Glacial Erratics

While reading Quicksilver it occurs to me that it ought to be required reading for InformationScience? programs. Nary a chapter goes by without some sideways reference to the importance and difficulties of information representation.    (OX)

Reviews at amazon are at the extremes: some people praise it for its wondeful self indulgent luxury while others rant about the apparent lack of plot.    (OY)

I'm willing to forgive the lack of immediate action: the book demonstrates, through interesting tales, whence modern thought comes.    (OZ)

That's an accomplishment worth a read.    (P0)

(Unfortunately the crucial (as in it's the crux of the biscuit) value of information representation was under represented in my InformationScience? education. I had to plumb it out myself, which tends me towards zealotry.)    (P1)
