The Railroad Photography of J. Parker Lamb showcases the black-and-white imagery of a master of the craft. Parker Lamb came of age in the South and the Midwest during a time of great transition on railroads in the United States. New technology was replacing the steam locomotives and labor-intensive practices that had dominating railroading for more than a century. Cameras in hand, Lamb bore witness to the end of that era and continued to vividly portray all that followed. His lyrical photographs depict new diesels, waning passenger trains, blossoming freight business, and many of the people who worked in, and were captivated by, the great American institution of the railroad. A biographical essay by noted transportation journalist Fred W. Frailey explores Lamb's life and photographic contributions, while captions by former Trains magazine editor Kevin P. Keefe add context to Lamb's imagery.Binding Type: Hardcover

My Kid’s Favorite
Format: Hardcover
This is a favorite in our house! Even the adults enjoy reading the National Geographic versions of 5-minute stories. The facts are actually interesting, and we read them again and again! Great for science minded kids.

Nice Book!
Format: Hardcover
Nice thick book, beautifully bound. Spectacular artwork. Easy read, good for a beginning reader, too. Lots of interesting shark facts. Good for a shark lover. Makes a fantastic gift when paired with an underwater jigsaw puzzle or something like the National Geographic Shark Excavation Stem Kit. Suitable for a variety of ages; preschool to grade 3. Sound purchase.
