What I Eat, Hungry Planet, Material World. Your geography curriculum in three gorgeous books
I’m not exactly sure where I was or what I was doing when I first ran across Peter Menzel’s first book, Material World, A Global Family Portrait. Pretty sure it was some sort of social studies conference years ago and a vendor had some poster size images from Material World. And I was captured.
The images were powerful. The text informative and engaging. The teaching and learning possibilities endless.
It was a simple concept.
Photograph families around the world with all of their stuff, their material stuff, out on their respective “driveways.” Publish the photos and commentary in a large, slick, full color coffee table book format. You can get a sense of the 50+ photo stories at the PBS World in the Balance site. And it’s possible to still actually purchase resources and lesson plans aligned to the content in the book 20 years after Material World was published.
The book was such a success, Menzel went on to create similar books.
In 2007, he published Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. It was similar to Material World in that it was a study of 30 families from around the world, revealing what people eat during the course of one week.

MATERIAL WORLD
By Peter Menzel. Twelve posters show families—in front of their homes, with all of their belongings—in Bhutan, Cuba, Iceland, Japan, Kuwait, Mali, Mexico, Mongolia, Samoa, South Africa, Thailand, and the United States. The curriculum guide helps students “read” each detailed photograph, draw inferences, compare and contrast, and make generalizations about our “material world.” The guide also supplies critical thinking questions and reading strategies. The paperback provides more details about the social and economic conditions of each family, as well as lessons on world cultures, geography, and economics. Aligns with Common Core State Standards. 17″w x 21″h. Social Studies School Service. Third Edition. ©2020.
