Book Description
Annals of My Glass House highlights the work of the most famous Victorian woman photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron. Although she did not begin her career until the age of 49, after rearing six children, she produced almost 3,000 photographs from 1864 until her death in 1879. Violet Hamilton's examination of Cameron's photography begins with her first successful recorded work in 1864 and ends in 1874 with her brief autobiography, "Annals of My Glass House", included here. The major thematic categories of her work are considered, including her portraits of prominent Victorians, poetic interpretations of Madonnas and children, and illustrations for Alfred, Lord Tennyson's Idylls of the King. Among Cameron's photographs are intimate studies of her own family and powerful portraits of Victorian artists, writers, and scientists, including historian Thomas Carlyle and astronomer Sir John Herschel.

Book Description
The Pulitzer Prize-winning view of the continent, across the fortieth parallel and down through 4.6 billion years Twenty years ago, when John McPhee began his journeys back and forth across the United States, he planned to describe a cross section of North America at about the fortieth parallel and, in the process, come to an understanding not only of the science but of the style of the geologists he traveled with. The structure of the book never changed, but its breadth caused him to complete it in stages, under the overall title Annals of the Former World. Like the terrain it covers, Annals of the Former World tells a multilayered tale, and the reader may choose one of many paths through it. As clearly and succinctly written as it is profoundly informed, this is our finest popular survey of geology and a masterpiece of modern nonfiction. Annals of the Former World is the winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annals of My Life: 1847-1856 Other reviewers take the same side. For example, the Dean of Salisbury in the Churchinan magazine: 'the admirable English for which Bishop Words worth is so remarkable may claim a place for this volume near the graphic narratives of Hume, Gibbon, &c.' The Banner Bishop Wordsworth's book is full of interesting anecdotes, told in fluent and elegant English.' Also a well-known writer in the Aberdeen Free Press Before turning to the substance of the Annals, we must express our admiration of the style in which they are written. The lover of good English prose will find delight in the Bishop's flowing and rhythmical periods, which seem to have been composed under the inspiration of Coleridge's famous protest (friend, i. I can never so far sacrifice my judgment to the desire of being immediately popular as to cast my sentences in the French mould, or affect a style which an antient critic would have deemed purposely invented for persons troubled with asthma to read, and for those to comprehend who labour under the more pitiable asthma of a short-witted intellect.
