My definition of the book-included on Essential Knowledge: The Book! /September 15, 2018 by Miriam Schaer

I am very pleased my definition of the book is now up on Amaranth Borsuk’s website Essential Knowledge: The Book, in tandem with the publication of The Book (MIT Press, May 2018). It’s great to see so many new ideas around the book articulated here!
