These no long perform any necessary function but – like the unfurling of virtual paper across a digital screen – forge an intuitive link with the past, not to mention being (hopefully) attractive in their own right. It means designing a tool in a new medium that incorporates some of the features of its antecedents. ![]() The answer is skeuomorphic design, from the Greek words for a tool ( skeuos) and shape ( morph). ![]() Why do most smartphones make a clicking noise, like a camera shutter closing, when you take a picture with them?

What he writes is the inadvertent intuitive result of the form he imposes from the beginning. Interesting how effective even the slightest formal restraint is for him. Large print, 92 pages, a nice little red hardback if you take the dust jacket off. KOK also doesn't acknowledge that under-prestigious author with the tripthong surname - he talks about canonical biggies Hamsun, Tolstoy, Borges, Cervantes, Joyce. No one mentions KOK in the same breath as Kerouac, even if both were deeply inspired by Proust and KOK's "inadvertent" method echoes Kerouac's essentials of spontaneous prose. ![]() A typo on page 7 (“than” instead of “that”) on a page about trust made me distrust this one’s publication at first, thinking it a little money-grubby, but that slight initial sense fell away as the old familiar voice and progress through internal and external worlds established themselves.

The authors are champions of free-ranging “village dogs,” “street dogs” or “dump dogs” who make up most of the world’s dog population. But from this short book I did learn an awful lot about canid behavior, biology, and adaptation to environment. I will confess that I don’t have much regard for dogs, except for working dogs such as sheepdogs (they, after all, have a job). What Is a Dog? By Raymond Coppinger and Lorna Coppinger I prefer books that are conversational, closely observed, and wear their learning lightly I dislike academic jargon, polemics, and preachiness.
