TIME The Year in Review 2016: Trump, Clinton and Election '16 - Cops and Communities - Rio Olympics - Hurricane Matthew - Beyonce's Year
by The Editors of TIMEAmerica's house was divided in 2016, as the nation took sides in a presidential contest that featured two highly controversial candidates, even as divisions between police and African-American communities continued to fester. It was a year of separations: Britons voted to leave the European Union, refugees continued to flee war-torn Syria for western Europe, and a host of familiar faces left the stage, from legendary boxer Muhammad Ali and regal golfer Arnold Palmer to widely beloved pop stars Prince and David Bowie. But there were thrills as well, from such heroes of the Rio Summer Games as Michael Phelps, Simone Biles and Usain Bolt, while carpool karaoke, Pokemon Go and a mom in a Chewbacca mask kept Americans smiling. Now the TIME Year in Review collects all the heartbreak and joy, all the year's best photographs and all the planet's most fascinating people in a richly illustrated book that will serve as a lasting testament to a most memorable year.

There were triumphs and joy as well-the Houston Astros won their first World Series in emotional style, and the nation gathered to witness the first total solar eclipse in decades. Undoubtedly, it was the year of the woman, with the historic Women's March in Washington, the #metoo movement and the ascendance of a new superhero: Gal Gadot's historic star turn as Wonder Woman. We also profile the people who helped shape the news, including John Kelly, Steve Bannon, Travis Kalanick, Sloane Stephens and more. The year in arts and sports are covered, with the best from screen, stage and the page. Plus: a section chronicling notable lives we lost in 2017, including Tom Petty, David Rockefeller, Mary Tyler Moore, Jimmy Breslin, Hugh Hefner and more.
