Gr 6 Up-From camera obscura to digital imaging, Wallace examines the evolution of photography. Chapters cover what led to the development of the camera and how this invention was brought about and refined in stages by people who often came up with similar ideas independently. Captioned black-and-white and full-color illustrations, including the earliest known photograph, break up the text. Images by famed photographers such as Eadweard Muybridge and Mathew Brady, as well as Harold Edgerton's falling milk droplet, are included. The importance of these individuals' work and that of others is clearly explained. An illustrated center foldout shows the parts of a camera and how images are recorded. This is a terrific aid to report writers and an engaging read that will click with budding shutterbugs.-Anne Chapman Callaghan, Racine Public Library, WI
