In extraordinary, life-affirming photos taken
around the world—from developing villages to urban centers—over the last
40 years, a photographer makes the bold case that what unites us is
more powerful than the borders that divide us.

Hailed
as “photography's new conscience,” photographer and psychiatrist Dr.
Glenn Losack has spent a lifetime traveling the world, determined to
extend healing, hope, and compassion. With a camera in hand, he goes
places that tourists rarely visit, including slums, alleys, and dark
streets. He's seen struggle, but he's also seen our shared humanity:
families playing together, laborers working, the devout praying to their
gods. Dr. Losack has found resilience, joy, passion, and celebration in
communities the world over, even in places plagued with corrupt
government, poor infrastructure, and disease.
The 240 captivating photos in The Bonds We Share,
taken in India, the Dominican Republic, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Morocco,
Peru, Tunisia, Sri Lanka, Egypt, the United States, Eastern Europe, and
elsewhere, serve as a remarkable retrospective of Dr. Losack's work and
reveal an essential truth: we may come from very different cultures,
far-ranging geographic corners, belief systems, and economic
circumstances, but we all share the same desire to work hard, raise
families, and lead fulfilling lives. In this spectacular volume, Dr.
Losack interrogates timely notions of difference and portrays the
commonality of people from different cultures around the globe.
