Peter Principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Peter Principle is the principle that "In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence." It was formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull in their 1969 book The Peter Principle, a humorous treatise which also introduced the "salutary science of Hierarchiology", "inadvertently founded" by Peter. It holds that in a hierarchy, members are promoted so long as they work competently. Sooner or later they are promoted to a position at which they are no longer competent (their "level of incompetence"), and there they remain, being unable to earn further promotions. This principle can be modeled and has theoretical validity.[1] Peter's Corollary states that "in time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out his duties" and adds that "work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence".

From <i>Cabinet</i>: Jacket Required: Observatory: Design Observer
from book binding to dust jacket full of advertisements, there is now for paper books the decorative item. In Japan, all bookshop clerks will propose a book cover once you bought one. Indeed, in the train, café, subways, you will never know what people are reading.
The last evolution of the advertisement on books is advertisement in books with patents by Amazon for in content ads on the kindle.

Le livre dans le tourbillon numérique, par Cédric Biagini et Guillaume Carnino (Le Monde diplomatique)
Après s’être longtemps opposée aux ambitions de Google, la Bibliothèque nationale de France (BNF) a annoncé mi-août qu’elle négociait avec lui pour la numérisation de ses ouvrages. Où mène le gigantesque fleuve de culture rendue « liquide » par le passage au virtuel ? Qui le contrôlera ? La montée en puissance de l’e-book (livre électronique) conduit certains à redouter les mirages de la bibliothèque universelle et la dilution de l’espace démocratique dans le gigantisme commercial.

magique !painstakingly precise laser-cuts made into the pages of a blank sketchbook. As the book is opened and its pages begin to turn, these cuts work together to form a spatial representation of the single, highly choreographed 90-minute shot that is Alexander Sokurov's film Russian Ark.

The Programming Aphorisms of Strunk and White - Coding the Wheel
Of course, "Strunk and White," as the book is commonly called, has nothing to do with software (it was written in 1935) and everything to do with writing: grammar, composition, and style for users of the English language. But in its 100 short pages this book has more to say about the craft of software than many books you'll find in the "Computing" section of your local bookstore.
