• Emanuel Goldberg and His Knowledge Machine: Information, Invention, and Political Forces by Michael Buckland

FYI: "This book tells the story of Emanuel Goldberg, a chemist, inventor, and industrialist who contributed to almost every aspect of imaging technology in the first half of the 20th century. Photographic sensitometry, reprographics, standardized film speeds, color printing (moire effect), aerial photography, extreme microphotography (microdots), optics, camera design (the Contax), the first hand-held movie camera, and early television technology-Goldberg was involved with all of them. Yet history has not been kind to him, and his name has been all but erased from the annals of information science." (from the back cover)
