Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

An anthology of 15 essays first published in Camerawork Magazine, a UK magazine devoted to a critical and contextual study of photography. It established itself as a source for challenging hallowed ideas about photography and photography education, and many of its contributors and editors are now regarded as pioneering photography practitioners, artists, theorists and teachers. Introductions place the pieces in historical context.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
