THE STORY OF LOOKING - MARK COUSINS GEBUNDEN

SHORTLISTED FOR THE SALTIRE SOCIETY NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDLooking can be an act of
empathy or aggression. It can provoke desire or express it. And from the blurry  edgeless world
we inhabit as infants to the landscape of screens we grow into  looking can define us.In The
Story of Looking  filmmaker and writer Mark Cousins takes us on a lightning-bright tour - in
words and images - through how our looking selves develop over the course of a lifetime  and
the ways that looking has changed through the centuries. From great works of art to tourist
photographs  from cityscapes to cinema  through science and protest  propaganda and refusals to
look  the false mirrors and great visionaries of looking  this book illuminates how we
construct as well as receive the things we see.Brilliant and eclectic  The Story of Looking is
a photo album and an art gallery  a road movie and a visual grammar: once you've read it 
you'll never see things the same way again.
