Photography
A picture tells a thousand stories, but the one it doesn't  tell is how the shot was made. Barbara London and John Upton'sPhotographyis an all-inclusive look at the craft of  photography. This book will help any amateur move up a few notches,  and it serves as a refresher course for professionals as well. The  sixth edition of this classic work (the first was published in 1976)  includes a companion Web site with interactive activities, Web  resources, and a learning archive. Amply illustrated with at least one  photograph or diagram on almost every page,Photographyis the  one reference work every student of photography must have--even those  who will never set foot in a classroom.--Brenda Pittsley
