The Death of the Book | Book View Cafe

Usula K. Le Guin: "As for books themselves, the changes in book technology are cataclysmic. Yet it seems to me that rather than dying, “the book” is growing — taking on a second form and shape, the ebook." "It looks to me as if people are in fact reading and writing more than they ever did. People who used to work and talk together now work each alone in a cubicle, writing and reading all day long on screen."

Adam Phillips - Shaky Ground | LRB
12 weeks ago by blech
Adam Phillips reviews ‘Understanding Autism’ by Chloe Silverman and ‘What Is Madness?’ by Darian Leader for the LRB (sadly, subscribers only). "For Chloe Silverman, ‘understanding autism’ means understanding how autism has become a diagnostic category and why for some people, in autism advocacy groups for example, it isn’t a pathology at all but just a different way of seeing the world. For Darian Leader, the diagnosis and treatment of madness is something we need to get right, and getting it right means using his preferred version of psychoanalysis."

Christopher Hitchens on the KJB. "An unbeliever argues that our language and culture are incomplete without a 400-year-old book—the King James translation of the Bible. Spurned by the Establishment, it really represents a triumph for rebellion and dissent. Accept no substitutes!" A very good (and pretty quotable) read.

There are so many parts of this introduction to John Stillgoe's book, based on a lecture course, that I want to quote that there's no way I can, and no way I can do it justice (not thank britta enough for posting it in the first place). If you want a synposis, it's about colour and light and seeing and exploring and the built environment and being a pedestrian and... magic. Look, just go and read it.

Hidden City | David Long
february 2011 by blech
"Each time I turned a corner I found another gem. Among the seemingly numberless secret gardens, winding alleyways, tiny squares and ancient courtyards I found stories of the old city and its characters, many extraordinary and unlikely architectural survivors, and a wealth of evidence to remind one again that the City - built, burned, bombed, rebuilt and rebuilt again - is still a uniquely fascinating, rich and engaging place to wander through."

The analogue Facebook | Creative Review
november 2010 by blech
"[DDR Paris] realised that while people may share their most treasured memories and photographs via Facebook, the constantly changing nature of the site means that they can quickly be forgotten, or lost amongst the amount of info stored in a profile. So Bouygues Télécom created the option of turning your Facebook profile into an actual book." Of course, James Bridle did this with Twitter years ago, but it's interesting to see this turned into more of a turnkey application, and as a kick back against the perceived fragility of online data.

"Schalansky got interested in maps and atlases for the most personal of reasons. She was born in East Berlin; when she was 10, East and West Germany merged, “and the country I was born in disappeared from the map.” With that, she lost interest in political maps and became fascinated with the basic building blocks of Earth’s land masses: physical topography."

Oxford English Dictionary 'will not be printed again' | Telegraph
august 2010 by blech
Simon Winchester, quoted in the article: "Until six months ago I was clinging to the idea that printed books would likely last for ever. Since the arrival of the iPad I am now wholly convinced otherwise. The printed book is about to vanish at extraordinary speed. I have two complete OEDs, but never consult them – I use the online OED five or six times daily. The same with many of my reference books – and soon with most. Books are about to vanish; reading is about to expand as a pastime; these are inescapable realities."

Page-turning passion | BBC News
january 2010 by blech
Usually I'm a fan of Lisa Jardine's A Point Of View pieces, but this one strikes the wrong note. Digital books will differ from paper books, but to say that nonlinear reading will vanish (won't Find make it easier?) or that annotation will die (I can get Blog All Dog-Eared Pages posts from anyone, not just friends I happen to live near) seems short-sighted. The implicit criticism of DRM might be well-judged, though.
