	FRANKEL, FELICE, AND WHITESIDES, GEORGE M. On the Surface of Things: Images of the Extraordinary in Science San Francisco, Chronicle Books. 1997, First paperback edition.

Richly illustrated with colour plates. "A rare collaboration between artist and scientist, On the Surface of Things explores the hidden visual splendor of scientific phenomena, from cutting-edge nanotechnology to DNA sequencing. Photographer Felice Frankel, artist-in-residence at MIT, teamed up with George M. Whitesides, world-renowned Harvard University chemistry professor, to capture on film the chance explosions of beauty and color that occur when one surface meets another -- on both the micro- and macroscopic levels. How many electrons can dance on the head of a pin? What do DNA strands look like when chased by an electrical charge? Using innovative photographic technology, Frankel finds startling abstract beauty in the undulations of liquid crystal film, the gymnastics of plastic microstructures, the migratory trudge of bacteria, and other scientific wonders. Whitesides's accompanying text is lucid, engaging, and even poetic as he explains each photograph, describing why and how these phenomena occur. In the tradition of The Powers of Ten, On the Surface of Things will excite curious minds and intrigue anyone with an appreciation for photography or unique forms of natural beauty. / Felice Frankel is a Guggenheim fellow, artist-in-residence, and visiting lecturer at MIT. Her previous book is the award-winning Modern Landscape Architecture: Redefining the Garden." - Publisher. Fine.

	REEVES, BYRON, AND NASS, CLIFFORD The Media Equation: How People Treat Computers, Television and New Media Like Real People and Places Stanford, CA, and Cambridge, UK, Center for the Study of Language and Information; Cambridge University Press. 1996, First Edition, First Printing.

Dust jacket slightly sunned spine near top edge/front cover. "According to popular wisdom, humans never relate to a computer or a television program in the same way they relate to another human being. Or do they? The psychological and sociological complexities of the relationship could be greater than you think. In an extraordinary revision of received wisdom, Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass demonstrate convincingly in The Media Equation that interactions with computers, television, and new communication technologies are identical to real social relationships and to the navigation of real physical spaces. Using everyday language, the authors explain their novel ideas in a way that will engage general readers with an interest in cutting-edge research at the intersection of psychology, communication and computer technology. The result is an accessible summary of exciting ideas for modern times. As Bill Gates says, '(they)..have shown us some amazing things.'" - Publisher. Fine/Very Good.
