Donald Knuth. Digital Typography. 斯坦福大学, CA:

An edited collection of technical articles,

lectures and personal commentary documenting the
seminal work of a leading researcher in the field of

prose as well as programming code and supporting
算法. Knuth bridges the gap between the aesthet-
ics of letterforms in print and in their mathematical
representations on screen. Despite the highly techni-
cal nature of the subject, the book retains information
relevant to the designer and lay person interested in
computer fonts, typesetting and typography in a digi-
tal medium.

the human nature of scientific progress.

Julius M. Moravcsik. 意义, Creativity and
the Partial Inscrutability of the Human Mind.
斯坦福大学, CA: Center for the Study of Languages and
Information/CSLI Publications, 1998. 国际标准书号 1-57586-
126-7(平装) 200 页面.

A philosophical approach to theories of

language and cognition that casts humans as explana-
tion-seeking and -forming creatures. Moravcsik argues
persuasively that natural languages differ from formal
and computationally based languages in being unable
to capture the context dependent and inter-subjectiv-
ity of holistic explanatory schemes. Written for an
interdisciplinary audience in clear prose with concise
overviews of the field, this book will appeal to follow-
ers of Chomsky, AI researchers, 符号学, linguists
and students interested in language, meaning and the
unknowable aspects of the human mind.

ing campaigns presented with a review of the tech-

compelling claim for puppetry’s continuing cultural
and artistic relevance in an age when we talk about
human robot interaction.

techniques Scher has used to overcome them.

ples from diverse fields, the book makes a case for VR

A revised version of a renowned late seventies

attack on the Modernist establishment. Condemning
buildings designed without regard to traditional forms,
local materials or nascent patterns, Watkins finds new
targets to lambaste in the structures built in the decades
since the book’s original publication. He also reflects
on his argument’s sometimes welcome, often hostile
reception in the architectural community. Watkin’s
polemic remains an eye-opening read for both defend-
ers and deriders of the modernist movement.
