The photographs of this book document the aspects of our world of which we are less proud. During times where we are advancing phenominally, these problems can not be ignored. The making of this book is one important step to recognizing and addressing these issues. I urge anyone with any hint of social awareness, any hint of compassion, to purchase this book. The profits contribute to worthy fondations which give direct aid and make direct changes in the lives of those who are less fortunate.

From the children of famine in Africa to teen runaways in the streets of our own urban centers, children are suffering in all parts of the world. Lost Futures: Our Forgotten Children is a moving chronicle by photographer/writer Stan Grossfeld--a two-time Pulitzer-prize winner--who has traveled from Los Angeles to India, from Brazil to Thailand, documenting the precarious living conditions facing the children of the world's poor. As this book shows us, there is hope for these children--if we are willing to take action.

Grossfeld has pursued a determined and clear-eyed inquiry into the tragic conditions with which these children struggle daily. An associate Editor at the Globe, Grossfeld photographs and writes with compassion and force. Lost Futures contains fifteen powerful photographic essays, each detailing the harsh realities of these young lives with a report that is brutal yet deeply affecting. Each essay delves into the everyday horrors faced by millions of children. From the often overlooked problems in our own backyards (child abuse, gang warfare, child prostitution, and hunger), to distressing global problems (famine in Africa and India, disease and poverty in Haiti, the AIDS crisis in Romania, child slavery, and the devastating effects of warfare), Grossfeld never lets us forget that the solutions are often simple when implemented.

Lost Futures is more than a troubling investigation into the dehumanizing conditions endured daily by millions of children--Lost Futures is a cry for help and a call to action. Included is the section "Hope for the Future," a directory of organizations and resources engaged in the struggle to right the horrific wrongs Grossfeld has brought to our attention. In the heartfelt Foreword from Muhammad Ali and the ardent message from Mother Teresa we are reminded that we can make a difference.

This important book is essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of today's children and for those interested in committed photojournalism.
