An excellent cultural guide. February 26, 2008

This book is an excellent guide to the culture of photography, examining various significant photographers, mostly 20th century. There could be more actual photographs but the text is intelligently written, making interesting links between various movements and styles. It tends to jump around the timeline a bit but is all the more interesting for that. Overall, a very good, if possibly subjective, view of photographic history which does not become bogged down in academia.

I don't normally go for TV tie-in books but this book is an excellent read, and it makes you think about what photography all about.
The pictures are mainly the same as the TV series but photographs don't come over well on the box, far better to appreciate them reproduced properly and with time to see them properly.
It is a good introduction to many previously little known photographers and I was sorry when I had finished reading it as I would have liked more of the same!
