In \u003ci\u003eDeveloping Animals\u003c\/i\u003e, Matthew Brower takes us back to the time when Americans started taking pictures of the animal kingdom, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the moment when photography became a mass medium and wildlife photography an increasingly popular genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeveloping Animals\u003c\/i\u003e compellingly investigates the way photography changed our perception of animals. Brower analyzes how photographers created new ideas about animals as they moved from taking pictures of taxidermic specimens in so-called natural settings to the emergence of practices such as camera hunting, which made it possible to capture images of creatures in the wild.\u003cbr\u003eBy combining approaches in visual cultural studies and the history of photography, \u003ci\u003eDeveloping Animals\u003c\/i\u003e goes further to argue that photography has been essential not only to the understanding of wildlife but also to the conceptual separation of humans and animals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Brower\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816654794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816654796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2011","brand":"Matthew Brower","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059858960639,"sku":"9780816654796","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9f96d8c-9fa3-49f4-89ef-37c9772385f1.jpg?v=1685060734","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/developing-animals-matthew-brower-9780816654796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
