Books by Juliet Hacking

Offers an overview of photography, placing it in the context of the social and cultural developments that have taken place globally since its arrival. This title traces the rapid evolution of photographic style, period by period and movement by movement.

Traces man's gradual realisation of the potential of plants for medicinal, nutritional, flavouring and decorative purposes from the ancient and classical worlds, through to the Renaissance and the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This work is illustrated with engraved, lithographed and hand-coloured botanical illustrations.

While certain photographs have become world-famous images indelibly printed on the cultural consciousness, the stories on the other side of the lens have been all too often distorted, obfuscated or overlooked. This book focuses on the lives and backgrounds of nearly forty great photographers, and also sheds light on their work.
