I skimmed through these three books on photography and recommend them to anyone one who wants to get a big picture look at the history of photography and contemporary directions in photography.They are: Icons of Photography: The 20th Century (Prestel), Photo:Box by Roberto Koch (Abrams)and The Digital Eye...Photographic art in the Electronic Age by Sylvia Wolf (Prestel). It's great going back to them from time to time to refer to a particular photographer or image. Each time I look at them, it's like I'm leafing through the book for the first time. However, that's probably more a reflection of my memory!
