Summary: Images of the Century
Review: A stunning piece of invention. Davenport presents us with captions and no pictures, and yet it works as well as if the pictures appeared. So deeply are the images imprinted in our visual memories, the can be imagined instantly. The design is extremely user-friendly for such a radical concept; words as pictures.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible Piece of Imaginary Work
Review: Davenport used an incredible angle with this book. When I was first browsing an art store at The Ohio State University I picked up this book expecting to see pictures of various objects or events in modern society that played an important role. To my dismay, at first, there were no images whatsoever. However, once I looked at the first 15 pages (of text) that contained events, people, objects, etc... My mind ran wild with the images that were supposed to be triggered. This book is a beautiful piece to add to any respectable book collection. I give it my highest recommendation!!

Summary: What a scam!
Review: Images that have changed our lives, with no images! Just captions - 1 per page. It looks like the "author" (using that term as loosely as possible) didn't want to pay royalties to include the actual images. This is so insulting it's offensive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How clever
Review: This has been a hit wherever I have shown this book. High up on both my holiday and special occasion gift-giving. It makes you realize that you don't have to see an image that is thoroughly imprinted on your brain. You just need a brain. I loved it.
