Rezensionen

'This is a book designed for twenty-first-century students, one that will prepare them to ask well- informed, timely questions about the medium's histories and historiography.'

--Tanya Sheehan, William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Art, Colby College, USA

'This book is a most useful contribution to the study of photography, with many excellent contributions. Chapters are much more substantial than is usual with works of this type, allowing authors to explore their topics in some depth and explore a range of approaches. Pasternak has done a wonderful job.'

--Steve Edwards, Professor of History and Theory of Photography, Co-Director of the History and Theory of Photography Research Centre, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
