Product Description
More than 350 photographs by Mathew Brady and his corps of cameramen, many of them never seen before, make this the most comprehensive collection of Civil War images ever published.

Mathew Brady is arguably the most widely hailed documentarian of America’s bloodiest conflict: the Civil War. He and his cameramen created an indelible record of bravery, suffering, and sacrifice. Exhibitions of Brady’s photographs helped to introduce Americans to the brutal realities of war, and he was a pioneer in the field of photojournalism by providing his battlefield scenes and portrait photographs to Harper’s and other weekly publications of the time for use as woodcuts.

Arranged by battle site and event, each of which is introduced by a brief explanatory essay, the volume offers carefully researched archival information about each image and its photographer. Photographs by Alexander Gardner, Timothy O’Sullivan, and James Gibson are among those included in this thoroughly documented collection.

Caption material includes Library of Congress digital order numbers; order numbers are also given for images from the National Archives. This information helps to make the volume a valuable resource for anyone interested in Civil War history or nineteenth-century photography. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Civil War Buff
This is a great book of the U.S. Civil War! The pictures are crisp and clear. It is like stepping back in time, and seeing how the fighting men lived and died during our Nation's Civil War.

5-0 out of 5 stars Am,azing book
This book is just wonderful. Not only beacuse of the photography, but also because of the historical nature of some of these images. I can't recomend it
enough.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Nice Pictorial History of the War.
Mathew Brady was called Lincoln's Camera Man, but this photo album is filled with photos from a battery of photographers.It is a nice history in pictures of that time, whoever took them.

These pictures show the devastation of the War.For some reason, though, more of them show dead Confederates.It depicts the war clearly showing some of the multitude killed at Antietam, Gettysburg, the ruins at Harper's Ferry (all places I took my sons to explore a while back).Lincoln is shown at Antietam after the 'bloodiest battle of the Civil War' in October, 1862.Gettysburg, where too many from the South died, occurred in July, 1863.

The pontoon bridges were unusual and clever.The horse and carriages and wagon trains showed how drastically things have changed.Seeing a real ironclad was interesting.

This is a short course in the Civil War for those who want to know what happened; they can see the aspects from a Northerner point of view, as they ravished the South and left parts of it looking like bombed out London or Germany.

5-0 out of 5 stars A 'Must Have' book for every Civil War library
What an valuable tome, Surley one of the most impressive collections of Civil War images ever collected. The introductions to the twenty-one sections are very helpful for appreciating the 400+ haunting Brady photos. I especially enjoyed the Federal Navy section, with photos I had never seen before, although I've read and edited several publications about the Civil War. Included also is a very practical guide to acquiring copies of the photos. In has been ten years since the prolific George Sullivanpresented his biography of Mathew Brady. It was worth the wait as we have here an award-winning work that should be in teh history section of every private and public library. Not one of the 450 pages is disappointing. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars The chapter "Don't Move A Muscle" said it "all" for me!!!
In 2002, a couple of weeks before Dad died at eighty years of age (he was in the throes of Parkinson's disease), he was in the living room, sitting immobile and wasinsistent we be quiet. as he believed a Mr. Brady was taking his picture for posterity. Mr. Brady was angry, he didn't want my father to move andBrady wanted us to be quiet.Brady, reportedly,was furious with the noise level,whenI was trying to find out from the only other person in the house -- my mother -- if there was a BRADY photography studio on Staten Island (New York) where my parents originally were born and lived for a majority of their lives (nor, nowhere else we resided, for that matter.)After 2 1/2 hours, I had quite enough, as I was angry because I really thought the medications were doing this to my father. I kept searching for a Brady studios in the telephone books, as well as the Internet. Two days after Dad died, all of a sudden I realized: Brady... Mathew Brady. "But attempting to hold a pose for so long a time could result in a blank stare. To avoid that, the sitter might be instructed to gaze at some distant object, instead of looking directly into the camera lens. Photographic Art Journal, in 1851, advised subjects to think serious or pleasing thoughts, depending on which ever expression they desired..."
"...the sitter's head and the rod behind the sitter's body, they could not be seen in the photograph... When all was in readiness and the camera focused, the plate was inserted in the back of the camera. 'Don't move a muscle!' the sitter was told. 'Don't even breathe!'
The operator then removed the cap from the camera's lens. The subject strained to remain as still as a statue. No one even spoke. After the required exposure time, the lens cap was replaced and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The plate was removed from the camera, then developed and mounted. At some studios the process was completed in fifteen minutes to half an hour..." [Page 18].
(Do take a look pages 16-20 which is like what occured in our living room.)
So this book about Mathew Brady was helpful far beyond its original intention.A very interesting book, about a very intriguing photographer! ... Read more

Product Description
PREFACE THE two main objects of Uris work have been to develop the principles of projective geometry -without making use of the theory of distance, and to give a satisfactory discussion of complex elements of space, up to three dimensions. No attempt has been made to start with the smallest sufficient number of indefinable terms and primitive propositions; there arc ten primitive propositions, involving quite a large number of indefmables (besides point, plan~, line, the indefinable entities) I and these propositions have been chosen because they seem to be obvious to the ordinary intuition, and fall into five correlative pairs. Thus the principJe of duality appears at the outset, and is emphasized more and more as we proceed. The proof of the fundamental theorem (after that of LUroth and Zeuthen) involves the notion of a converging sequence of points, as well as that of order: so it is by no means the most rigorous that could be given, but I believe it is as near t

This is the second Physics workbook by George Mathews that I have used in my Physics courses at the Ohio State University. This book, and the Socratic Physics book, are really effective at bringing difficult and complicated concepts down to a level that is easily grasped by the college or even high school student.I recommend that students of physics use this as a tool for much greater understanding and targeting learning.This is a really outstanding tool...and I recommend it for all students of physics. ...
