Different indeed,
This review is from: Difference (The New Critical Idiom) (Paperback)
I must say this is a bold change of direction for Mark Currie after his previous book, 'Rough Framing Carpentry' (1993, also available through Amazon), which described 'quick, efficient ways to frame residential and commercial buildings... how to save time and eliminate errors when detailing lumber to be assembled... how to spot information missing on the plans.' In 'Difference' Mr Currie seems to be placing the accent more on the intellectual and -- dare I say -- spiritual aspects of carpentry, and turning his attention to the tricky problem of how to take things down. I was a little mystified by the statement that 'anything which is is itself by virtue of not being something else, by differing, and that which it differs from remains as a trace, that whose absence is necessary for it to be'. But when I put the theory to the test with two offcuts of ply, all made sense. One small step for Mark Currie, perhaps, but a giant leap for carpentry. |
