From the reviews:

"The theoretical and practical study of boundary element methods (BEM) has attracted a lot of attention in the past decades. The main feature of these methods is that one only requires discretization of the surface rather than of the volume of the body to be analyzed. … The present book is intended not only as a useful introduction to classical boundary element techniques but also to some recent developments concerning fast implementation."

Philosophy of Experimental Biology

Just as you cannot tell someone how to fall in love—so the author of this wise, deeply felt, and beautifully written book tells us—you cannot tell people how to look at art. Yet artist, architect, and educator Sanda Iliescu shows us by the example of her penetrating and empathetic way of looking at forms a place to begin. The nine essays in this book will leave the reader feeling both more alert to visual experience and more alive. 

Joan Ockman, University of Pennsylvania and Visiting Professor, Yale University.

I have appreciated Sanda Iliescu’s writings for years, yet the subtlety and kaleidoscopic abundance of the ideas she explores in her current book surprised me. Whether she is writing about a child’s sandcastle, a bird´s nest, a Chinese vase, or masterpieces of art and architecture, she develops profound ideas about the way artists and architects work, and she mediates essential but hidden meanings in the realm of artistic creativity. This book is a joy to read. 

Juhani Pallasmaa, architect, writer, professor emeritus
In a brilliant book, full of wisdom, I have just read the most beautiful and insightful description of what real design is. Not the usual junk about creation, but that of trial, failure, and evolution, seen in the efforts of a delighted and stubborn boy refashioning sandcastles despite their erasure by waves. This book is not only about looking; it’s about seeing clearly.

WG Clark,University of Virginia, USA
Artfully descriptive, eminently insightful, and refreshingly accessible, this collection of essays about art, architecture, and design is a most important addition to the literature in the field. The focus on a human scaled response to individual works and the rewards of looking closely are themes that move in profound ways through these essays. Iliescu’s inimitable ability to draw connections between one’s encounters with the world and works of art and design and the construction of meaning that unfolds, yields a feeling of discovery that is at once, wonderous and affirming. 

Thomas Berding, Michigan State University, USA
This is a thoroughly original book. It is the book I wish I had been assigned in my first art or architecture class, yet one I will return to again and again. Avoiding the traditional introductory survey approach, Iliescu presents a series of idiosyncratic essays exploring singular works of art and architecture in depth. She matches touching personal anecdotes with rigorous critical analysis. She draws her reader along with gentle questions, while giving permission to skip ahead or circle back through these delightful essays. She asks us to look carefully, and to forge our own connections between seemingly disparate, poetic case studies. Ranging from Rembrandt and Tōhaku to Helen Frankenthaler and David Hammons, and from Bramante to Jefferson to Latz + Partner, Iliescu’s carefully curated examples help us understand formal strategies while always placing them in larger historic and social contexts. Over the course of the book, Iliescu turns her reader into an active participant, co-creating the experience of looking at, and making, art and architecture.

"Clark and Greene’s enlightening book on the art of teaching yoga provides a refreshing perspective, combining the rigor of philosophical inquiry with the richness of experiential insight. Drawing on aesthetic philosophy, performance theory, and an understanding of how knowledge is embodied, the authors have crafted an accessible, nuanced book that confronts and corrects popular misconceptions."—Joseph Alter, director of the Asian Studies Center, University of Pittsburgh, and author of Yoga in Modern India

"This book goes into the vast field of yogic studies and explores the deep thinking and resulting awareness that develops from these studies.
