River of shadows : Eadweard Muybridge and the technological Wild West

by Rebecca Solnit

This study examines Eadweard Muybridge's 1872 development of high-speed motion photography and its role in the industrialisation of time and space. It analyses how late nineteenth-century technological shifts in California contributed to the emergence of the modern world.
