SOLNIT REBECCA RIVER OF SHADOWS

In 1872  Eadward Muybridge - a British photographer  who had landed in California during the
Gold Rush - captured images of high-speed movement. These photographs would go on to lay the
foundations for motion pictures  changing the west coast of America  and the world  forever.
River of Shadows is both a bold and original biography of a true pioneer - his trailblazing
work  and his complicated life - and a portrait of America on the threshold of modernity.
Drawing lines from Muybridge's invention to Hollywood and Silicon Valley  Rebecca Solnit
explores how this remarkable breakthrough has shaped the world today.
