"How do you capture a changing world in the blink of an eye? Sacramento, California, 1870. Pioneer photographer Eadweard Muybridge becomes entangled in railroad robber baron Leland Stanford's delusions of grandeur. Tasked with proving Stanford's belief that a horse's hooves do not touch the ground while galloping at full speed, Muybridge gets to work with his camera. In doing so, he inadvertently creates one of the single most important technological advancements of our age ... the invention of time-lapse photography and the mechanical ability to capture motion. Critically-acclaimed cartoonist Guy Delisle (Pyongyang, Hostage) returns with another engrossing foray into nonfiction: a biography about Eadweard Muybridge, the man who made pictures move."--- Subjects: Biographical comics.; Nonfiction comics.; Graphic novels.; Personal narratives.; Muybridge, Eadweard, 1830-1904; Chronophotography; Motion pictures; Photographers; Photography;

- The young man / by Ernaux, Annie,1940-author.; Strayer, Alison L.,translator.; translation of:Ernaux, Annie,1940-Jeune homme.English.;
"The Young Man is Annie Ernaux's account of her passionate love affair with A., a man some 30 years younger, when she was in her fifties. The relationship pulls her back to memories of her own youth and at the same time leaves her feeling ageless, outside of time--together with a sense that she is living her life backwards. Amidst talk of having a child together, she feels time running its course, and menopause approaching. The Young Man recalls Ernaux as the "scandalous girl" she once was, but is composed with the mastery and the self-assurance she has achieved across decades of writing."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Ernaux, Annie, 1940-; Authors, French; Authors, French;
