He finds that the scientific reconstruction of texts is not only a recent historical phenomenon but also an anachronism that loses exactly what it seeks: a way of confronting a text in its own terms. In the medieval period, Cerquiglini observes, works were translated into French and transmitted in French copies that often varied greatly...

Since the Industrial Revolution shifted the world into high gear, the cult of speed has pushed us to a breaking point. Consider these facts: Americans spend 40 percent less time with their children than they did in the 1960s; the average American spends seventy-two minutes of every day behind the wheel of a car; a typical business executive now loses sixty-eight hours a year to being put on hold; and American adults currently devote on average a meager half hour per week to making love.Living on the edge of exhaustion, we are constantly reminded by our bodies and minds that the pace of life is spinning out of control.

My first view camera was an old Busch-Pressman Model D. Originally made for press photographers in the 1950s, the Busch-Pressman was an extraordinarily rugged aluminum-bodied, folding 4X5 camera. I bought mine used, with a 137mm Wollensak Raptar lens, in the early '70s for about $125. The same camera and lens combination can be found on today’s online auction sites for about the same price. I replaced the original Wollensak lens with a better-quality 90mm Nikon and used that camera and lens combination...
