the blind watchmaker, richard dawkings: penguin. [designed by jamie keenan] William Paley, in his book Natural Theology, held that the complexity of living organisms was evidence of the existence of a divine creator by drawing a parallel with the way in which the existence of a watch compels belief in an intelligent watchmaker. Dawkins, in contrasting the differences between human design and its potential for planning with the workings of natural selection, therefore dubbed evolutionary processes as analogous to a blind watchmaker. | Wikipedia

postcards from penguin: one hundred book covers in one blog box: penguin. [original design by allen lane] _100th book cover! this is not exactly a book, but i couldn’t help it… it was so perfect for the occasion! just on the other day i was saying on twitter how hard it is not to post a penguin book cover every single day, so it couldn’t be more appropriate. thanks to all the encouragement, praise, tips, reblogs, likes, mentions and retweets… special thanks to @thiagopj, who gave me the idea for this tumblr. and now, if you have any comments/suggestions for the next (100) book covers, you can just click on the link up above and hit me with it!

31 songs, nick hornby: penguin. [designed by gray318] _couldn’t think of any other cover to post today since i’m listening to lonely avenue (nick hornby and ben folds’ music project) in a loop the whole day. In Hornby’s 2002 Songbook [published in UK as 31 Songs], a collection of 30 essays about pop songs published to benefit children’s charities in the US and the UK, Hornby ruminated on Folds’ “Smoke” . (…) The essay was ostensibly about the painstaking craft of creating the effortless-seeming pop song, of which Hornby considers Folds a master, but, like most of the essays in the book, it addressed so much more. Hornby called “Smoke” “one of the cleverest, wisest songs about the death of a relationship that I know” and, he admitted, he turned to it regularly as his own marriage unraveled. | Michael Hill
