On the cover
For the cover art to accompany "Coping With the Displaced Millions", Milan-based illustrator Alessandro Gottardo, aka Shout, drew a man trapped in a bottle, just at the point where the sea hits land. The artist says he sought to capture the way immigrants and refugees feel as they wait to find out if their move was for better or worse—a feeling of uncertainty, anxiety, and restlessness. Shout's clients include GQ, The New York Times, The Washington Post, AARP, and others.
