Description

In the end, perhaps the best measure of a text is whether or not one would choose it from among all the offerings to use in class. I have chosen to use this book." - Photo Review, Spring 2000
. . "An excellent introductory history book." - Afterimage: The Journal of Media Arts and Cultural Criticism.
