How Images Think

Rating:
Summary: Opens a Window
Review: How Images Think is a must read for those who create, work with and consumer images today.

The author opens a window very wide and asks us to consider, with him, the changes and the effects technology continues to have on the act of representation.

Summary: What a disappointing book!
Review: What an interesting title! what a dissapointing book!
The book is hard enough to read because of the author's lack of skill in writing, but the problem is compounded by printing the entire book in a non-serif font! One of the cardinal rules of printed material is that any text longer than a title, figure caption, or short sidebar should use a serif font to make it easier for the eye to follow the text. This was discovered hundreds of years ago! This is supposed to be a book about seeing, for crying out loud! What was the author thinking - that all those other books were put together by idiots?
