Description: "A brilliant analysis of the profound changes photographic images have made in our way of looking at the world and at ourselves over the last 140 years." -- Washington Post Book World "Every page of On Photography raises important and exciting questions about its subject and raises them in the best way." -- The New York Times Book Review "A book of great importance and originality . . . All future discussion or analysis of the role of photography in the affluent mass-media societies are now bound to begin with her book." -- John Berger "Not many photographs are worth a thousand of [Susan Sontag's] words." -- Robert Hughes, Time "After Sontag, photography must be written about not only as a force in the arts, but as one that is increasingly powerful in the nature and destiny of our global society." -- Newsweek " On Photography is to my mind the most original and illuminating study of the subject." -- Calvin Trillin, The New Yorker
