River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West

by: Rebecca Solnit
Solnit's book is not simply a biography of photographer Eadweard Muybridge. It is also a fascinating cultural history of California in the nineteenth century, and the resonance that this lost world has for our own time. Gracefully interweaving the tragic history of Indian extermination with the triumphs of industrial expansion (specifically the railroad), and the rapid progression from "instantaneous photography" to the cinema itself, Solnit makes a compelling case for viewing Muybridge, his patron Leland Stanford, and the epic West as the staging ground for modern ways of seeing and thinking.

Motion Studies: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West

by: Rebecca Solnit
In 1872, an Englishman photographed a running horse in California and succeeded for the first time in capturing an image of high-speed motion - the crucial breakthrough that eventually made movies possible. His patron, the philanthropist tycoon Leland Stanford, wanted to know if his trotter Occident ever lifted all four hooves at once - never suspecting what innovations Muybridge's experiments would unleash. From Muybridge's invention came Hollywood and from his patron Stanford's sponsorship of technological research came Silicon Valley - two industries that have most powerfully shaped the modern world.
