Author Gloria S. McDarrah
Published by Schirmer Reference

The Photography Encyclopedia brings the art, science and business of photography together in a comprehensive and accessible overview. It features biographical entries, explanations of key terms, and sections on Awards, Galleries and Museums, Magazines, Book Sellers, Manufacturers, Films, Book Reviews, and a Timeline. Beyond providing a solid historical grounding in photography, this book is designed to help readers in their own photographic efforts, from finding a nearby gallery to buying equipment, from taking pictures, to entering a national photography contest.

Review:
