From the publisher:

Black+White is a compendium of contrasts from mother nature and man-made culture alike. From penguins on ice floes to nuns in habit, Black+White collects hundreds of amazing images of the things that exist at the fringes of the color spectrum. A stylishly designed object and graphic essay in one, Black+White takes you back to the basics, to a world that's too cool for color.
