The Thames & Hudson Dictionary of Photography encompasses the history, art and science of photography.

It features over 300 iconic photographs and contains more than 1,200 concise yet fully detailed entries on all aspects of the subject. The culmination of nearly ten years of development and research, this is the truly definitive reference to photography.
