Muybridge's Complete Human and Animal Locomotion
Amazon look inside.(Vol.1) Three Volumes. Reprints (all plates) from Animal Locomotion, first published in 1887. With an Introduction by Anita Ventura Mozley.
"I am going to make a name for myself," young Eadweard Muybridge told a friend. "If I fail, you will never hear of me again." The prediction was wrong on two counts. The 19th century British photographer was to be celebrated for his multiple photographs proving that during a gallop all four of a horse's hoofs leave the ground. His series became the basis for motion picture photography, and today the man should be as celebrated as Thomas Edison, to whom he was once compared. But Muybridge's pioneering works fell between the stools of still photography and cinema, and at the time of his death, in 1904, he was all but forgotten. Even the contemporary fascination with photography has not elevated Muybridge to his proper place. These volumes may redress the balance. With the exactitude of a scientist and the dramatic sense of a stage designer, Muybridge observed lions, donkeys, dogs, deer, even elephants as they strode and ran. Their movements, caught in chiaroscuro, give the studies an eerie, dreamlike quality that has never quite been duplicated. Other series of nude men, women and children are done without a hint of prurience and provide a brilliant study of anatomy. The price tag on this rediscovered classic is prohibitive, but no library can afford to skip works that prove photography was a high art long before the electronic-shutter and autofocus robots that now pass for cameras.

Brian Clegg, The Man Who Stopped Time. The Illuminating Story of Eadweard Muybridge - Pioneer Photographer, Father of the Motion Picture, Murderer Completists please note: the UK covers are not quite the same it seems - the overlayed images are arranged differently, and the title spacing is different. Here is a cover (by a different publisher who cancelled the project) that was never used. This is the most recent biography. Review.
Robert Bartlett Haas, Muybridge. Man in motion Twenty years or so in the making, it was worth waiting for. A very competent and profusely illustrated biography, and if one Muybridge book has to be chosen, still perhaps the first choice. Robert Bartlett Haas (b.1916) was a faculty member at UCLA (1949- ) and the director of arts and humanities extension (1958). Oblong 4to., xii, 207 pp., 156 b&w illustrations.
David Harris, with Eric Sandweiss, Eadweard Muybridge and the Photographic Panorama of San Francisco 1850-1880 A delight to see these superb fold-out reproductions of San Francisco panoramas, including Muybridge's - which are a nightmare for the cataloguer. Authoritative text.
Product Description, Amazon 12 x 9.8 x 0.8 inches. 135 pages.
Gordon Hendricks, Eadweard Muybridge, the Father of the Motion Picture Handsome, well-researched and well written account of the life and work. Complements the Haas biography, and also '20 years in the making'. Profusely illustrated. Gordon Hendricks was an art historian who wrote books on such painters as Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Eakins, as well as the photographer Eadweard Muybridge, and was an authority on the early history of motion pictures who debunked the notion that Edison was the father of movies.

Kevin Kerr, Studies in Motion Based on the theatre production Studies in Motion - the Hauntings of Eadweard Muybridge. From the book publisher's website:
Photographer Eadweard Muybridge's life was filled with the events of Victorian melodrama: adultery, jealousy, betrayal, murder, and an abandoned child. Tried for the murder of his wife's lover, he was acquitted on the grounds of justifiable homicide. However, these events, which predate his subsequent obsession with stopping time and freezing motion, become the ghosts that haunt Muybridge in the fictional world of Governor General's Award winning dramatist Kevin Kerr's new play, Studies in Motion. Attempting to absolve himself of the tragic consequences of his past actions by inventing a new world where action is neutralized by scientific analysis, Muybridge uses instantaneous photography to dissect time into its smallest possible fragments -to reconstruct his life, his identity, and his legacy.

Kevin MacDonnell, Eadweard Muybridge. The man who invented the moving picture An English photography-enthusiast's attempt to create the first book on Muybridge. Lots of errors, photos reversed, and other problems - but wide distribution, in several languages, did help to make Muybridge's story and range of images more widely known. Transcriptions of original documents still useful.

