One First Street Los Altos, CA 94022 This is one of those delightful perceptual tools you realize you'd been hoping for a loi:ig time to bump into. A frankly experimental edition-rough in execution and sometimes farfetched in explanation, but a fine too~ for learning to read and write the characters by which a third of the world's people communicate. More important personally is the glimpse into a language of deep and powerful imagery, where the forms of words themselves convey directly and visually the relationships underlying their meaning. Ancient is written as ten generations of mouths, trouble as two women under the same roof, evening as a crescent moon halfconcealed below the horizon, east as the sun rising behind a tree. -TB WATER Water Atlas of the United States, Geraghty, Miller, van der Leeden and Troise, 1973, $40 from: ' Water Information Center 7 High Street Huntington, NY 11743 Maps are such amazing things! It's only when you start c;rystal-ball gazing into them and asking new questions that you realize the incredible density of information that they contain and the ease with which you can draw new patterns and understanding out of that information. This is a library book- too expensive for the direct use most people would have for it, but well worth a few hours absorbing. You leave it with a new perspective on the condition of the "blood" of our country stored up in some obscure corner of your mind which you .l<,now is going to be useful. Write for publications list covering water-related topics. -TB
