It covers key themes  including the globalization of photographic culture, the personalization of photobooks, the self-publishing boom and the new &#8216;layered&#8217; photobook approach.<\/p>\n<p>While  the history of photographs is a well-established canon, less critical  attention has been directed at the phenomenon of the photobook, which  for many photographers is perhaps the most significant vehicle for the  display of their work and the communication of their vision to a mass  audience. Volume III, co-edited by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, expands  this study and history of the photobook further. It explores the  symbiotic relationship between the contemporary propaganda book vs. the  protest photobook, sex and youth culture, photographers examining their  own environments and the impact of the Internet and social media on the  nature of the photobook, among much else.<\/p>\n<p>The book is divided into  9 thematic chapters, each featuring general introductory text providing  background information and highlighting the dominant political and  artistic influences on the photobook in the period, followed by more  detailed discussion of the individual photobooks. The introductory  chapter texts are followed by spreads and images from over 200 books,  which provide the central means of telling the history of the photobook.  Chosen by Parr and Badger, these illustrations show the most  artistically and culturally important photobooks in three dimensions,  with the cover or jacket and a selection of spreads from the book shown.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.phaidon.com\/store\/photography\/the-photobook-a-history-volume-iii-9780714866772\/\" target=\"_blank\">Phaidon<\/a>, 2014<br \/>\nHardcover<br \/>\n11 3\/8 x 9 7\/8 inches (290 x 250 mm)<br \/>\n320 pages<\/p>\n<p>900 color illustrations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We English is featured in the third and final volume of Phaidon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Photobook series, described as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcthe most important contribution to the field since modern histories of photography began to appear in the early 20th century\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 (photo-eye) and produced by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger.
