The Palgrave Handbook of Image Studies

Krešimir Purgar has assembled a striking collection of essays on Image Studies. I have not been able to stop reading them. They cover a huge range and represent intelligent and well informed opinions containing important topics of interest to all its students. Anyone interested in this relatively recent field of study will find access to some of its essential methods and theories.

Enormous and fundamental collection: histories, essential theories, interdisciplinary connections and many main thinkers. A must have for all interested in images.
