A good reference book to understand development of photography and how great masters have viewed this art. Of particular interest is how dry plate process and George Eastman's Kodak cameras suddenly made photography so easy and within the grasp of common man, taking it rightfully away from those bent to making it high art. It also documents contribution of people like Edward Curtis and Maybridge in making photography universally accessible.
