About this deal

As a thermal engineer, I rely on the laws of thermodynamics to make nearly all of my analyses and designs. Temporal relations are never seen in ordinary perception, but they can be seen in the image, provided the image is creative. Although several of his points the author emphasized felt repeated to the point of redundancy, I found it beneficial since I struggle with comprehension.

She does note that Fenton moved the cannonballs onto the road (a claim Morris’s investigation confirms) — but she is neither more outraged nor less thoughtful about this than Morris.It is for this reason, among others, that Morris missed an important opportunity to discuss art photography, creative images by photographers such as Wall or Candida Höfer. Mostly, though, Morris is plainspoken, and that style serves him well: he is matter-of-fact about matters of fact. It allows people to see their own ‘issue’ within the context of a broader, whole-systems perspective that includes multiple ‘issues’. One way that I can imagine Morris addressing these issues is through a more nuanced and extended engagement with Susan Sontag’s Regarding the Pain of Others (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2002). In the third chapter Morris investigates the “smile” on Harman’s face in a photograph with the murdered corpse of Manadel al-Jamadi.

I can see why many advocates for Intelligent Design like this book, though it isn’t exactly promoting Intelligent Design.After the initial act of healing, like a modern doctor, Jesus asks his patient whether he can see anything before giving him additional ‘treatment’. That’s what flabbergasting me about this book, you could’ve just as easily said that faith based things- that can’t be proven- are just as likely to be real as things in science that can’t be proven (yet).

He builds his worldview from axioms that permit logical deduction, and then accepts Christianity because it accords with his deductions. Morris’s interest in this subject was initially articulated in his Opinionator blog for The New York Times from 2007–2010. While I’m unfortunately unable to identify all of these, the effect is really cool— and you don’t have to be a scientist to appreciate this book.

As it happens, she never claimed that Fenton “moved the cannonballs to telegraph the horrors of war. Happily, this thematic narrowness is counterbalanced by a stylistic tendency in the opposite direction — namely, toward the tangential and panoptic. From reading this book one could conclude that any pseudoscience belief is on equal footing with robust, well-tested scientific concepts.

The miracle is that the man is married despite telling his wife she would always be second to science. Instead, Morris presents them to the reader as one would present legal direct examination: question and answer. Also, if one area in a scientific field is still in development, that doesn’t suggest that all areas are also tenuous and not really understood. I was reminded that Atheism is a worldview in itself that takes leaps of faith- how can we know for certain there is no God?

In 1989, he was passed over for an Oscar nomination for "The Thin Blue Line" (1988), reportedly because his use of staged re-­creations violated the Academy’s standards for documentary films. On the contrary: in “Regarding the Pain of Others” (2004), she disparages Fenton as a stooge of the British government, sent to Crimea “to give another, more positive impression of the increasingly unpopular war.
