Work is one of the most fundamental human experiences: a practical necessity for most of us, a source of satisfaction for many, and a key indicator of personal identity and social status in cultures all over the world and throughout history. In this fascinating, lavishly visual volume, National Geopgraphic explores the globe and selects some of the finest images of men, women, and children at work to be captured in 150 years of the photographer's art.

More than two hundred compelling images in black-and-white and full-color, spanning more than 150 years of photographic history, offer a panoramic visual study of people at work around the world, in fields, factories, restaurants, city streets, at sea, and more, from a tiny nineteenth-century Chinese village to twenty-first-century New York.
