A heavy book, 754 pages: the size alone makes the Sage handbook of visual research methods, edited by Eric Margolis (University of Arizona) and Luc Pauwels (University of Antwerp), a special experience. The preface therefore promises not doctrine, but a panorama of a flourishing discipline, offering an unprecedented, almost magical freedom. The details are the true wealth of this book. They form a kaleidoscopic tour of what visual languages ??can do: approaches, specialties and hobbies. [...] This standard work on visual social research is a feast of recognition.
