SECKEL, AL; HOFSTADTER, DOUGLAS R. (FOREWORD BY)

Masters of Deception: Escher, Dali, & the Artists of Optical Illusion

New York, Sterling Publishing Co. Inc. 2004. (ISBN: 1402705778) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Cloth, 320 pp. illus. (some col.), biblio. index; 29 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "Astonishing creations by masters of the art, such as Escher, Dali, and Arcimboldo, amazing visual trickery and an illuminating foreword by the Pulitzer Prize--winning author Douglas R. Hofstadter make this 320-page, breathtaking collection the definitive book of optical illusions. Rings of seahorses that seem to rotate on the page. Butterflies that transform right before your eyes into two warriors with their horses. A mosaic portrait of oceanographer Jacques Cousteau made from seashells. These dazzling and often playful artistic creations manipulate perspective so cleverly that they simply outwit our brains: we can't just take a quick glance and turn away. They compel us to look once, twice, and over and over again, as we try to figure out exactly how the delightful trickery manages to fool our perceptions so completely. Of course, first and foremost, every piece is beautiful on the surface, but each one offers us so much more. Some, including Sandro del Prete's charming 'Window Gazing,' construct illusionary worlds where normal conceptions of up, down, forward, and back simply have no meaning anymore. Others, such as Jos De Mey's sly 'Ceci n'est pas un Magritte,' create visual puns on earlier work. From Escher's famous and elaborate 'Waterfall' to Shigeo Fukuda's 'Mary Poppins,' where a heap of bottles, glasses, shakers, and openers somehow turn into the image of a Belle Epoque woman when the spotlight hits them, these works of genius will provide endless enjoyment and food for thought." - Publisher.

I Am a Strange Loop

New York, Basic Books. 2008, Fifth Impression. (ISBN: 0465030785). Hardcover, 8vo. pp. xix,(3), 412, color illustrations, "Eschewing the study of biological processes as inadequate to the task, he argues that the phenomenon of self-awareness is best explained by an abstract model based on symbols and self-referential "loops," which, as they accumulate experiences, create high-level consciousness. Theories aside, it's impossible not to experience this book as a tender, remarkably personal and poignant effort to understand the death of his wife from cancer in 1993—and to grasp how consciousness mediates our otherwise ineffable relationships. In the end, Hofstadter's view is deeply philosophical rather than scientific. It's hopeful and romantic as well, as his model allows one consciousness to create and maintain within itself true representations of the essence of another. ". Very Good/Very Good.
