Book Description
What is an image? How can we describe the experience of looking at images, and how do they become meaningful to us? In what sense are images like or unlike propositions? Participants of the 33rd International Wittgenstein Symposium--philosophers as well as historians of art, science, and literature--provide many stimulating answers. Some of the contributions are dedicated to Wittgenstein’s thoughts on images while others testify to the important role notions coined or inspired by Wittgenstein--“seeing as”, “picture games” and the dichotomy of “saying and showing”--play in the field of picture theory today. This first volume of the Proceedings of the 2010 conference addresses readers interested in the history and theory of images, and in the philosophy of Wittgenstein.

Book Description
"Polar fleece, titanium, and GPS have forever changed the face of exploration. Today an explorer can make a phone call from the top of Mount Everest and geo-locate himself in the thickest rain forest or the widest desert. Yet despite these advances, few modern adventures get close to the charm and romance of "The Desert Road to Turkestan," "Mysterious Temples of the Jungle," and "Airplanes Come to the Isles of Spice." In those bygone days, the pages of National Geographic were as close as most people could get to high adventure and faraway lands-and here's a chance to recapture them. Alongside noteworthy names like Robert Peary, Amelia Earhart, and Teddy Roosevelt, other less famous travelers take us on long-forgotten trips to places few Americans had gone. We follow as "An American Girl Cycles Across Transylvania," trek "A Thousand Miles Along the Great Wall of China," and glide "By Felucca Down the Nile." Introduced by brief essays that provide context and perspective, these engaging, engrossing selections speak for themselves-and trace the National Geographic Society's growth as it explored the unknown and brought it to readers eager for knowledge of "the world and all that is in it"--Publisher's description.

Book Description
Seriously. Look in any large commercial bookstore—you’ll be shocked by the sheer numberof books written on the subject. Especially bookstores associated with a university, and evenmore so, universities with a medical school. You’ll find Anatomy textbooks, many of them hefty tomes and others, slimmer, distilled, even pocket volumes. Also Anatomy atlases, someof these of the classic, masterfully hand-drawn kind and others, the increasingly popular slickphotograph and illustration variety; and Anatomy dissection guides; and an Anatomy coloring book or two. Elsewhere, there are likely Anatomy-themed novels, and more. So what, otherthan hubris or a tragically delayed middle-age crisis would drive me to now add yet anotherAnatomy book to this hopelessly cluttered pile? The only answer I have to this obvious but no-less-worthy-for-being-so question is “None of those others are like mine.” For one thing,there is the small matter of my three decades spent studying, organizing, drawing,explaining, encouraging, haranguing med students on three continents on all matters anatomical.
