Which book please?

I hope this is the right forum?

I've a birthday coming up and I would like one of two books. The first one is:

Photography: The Definitive Visual History - Tom Ang

Masters of Photography - Reuel Golden

Can you tell me which would be the better one to choose?.

Each book is suppossed to tell you all the photographic greats from Fox Talbot to today. If not please can you recommend a book for my expertease that would teach me about the history of photography, without being too boring, and the greats like Ansel Adams, David Bailey, Francis frith etc?

But these guys all have their own individual books... in some cases like Bailey covering a period of a great number of years.

Perhaps you should look into getting these after a more general start with one of the ones you suggest.
