Reviews
Because of its clarity of expression and rich wisdom it is still the one indispensable handbook in the field., . . . directed at professional and student anthropologists, the book would be just as valuable to most social scientists. After reading this book it is unlikely that anyone would ever take a picture--or look at one--in the same way again. Highly recommended., . . . a comprehensive study which is both readable . . . and insightful, and which will interest any who utilize photography or anthropology as research tools.
