In Art as Information Ecology, Jason A. Hoelscher offers not only an information theory of art but an aesthetic theory of information. Applying close readings of the information theories of Claude Shannon and Gilbert Simondon to 1960s American art, Hoelscher proposes that art is information in its aesthetic or indeterminate mode—information oriented less toward answers and resolvability than toward questions, irresolvability, and sustained difference. In this way, art constitutes information that remains in formation---a difference that makes a difference that keeps on differencing.

Now he delivers fascinating fresh evidence for the seeds of ethical behavior in primate societies that further cements the case for the biological origins of human fairness.

For me, it’s 5 miles of man-made, boat-bothered, sometimes maddening canal between Exeter Quay and Turf Lock. I didn’t choose the Exeter Canal. It chose me. It was close to home in Honiton, cheap to fish, and open all year. What started as convenience became obsession. Because this canal doesn’t give up its fish easily. It makes you earn them. This book is the result of 20 years of blanks, breakthroughs, and learning to read a water that changes every day.
