Description: The stories behind and legacies of important sports photos from the last 130 years.
Review Quotes: Thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening. I happily followed the writer wherever he or she led me--to the mechanics of taking the photo, or the context of the moment, or the artistic or compositional aspects of the picture. I consumed these varied, accessible essays in gulps, one or two at a time, with the afterimage of each captured moment burned on to my brainpan long after I'd set the book down.--Alexander Wolff, former senior writer, Sports Illustrated, and author of Big Game, Small World: A Basketball Adventure
