. . . 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 pictureor look at onein 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.
