I agree: Taschen did a great job on Byrne's book. But Taschen did so on a book that was already written, and long out of copyright.
This new book is yet to be written, and, having done a few books myself priced in this range, I know that this price is not exorbitant.
Finally, as a corollary to the above, this book does not compete with anything Taschen has done, so it need not blow the earlier work out of the water. It simply needs to be good on its own terms.
In class, I would almost never say "well, remember what she / or he said." Normally I would say "well, remember what Jane / or Jim / or you [pointing] said."
This is because like most people (in my experience), I only tend to use 3rd person pronouns when people are absent.
Moreover, what if their pronoun were "they"? Can you imagine how uninformative, unclear, or even ridiculous, it would be to say, "well, remember what they said?"
So I have never understood this request, unless they are demanding me to refer to them in their pronoun of choice when they are absent. Given that I have a hard enough time remembering my students' names, that's not likely to happen.
But on the other hand, some students are starting to demand that professors address them according to the personal pronouns with which they personally identify.
One can train oneself not to care about ephemera. One can also train oneself to lead a life that has no free time, because one's life is itself a creative act.
I imagine that sounds very 'arrogant' but I'd rather live that way than to be just a consumer. Or even a consumer, period.
Actually, I try to avoid using wifi on my phone (I have no data plan) , and thus prefer SMS.
Also, I fly a lot and having SMS on the tarmac is a great option.
I can't believe you came here to post this (unless there is some irony I am not detecting). Anyway, science is most truly science when it is about pure knowledge, and not about application to life.
It's like the dream of the modern university administrator: finding a way to pay one's own salary and spending as little as possible on the content you advertise. Universities don't yet have free content, but they're getting close.
I think you misunderstand me. I am not arguing against AI here in any way. And yes, yes, pattern recognition belongs to the spontaneity of the understanding, which means that the understanding imposes its patterns according to its categories (see Kant's first critique).
People seem to use "anymore" incorrectly these days, or the meaning is really shifting. My students seem to use it to mean "these days," whereas when I was growing up it had the connotation of "no longer".

You consider the papyrus plant to be a tree?
I have an edition of Byrne's first six books - it is beautiful, and given his approach, quite useful.
Can't wait for somebody to finish his work, esp. the illustrated version of the irrationality of the square root of 2.
I would hope that this would be irony.
It's so scary that university administration has so warped our students that they believe this crap.
Of course, those are not pronouns.

DrinkyPoo is my fave /. handle
de gustibus and all that, but it would take a heart of stone to not be moved by Gram Parsons.
I am not doing your homework for you. If you really think the reporting in this case is in doubt, then God and Trump bless you.
Do you read the news at all? This has been well covered.

I was wondering how "help" crept into the science as well, and for the exact same reason.

That was clearly the last time a split-second mattered in the Olympics.
But anyway, that poor writing is the fault of the Guardian, not /.

Intelligence is not just pattern recognition (i.e. understanding); it's also pattern creation (i.e. reason, creativity).
There is clearly something wrong if the History channel is in the business of futurology.
Um, no. Spoken as someone who has done Paris more than a few times. With a wife and sometimes even kids.
You do realize that "surfaces" here is a verb (granted, an awkwardly used verb)?.
I said connotation, not definition.
It needs to be used in a negation.
For instance, "it's not a planet anymore"="it's no longer a planet."
People seem to use "anymore" incorrectly these days, or the meaning is really shifting. My students seem to use it to mean "these days," whereas when I was growing up it had the connotation of "no longer".
