    I was disappointed in this book
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 22, 2014*

I was disappointed in this book. It is obvious that it is one of a series of many books (100 ideas that changed architecture, etc.) and that the editor handed the job to a writer who knows little about photography. To follow the format of the series, the author presented some ideas that radically changed photography, like the Gum Bichromate Process, Roll Film, Halftone process, Polaroid, Kodachrome film, etc.But to fill out the requirement for 100 ideas, the author really scraped the bottom of the barrel for topics, like Backgrounds, Leisure Travel, Sequences, Outskirts, Enclaves, Theoretical turns, the Photographer's Eye (who comes up with this stuff anyway?)Much of it is padded out, like this sentence: "The darkroom, as its name indicates, is a place where light can be excluded so that a photographer can process light-sensitive film as well as prints and enlargements."Finally, the book is riddled with errors. Here are just a few:Page 130 shows a Leica A and identifies it as the first SLR. It was not an SLR. It was, in fact, the first rangefinder camera.Page 174 says that the Polaroid SX-70 produced a damp print that you had to wave in the air to make it dry. This is incorrect. Polaroid SX-70 prints were sealed in a plastic sleeve and completely dry to the touch while they developed. I know. I worked in a camera shop in 1972 and sold many of these cameras.On page 78, she repeats the myth that Alexander Gardner faked civil war photographs. More recent scholarly research indicates that he did not fake them.Other reviewers have picked up on other errors.The book provides a good overview of many of photography's important advancements, but don't expect it to go into much depth. Sadly, many other important advancements have been left out, as other reviewers have noted.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    WOW - this is a great resource
  

*by B***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2014*

As a photography teacher for over 30 years and a new instructor for a 'art appreciation through photography' course, this book is invaluable for summarizing and condensing almost 200 years of information into a volume that is concise, thoughtful and thought provoking.  I am considering making this the textbook for the next course, simply because for a novice it really tells the story of how photography evolved and is still a major influence worldwide.  For a professional, it is a great quick reference.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    succinct
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2013*

i've been a working photographer my entire adult life (since 1980), i fond this to be a wonderful book. it's a really simple book, just list of ideas. but what a list--what an impact--a single medium has on the history of culture.  as a book, it provokes more questions than answers--that'sexactly why i liked it so much.  no matter how much you think you know, there's always more to learn.
