Trade Review
'This is a book of powerful originality, offering a glimpse of what biography can be in the right hands' Daily Telegraph 'Muybridge's story, which Solnit tells with flair and feeling, is extraordinary in itself, yet it is also the story of the growth of an industry, and the way it went on to change the fortunes of Southern California' Sunday Times 'A history lesson recounted with wit and passion, it weaves together a remarkable story of an individual and an age in which the appliance of science would change the way we lived forever' Glasgow Herald 'Combines biography, cultural history and cinematography in a refreshing, well-written and absorbing bouillabaisse of a book' Independent
