Eadweard Muybridge.
Best Known For His Contribution To The Development Of The Motion Picture, Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) Was A Pioneering Photographer During His Lifetime. Alongside His Remarkable Photographic Achievements, His Personal Life Was Riddled With Melodrama-including A Near-fatal Stagecoach Accident And A Betrayal By His Wife That Ended With Muybridge Being Tried For The Murder Of Her Lover. Marta Braun's Revealing Biography Traces The Sensational Events Of Muybridge's Life And His Personal Reinventions As Artist, Photographer, Researcher, And Showman. In The 1870s, Muybridge's Photography Skills Were Enlisted By Leland Stanford, A Racehorse Breeder Who Later Founded Stanford University, To Prove The "unsupported Motion Controversy"-the Theory That During A Horse's Strie, There Was A Moment When All Four Of Its Legs Left The Ground. The Resulting Collection Of Motion Studies, As Braun Explains, Inspired Muybridge To Take Photography Beyond Landscapes To The Realm Of Science. He Went On To Invent The Zoopraxiscope, Which Captures Movement Too Quick For The Human Eye To Record. Most Importantly, Simulating Motion Through A Series Of Stills, His Pioneering Use Of Sequence Photography Served As A Forerunner To The Introduction Of Cinematography In The 1890s. This Illuminating Study Examines A Man Whose Influence Has Resounded Through Generations. In "eadweard Muybridge," Braun Firmly Establishes Muybridge's Central Contributions To The History Of Art, Science, Photography, And Motion Pictures.

Border Confluences: Borderland Narratives From The Mexican War To The Present.
Writers Focusing On The U.s.-mexico Border Are Keen Observers Of Cultural Interaction, And Their Work Offers A Key To Understanding The Region And Its Most Important Issues. For More Than 150 Years, Novelists From Both The United States And Mexico Have Spun Stories About The Borderlands In Which Characters React To Cultural Differences In The Region, And This Has Become A Dominant Theme In Border Fiction. Authors Such As Helen Hunt Jackson, Carlos Fuentes, Cormac Mccarthy, And Leslie Marmon Silko Have Not Only Created Important Literature; In So Doing, They Have Also Helped Define The Border. Writers Who Are Drawn To The Borderlands Owe The Narrative Power Of Their Work To Compelling Relationships Between Literary Constructions Of Space And Artistic Expressions Of Cultural Encounter. Rosemary King Now Offers A New Way Of Understanding The Conflicts These Writers Portray By Analyzing Their Representations Of Geography And Genre. "border Confluences" Examines How The Theme Of Cultural Difference Influences The Ways That Writers Construct Narrative Space And The Ways Their Characters Negotiate Those Spaces, From Domestic Sphere To National Territory, Public School To Utopia. King Shows How Fictional Characters' Various Responses To Cultural Encounters-adapting, Resisting, Challenging, Sympathizing-depend On The Artistic Rendering Of Spaces And Places Around Them, And She Examines The Connection Between Writers' Evocation Of Place And The Presence Of Cultural Interaction Along The Border As Expressed In Novels Written Since The Mid-nineteenth Centry. Drawing On Historical Romances, Hispanic Coming-of-age Novels, Journey Narratives, And Utopian Literature, King Offers Plot Summaries Of Such Key Works As "ramona, All The Pretty Horses, " And "almanac Of The Dead" As She Analyzes Representations Of Both The Spaces In Which Characters Function And The Places They Inhabit Relative To The Border. "border Confluences" Is A Provocative Study That Offers Insight Into The Ways Words And Space Combine And Recombine Over Time To Create Representations Of The Borderlands As A Site Where Places And Cultures Continue To Generate Powerful Narrative. Through It, Scholars And Students In Such Disciplines As Ethnic Studies, Sociology, Annd Women's Studies Will Find That Novels Centered On The Border Are Not Merely Works Of Literature But Also Keys To Understanding The Region And Its Most Important Issues.
