A story about "Abstracting Craft: The Practiced Digital Hand" — 4 years ago
I’ve put in a request to borrow this. Lorcan Dempsey quotes from this book: “Technologists understand that they must build more stable and unobtrusive media. They must establish more coherent contexts into which the technology may disappear.” And he says, ” Incidentally, the Malcolm McCullough book is one of the most suggestive I have read in a long time.”
A story about "Representing the Royal Navy: British Sea Power, 1750-1815" — 4 years ago
Am reading this at work.Recent reads in this category: British Navy and the State in the 18th century (Wilkinson) ; The Wooden Walls (Rodger); The Insatiable Earl; A Life of John Montague, 4th Earl of Sandwich (Rodger)
A story about "Pragmatism and Sociology" — 4 years ago
Durkheim’s ideas are interesting. His books are tedious; I prefer lectures, such as these. Will be starting this when I’ve gotten some other reading out of the way.
A story about "Cart and Cwidder (Dalemark Quartet, Vol. 1)" — 4 years ago
A good book by one of my favorite authors. A decade ago, a colleage brought back a wonderful reading list from a children’s lit conference in Dublin. DWJ was one of the best finds on the list. I’ve read just about all of it, but own almost none. — We had Indian take-out recently; I arrived a little early and the 2nd-hand book shop was open: Three gems: this one and two others.
