What Matters was created by New York Times bestselling author/editor
David Elliot Cohen and published by Sterling Publishing in September 2008. What Matters contains 18 searing, socially conscious photo-essays by the great photojournalists of our generation including Sebastiao Salgado and James Nachtwey. These essays, shot over the course of years, address essential issues of our time.
Each photo-essay is accompanied by a passionate, polemical essay written by well-known experts such as Jeffrey Sachs (The End of Poverty), Samantha Power (Pulitzer Prize winner for A Problem From Hell: America in the Age of Genocide) and Bill McKibben (The End of Nature). What Matters also contains an extensive "What You Can Do" section… so you can help. What Matters is, in effect, a 336-page illustrated letter to the powers-that-be, graphically setting forth 18 crucial yet curable issues that demand our attention now.
