Digital Photography/Other - History
A World History of Photography
by Naomi Rosenblum 
 REVIEW:
From Publisher
A World History of Photography encompasses the entire
range of the medium, from the camera lucida to the latest computer
technology, and from Europe and the Americas to the Far East. It
investigates all aspects of photography - aesthetic, documentary,
commercial, and technical - while placing it in historical context.
Included among the more than 800 photographs by men and women are
both little-known and celebrated masterpieces, arranged in stimulating
juxtapositions that illuminate their visual power. Dr. Rosenblum's
chronicle of photography is authoritative and unbiased, tracing
both chronologically and thematically the evolution of this young
art. Exploring the diverse roles that photography has played in
the communication of ideas, Dr. Rosenblum devotes special attention
to topics such as portraiture, documentation, advertising, and photojournalism,
and to the camera as a medium of personal artistic expression. Profiles
are provided of individual photographers who made notable contributions
to the medium or epitomized a certain style.
