Presents photographic portraits and transcribed responses of 500 men and women who were interviewed on video. This book looks at ways of life both familiar and strange creates an instructive, affecting biography of modern humanity.

The new project from Yann Arthus-Bertrand, author of the multimillion-copy international bestseller "Earth From the Air". The latest project from bestselling photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand, "Six Billion Others" presents the photographic portraits and transcribed responses of 500 men and women, interviewed on video over the last six years. This understated yet compelling look at ways of life both familiar and strange creates an instructive, affecting biography of modern humanity. Inspired by the idea that 'every single person has got something interesting to say and every single person has the right to say it', Arthus-Bertrand created a questionnaire of 40 prompts on universal topics like family, happiness, money and love and dispatched six filmmakers to interview more than 5,000 subjects in 75 countries around the world.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand's many books include the multimillion-copy international bestseller Earth From the Air. Born in Paris in 1947, Arthus-Bertrand moved to Kenya at the age of 30, where he conceived his first book, Lions. He then returned to France and became an aerial photographer. His photographs have been featured in National Geographic, Life and Sierra, among other magazines.