Eadweard Muybridge and Mark Klett, One City/Two Visions: San Francisco Panoramas, 1878 and 1990
Once again, Mark Klett turns his talents to re-photography, this time after a panoramic view of San Francisco done in 1878 by Eadweard Muybridge. Two major earthquakes and 112 years later, Klett's panorama reveals a dramatically altered city, yet one which retains its original character to a remarkable degree. This is a rephotograph by Mark Klett of a San Francisco panorama, after a panoramic view done in 1878 by Eadweard Muybridge. Two major earthquakes removed from the original, Klett's image reveals a dramatically altered city, yet which retains some of its original character. One City/Two Visions combines both extraordinary panoramas into a unique accordion-fold format- the Muybridge on one side, the Klett on the other. The one-foot-high-panels extend 10-1/2 feet, spiraling back and forth against each other to provide a visual continuum of a city in constant change. Photo-Eye Bookstore.
Les Pardew, Ross Wolfey, The Animator's Reference Book
"The Animator's Reference Book" serves as a visual reference guide for animators to show common human motion. It is an update of a classic series of reference books by Eadweard Muybridge. Although these books are generally heralded as the best reference books available, Muybridge's photographs were taken more than 100 years ago at the dawn of photography and are of poor quality. This updated book is designed specifically for the animator. It will help animators understand how to create better animation by studying actual motion. It will also serve as a valuable reference for game developers who wish to incorporate realistic human motion into their game design. In addition to human motion reference, this book will also contain instruction and tips for animating characters. Synopsis: "The Animator's Reference Book" is designed to assist animators with the complex challenge of creating accurate human animation. It contains synchronized photos showing a wide range of common human motion, photographed from the front, side, back, and top to provide a complete view of the action and offer a clear, frame-by-frame reference of human movement. Learn how to compare the nuances of various types of motion and discover how motion affects the creation of accurate clothing deformation in animated characters. Cover techniques that allow you to accurately reflect the effect of weight and gravity on your animated characters. Whether you create 2D or 3D animation, this book serves as a valuable reference for realistically duplicating human motion.

PLUS Text volume of identical title,132pp. The Horse in Motion, as shown by Instantaneous Photography, with a Study in Animal Mechanics, founded on Anatomy and the Revelations of the Camera, in which is demonstrated the Theory of Quadrupedal Motion by J.B.D. Stillman, A.M., M.D. (Messrs. Trubner, 1882). The investigations were executed and published under the auspices of Mr. Leland Stanford, of Palo Alto Farm, California.
The book by J.D.B Stillman (pub: Boston: James R. Osgood, 1882), commissioned by Muybridge's patron, the railroad baron Leland Stanford, was based on Muybridge's now famous photographic studies of a horse galloping. But master and reluctant servant had fallen out, and the book was published under Stillman's name, giving Muybridge negligible credit. The book contains detailed description of the studies into the motion of the horse (and other quadrupeds), with five of Muybridge's photographs and ninety-one lithographs based on his photographs, plus line drawings. The book's publication caused considerable embarrassment to Muybridge at the time, as his contribution to the scientific studies was now questioned by several authorities, but it is an important publication nonetheless.

'This classic history of scientific film was published in Italian in 1984, and is receiving its first English publication in a revised and updated edition. Tosi challenges traditional histories of the cinema by arguingthat late-nineteenth century sequence photographers Eadweard Muybridge and Etienne-Jules Marey were not precursors of the entertainment cinema but of a vital history of scientific cinematography. Tosi describes the scientific impulses behind Muybridge, Marey, other chronophotographers such as Jules Janssen, Albert Londe, and Georges Demeny, and demonstrates the fascinating ways in which surgeons, astronomers, ethnologists and biologists used film in the earliest years of cinema.
Regina Wagner, Cristobal von Rothkirch, The History of Coffee in Guatemala (Villegas Editores, 2001)
Hardcover: 224 pages, Language: English.
"Muybridge left the largest and oldest photographic record of coffee production in Latin America, and captured an important period of transition from the conservative to the liberal eras."
After it emerged as a market commodity in the 18th century, coffee was easily adapted to cultivation in the highlands of Central America. Guatemala in particular has relied on coffee cultivation as a part of its economic identity: it has been a premier export crop for over 300 years. The importance of coffee to the country lies in the large labor investment in each stage of production. This large-format illustrated book covers agricultural, social, and cultural aspects of coffee culture in Guatemala in old photographs, charts, tables and maps. Wagner's work shows how Guatemala has met the economic complexity to which this product is subject, and why coffee remains the solid foundation crop of the country today.
Regina Wagner was born in Guatemala, has a Ph.D. in history from Tulane University, New Orleans. She teaches at the Francisco Marroqu’n University and is current president of the Academy for Geography and History of Guatemala.
The book was originally published in Spanish. A new updated (English?) edition is planned for 2011.
The Google book preview includes several good quality sepia reproductions of Muybridge photographs.
