Solnit, Rebecca
River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West
Harmondsworth Penguin Books 2004 0142004103 / 9780142004104 3rd printing Trade Paperback Very Good
305 pp., illus., biblio., index; 22 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award. "The world as we know it today began in California in the late 1800s, and Eadweard Muybridge had a lot to do with it. This striking assertion is at the heart of Rebecca Solnit's new book, which weaves together biography, history, and fascinating insights into art and technology to create a boldly original portrait of America on the threshold of modernity. The story of Muybridge - who in 1872 succeeded in capturing high-speed motion photographically - becomes a lens for a larger story about the acceleration and industrialization of everyday life. Solnit shows how the peculiar freedoms and opportunities of post-Civil War California led directly to the two industries - Hollywood and Silicon Valley - that have most powerfully defined contemporary society. / Rebecca Solnit is the author of numerous books, including Hope in the Dark, River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West, Wanderlust: A History of Walking, and As Eve Said to the Serpent: On Landscape, Gender, and Art, which was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism. In 2003, she received the prestigious Lannan Literary Award." - Publisher.
