STAFFORD, BARBARA MARIA / TERPAK, FRANCES. Devices of wonder: from the world in a box to images on a screen. With an object list by Isotta Poggi. Los Angeles, CA: Getty Research Institute, 2001, x, 405pp., . Catalog of an exhibition held at the J. Paul Getty Museum from Nov. 13, 2001 through Feb. 3, 2002. - "Modern media machines are the latest addition to a long line of captivating instruments for the augmentation of perception. In Devices of Wonder, Barbara Stafford weaves an array of such sense-extending inventions into a provocative analysis of the social and cultural intersections between old and new technologies. Complementing her wide-ranging investigation are Frances Terpak's thirty-one short essays tracking the complex and often surprising links among individual items. An unusual catalog for an unusual exhibition, Devices of Wonder reframes the history of the beautiful "eye machines" humans have created out of our desire to see more, better, farther, and in a different way." - CONTENTS: 1.

The exhibition At the Crossroads: Qandahar in Images and Empires presents photographs from the album, contextualized with explanatory descriptions and related essays that together provide insight into the city s former urban fabric and historic events now obscured by time. Like many of the earliest photographs taken around the globe after the invention of photography in 1839, these images of Qandahar reflect an imperialist viewpoint that often fails to capture the full social dynamics and cultural heritage of the region. CONTENTS: Qandahar at the crossroads of space and time / Alka Patel Qandahar: refocusing the optics of imperialism / Frances Terpak Exhibition texts and plates / Aparna Kumar Text in Dari and Pashto translation Notes: Published in conjunction with an exhibition of photographs taken by a British photographer after the 1880 siege of Kandahar, currently held by the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles Added title page in Persian and Pushto Language Notes: English, Persian, and Pushto.
