Inhaltsangabe

In "Delta", Daniel Schwartz has made a powerful, yet dispassionate record of these vast, densely populated, intensely cultivated and exploited areas. Though richly endowed by nature, the deltas are becoming less and less able to support their multiplying populations whose survival is becoming increasingly precarious. Floods and droughts, erosion and tidal surges remorselessly destroy what humans have created. These photographs are honest documents showing the reality of life - and death - in some of the most impoverished, yet most resourceful regions of the world. Supporting these poignant and telling images are documents drawn from a wide selection of authoritative sources, throwing light on a region whose potential is now being tapped by its own people. Shaking off a long history of isolation, obscurity and conflict, this is an area whose time has finally come. The images in this volume are statements of reality, direct and unadorned, but they are also a declaration of future hope for the deltas.
