...academically ambitious or rigorous as some of Appiah’s previous work (for instance, his “Ethics of Identity” published last year), he provides a thorough and compelling argument. Full of anecdotes and humor, as well as his typically lucid writing, it is a pleasure to read...
...Alzheimer's disease at 82. You may be able to push that back until maybe you're 92." Depending on where their personal thermostat is set, some people will do everything right and still develop dementia in their 50s. Others will do everything wrong and be perfectly lucid at 101.

The quiet swerves of Ergon's separate seat and back are subtle, like Noguchi stones made soft and purposeful. No earlier American chair had been mounted on a gas-cylinder...
