Womenrsquo;s Camera Work explores how photographs have been and are used to construct versions of history and examines how photographic representations of otherness often tell stories about the self. In the process; Judith Fryer Davidov focuses on the lives and work of a particular network of artists linked by time; interaction; influence; and friendshipmdash;one that included Gertrude Kauml;sebier; Imogen Cunningham; Dorothea Lange; and Laura Gilpin.Womenrsquo;s Camera Work ranges from American womenrsquo;s photographic practices during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to a study of landscape photography. Using contemporary cultural studies discourse to critique influential male-centered historiography and the male-dominated art world; Davidov exhibits the work of these women; tells their absorbing stories; and discusses representations of North American Indians; African Americans; Asian Americans; and the migrant poor. Evaluating these photographersrsquo; distinct contributions to constructions of Americanness and otherness; she helps us to discover the power of reading images closely; and to learn to see through these womenrsquo;s eyes.In presenting one of the most important strands of American photography; this richly illustrated book will interest students of American visual culture; womenrsquo;s studies; and general readers alike.

Its an innovative fusion of musical styles with innovative sounds and arrangements. Its melodic and harmonious; without being staid.I find most pop and rock music irritating to listen to. Most classical music gives me narcolepsy. This is consistently pleasant and keeps my attention.People say pop/classical crossover -- but I would say that Josh is more like a new music/pop crossover. There are always some unexpected intervals and chords that break the classical trance that puts me to sleep.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I love itBy Makayla BratzI was so happy to receive this book. Its price was good; the amount of time it took to arrive was good; and it was in excellent condition as was described by the seller. Id recommend this product to anyone who loves listening to Josh Groban; and finds more enjoyment in playing the melody with easy piano version rather than just harmony with the more difficult piano; vocal; guitar book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
