Photography and Flight reveals how the camera lens from far away continues to unearth telling details about the land and those who live upon it. While digital technology and remote sensing have changed the landscape of photography, this book argues that they have not diminished the significance of aerial photography in providing images of the earth.

MP3: The Meaning of a Format recounts the hundred-year history of the world's most common format for recorded audio.

Summary:
In ''Photography after capitalism,'' Benedict Burbridge makes the case for a radically expanded conception of photography, encompassing the types of labor too often obscured by black-boxed technologies, slick platform interfaces, and the compulsion to display lives to others. His lively and polemical analysis of today's vernacular photographic cultures shines new light on the hidden work of smartphone assembly teams, digital content moderators, Street View car drivers, Google "Scan-Ops,"low-paid gallery interns, homeless participant photographers, and the photo-sharing masses.
