These 100 introduction images come from the book The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work by Alain de Botton, published by Penguin in April 2009.

Alongside the main 650 picture gallery, this edit covers the subjects and chapters covered in the book: Logistics; Accountancy; Electricity; Rocket Science; Biscuits; Tuna Fishing; Aviation; River Business and the unpublished Couture chapter.

This gallery is part of a short series relating to this book, though their titles have in some cases been adapted for this archive. They are viewed here as a showcase but will be released for sale on the 1st April 2009 at Photoshelter and Alamy or exclusively at CORBIS and therefore each file has its own restrictions which can be read within its metadata.

The book pictures are reproduced in black and white but all appear here in colour.
