Understanding Understanding
In 2017, Richard Saul Wurman published his magnum opus: Understanding Understanding. Collecting ideas, conversations, artifacts, and impressions from more than 60 years of Wurman’s life-long quest to understand what it takes to make the journey from not knowing to knowing, this coffee-table dominating book delights its reader differently each time it’s opened. A Pandora’s box of info-architectural musings and marginalia, the sort of thing that’s meant to be snacked on more than strip-mined.
TUG’s co-founder Dan Klyn helped out a bit with research and production of this terrific tome. The design and layout were directed by Mr. Wurman, and implemented by Jenn Shore.
We’d like everybody who’d like one to have one, so we’re making copies available for $1 plus the cost of shipping. Which, for a 10” x 10” square, 7lb book, works out to about $25USD in the USA, and $60USD everywhere else. Please write to TUG co-founder Dan Klyn if you’d like to work out a multi-book shipment: we’ve got plenty of copies, and would love to partner with organizations to equip their people with this terrific content.
