's comment about thirteenth-century astrologers faces a photo of tabloid "predictions"), the quotes' ironic relevance will inspire amusement and awe rather than cynicism.
