The Making of English Photography: Allegories
Since the production of the first negative by William Henry Fox Talbot in Wiltshire's Lacock Abbey in 1835, English photography has played a central role in revolutionizing the production of images, yet it has largely evaded critical attention. The Making of English Photography investigates this new enterprise--and specifically how professional photographers shaped a strange aesthetic for their practice. The Making of English Photography examines the development of English photography as an industrial, commercial, and (most problematically) artistic enterprise. Concentrating on the first decades of photography's history, Edwards tracks the pivotal distinction between art and document as it e...

Breaking Into the Backcountry
Well aware of what could go wrong living two hours from town with no electricity and no neighbors, Edwards was surprised by what could go right. In prose that is by turns lyrical, introspective, and funny, Breaking into the Backcountry is the story of what he discovered: that alone, in a wild place, each day is a challenge and a gift. Whether chronicling the pleasures of a day-long fishing trip, his first encounter with a black bear, a lightning storm and the threat of fire, the beauty of a steelhead, the attacks of 9/11, or a silence so profound that a black-tailed deer chewing grass outside his window could wake him from sleep, Edwards's careful evocation of the river canyon and its effect on him testifies to the enduring power of wilderness to transform a life.
The West Side Kids in a Pocket Full of Wishes
A Pocket Full of Wishes: This book was fun with Scooter and “Pocket!” Who can resist a genie in a bottle and a bit of magic! David Dorris never misses a one liner when he writes, and while I have heard most of them in my 59+ years, I learned a few new ones this time! My favorite was “You left your voice in my ear” said by Scooter to Hannibal. These two characters sure can sling words! Entertaining book, fun to read! Robin Rollins CEO KOEHLER ELECTRIC
