Winner of the Charles C. Eldredge Prize

In this book, Alan Trachtenberg reinterprets some of America's most significant photographs, presenting them not as static images but rather as rich cultural texts suffused with meaning and historical content. Reading American Photographs is lavishly illustrated with the work of such luminaries as Mathew Brady, Timothy O'Sullivan, and Walker Evans--pictures that document the American experience from 1839 to 1938. In an outstanding analysis, Trachtenberg eloquently articulates how the art of photography has both followed and shaped the course of American history, and how images captured decades ago provocatively illuminate the present.

This book has changed the direction of my life
Format: Paperback
If you are struggling with relationships in the work place this is the book for you. Whether your Christian or not the book will change your life. Danny’s influence or teaching clearly stream through the book. Carla re-explains, gives her insights, and in a beautiful creative way gives vulnerable examples of navigating conflict. Not only guidance on how to fiercely protect a healthy culture but an honest, relatable look into her own journey. What a pearl. This helped me to sit in a “team meeting” and speak out on issues despite the discomfort I feel. I have a vision and use the truths and tools learned in the book to keep me on the path to the vision. I understand it’s a daily walk with Love and connection being the primary goal.
