About this product
Product Information
From the author of the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>Inside of a Dog</i>, this elegant and entertaining (<i>The Boston Globe</i>) explanation of how humans perceive their environments does more than open our eyes...opens our hearts and minds, too, gently awakening us to a world--in fact, many worlds--we've been missing (<i>USA TODAY</i>). Alexandra Horowitz<i></i>shows us how to see the spectacle of the ordinary--to practice, as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle put it, the observation of trifles. Structured around a series of eleven walks the author takes, mostly in her Manhattan neighborhood, <i>On Looking</i> features experts on a diverse range of subjects, including an urban sociologist, the well-kwn artist Maira Kalman, a geologist, a physician, and a sound designer. Horowitz also walks with a child and a dog to see the world as they perceive it. <i>What </i>they see, <i>how </i>they see it, and why most of us do <i>t </i>see the same things reveal the startling power of human attention and the cognitive aspects of what it means to be an expert observer. Page by page, Horowitz shows how much more there is to see--if only we would really look. Trained as a cognitive scientist, she discovers a feast of fascinating detail, all explained with her generous humor and self-deprecating tone. So turn off the phone and other electronic devices and <i>be </i>in the real world--where strangers communicate by geometry as they walk toward one ather, where sounds reveal shadows, where posture can display humility, and the underside of a leaf unveils a Lilliputian universe--where, indeed, there are worlds within worlds within worlds.

Communication was smooth and professional throughout the whole process. Would definitely buy from this seller again. Great value ,Highly recommended!Thinking in Systems: International Bestseller by Donella Meadows (#375858751209)
- r***e (597)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseJust arrived. EBay gets nervous when you don't leave feedback, but some deliveries take longer than others. No complaints, this one did make the expected delivery window, so I think Ebay's auto system is a bit over zealous with its reminders. This is a new CD (Jim Byrnes long hot summer days) had superb packaging. Value-wise, I say this CD is a great collection of true musicianship, it sums up a whole career of solid quality. I highly commend this seller who I use quite often. Top marks.Long Hot Summer Days by Jim Byrnes [Audio CD] (#167163098099)
