Reviews
"In this evocative novel, Louis Daguerre is a poet whose medium is light, a man for whom memory is as penetrating and fixed as his photographs.Dominic Smith's acute detail calls forth visions of a world and a man on the verge of transformation."-- Ronlyn Domingue, author of The Mercy of Thin Air, "An endlessly thought-provoking story about a man driven to capture and preserve everything that is fleeting and evanescent. It is a book as haunting as a daguerreotype: true in its details, but pesteringly strange; and as beautiful as if it were written not in words but in light."-- Stephen Harrigan, author of "The Gates of the Alamo", "An endlessly thought-provoking story about a man driven to capture and preserve everything that is fleeting and evanescent. It is a book as haunting as a daguerreotype: true in its details, but pesteringly strange; and as beautiful as if it were written not in words but in light."-- Stephen Harrigan, author of The Gates of the Alamo, "A lyrical journey into the world of a man lost to nostalgia and undone by beauty. Dominic Smith has generously rendered an artist in desperate pursuit of the sublime."-- Paul Jaskunas, author of "Hidden", "In "The Mercury Visions of Louis Daguerre," Dominic Smith writes with an authority very few first-time novelists possess. He wonderfully evokes nineteenth- century Paris through a chemically addled consciousness -- a formidable achievement that he manages with humor and grace. A remarkable debut."-- Mark Jude Poirier, author of "Modern Ranch Living: A Novel", "In this evocative novel, Louis Daguerre is a poet whose medium is light, a man for whom memory is as penetrating and fixed as his photographs.Dominic Smith's acute detail calls forth visions of a world and a man on the verge of transformation."-- Ronlyn Domingue, author of "The Mercy of Thin Air", "In its evocation of the artist as lover thwarted by time and death, it captures some of the sweetness of feeling of "La Bohe me." By the time it reaches its final pages, "The Mercury Visions of Louis Daguerre" has become a genuinely moving experience."-- Anthony Giardina, author of "Recent History", "In its evocation of the artist as lover thwarted by time and death, it captures some of the sweetness of feeling of La Bohème. By the time it reaches its final pages, The Mercury Visions of Louis Daguerre has become a genuinely moving experience."-- Anthony Giardina, author of Recent History, "In The Mercury Visions of Louis Daguerre, Dominic Smith writes with an authority very few first-time novelists possess.

Dominic Smith has generously rendered an artist in desperate pursuit of the sublime."-- Paul Jaskunas, author of Hidden, "A splendid novel. You don't often see such a graceful command of historical detail in a first book. Or such striking and elegant prose. Dazzling and wondrous."-- John Dalton, author of "Heaven Lake"

Synopsis
The Treaty of Nanking, signed between Great Britain and China to end the First Opium War (1839-1842), created a new framework for Chinese foreign relations and overseas trade that would last for nearly a century. The story behind this treaty features a culture clash between two great powers, with incidents of cultural misunderstanding, unappreciated gifts, drug smuggling, bribery, and piracy, as well as fortunes won and lost, millions of pounds of opium destroyed, prayers to the spirit of the Southern Sea, and serious debates over kowtowing. One of the most interesting and yet not widely known documents of the nineteenth century, the Treaty of Nanking forever changed the course of Chinese history and completely reshaped China's future relations with the West. Milestones in Modern World History introduces students to seminal historical events that helped shape the modern world. Bolstered by biographical sketches, illustrations, photographs, excerpts from primary source documents, and first-person narratives, this curriculum-based series is ideal for students writing reports. Book jacket., Following in the footsteps of Old Friends and Other Stories, Stories of Identity examines unity and persistence in the personality of John Sherman through seven new stories. These new tales draw upon the themes of mystery, adventure, treasure, and friendship that were present in the earlier work; they also utilize the natural world and history to add texture to their shape. While retaining all those thematic elements from Old Friends and Other Stories, Stories of Identity extends them to include cosmogony, philosophy, man's spirit, religion, and the awakening of courtship and love through stories that examine Sherman's essential character through the lens of his own biography and other individuals from the past. What early readers said: "What a page turner! The buildup to the climax is supurb!" "A fine assured sense of character, of dialogue, of story. It moves right along and involves the reader in a most pleaswing way." "I couldn't put it down; don't change a thing!"
