If you were to pick up this book with no expectations, you would be greatly disappointed. 90% of the book is pictures, photographs loosely divided into categories to show item is use. The remaining 10% covers the inspiration and use of the book, with the author's interpretations of the earlier photographs. Where this book shines is when you approach it in need of inspiration. When you are lacking in new ideas, a quick glance through this book can grant you a new look on the world we interact with, not just by examples within the pages themselves (which are, on their own, open to interpretation beyond what the author gives at the back) but also in your day to day life. I found myself noticing lots of "thoughtlesss acts" the afternoon after going through this, acts I would have otherwise ignored. The examples highlight the small ways in which people mis-use the environment around them, or more accurately use it for purposes it was not intended for. By presenting a collection of clear and not so clear examples, it trains your mind to notice these events on your own. I would not say this is a book you should rush out and buy. Have a look at the thoughtless acts website, borrow it from someone or grab a copy from the library, but unless you really want a copy on hand it is not really required. A useful book for the occasional reference, and good for getting you thinking about the way things are designed, but not a "must read" ( or view, for the photographs I guess).
Helpful. This was a gift from my friend Paul. I liked it more than I thought I would. Actually, I really liked it!
I've read this series over ten years ago. But I remember it being very good. For the first 18 books. After that the more it lasted the worst it got. I stopped at book 32. These days I wouldn't give it more than 20. Back to the good stuff. I found that Gaia was a good strong, pretty but still flawed character. She was special without being annoying. It's just that once the author stopped looking over the shoulder of the ghost writer. Things went down the drain pretty fast. Last note. The series may be in boxes but I won't be giving them away any time soon. She's a good example of an interesting main character in an interesting premise.
I enjoy this book as an addition to the "I Spy" genre. There's really great rhymes, cut outs, and fun illustrations that will interest readers, and something new for those parents who have picked up I Spy and Where's Waldo for the 100 time
Lewis White Beck is not very right.
Yesss. You know what I do? I just love the everlovin' heck outta Fables, that's what I do.
X is for XOXO!
