Making the unknowable a little less so
The power of design in education becomes apparent when attempting to comprehend mind-bending topics like quantum physics.
It is through visuals that the truth reveals itself (or at least one of the many possible truths... according to the "observer’s paradox")
This basic quick-read book is a good example.
Not a mobile book
This book is too frustrating to read on a mobile reader. It abruptly switches between portrait and landscape mode. And it doesn’t allow you to compensate by turning your device. It forces you to try to read pages sideways.
