Review # 1 was written on 2019-03-16 00:00:00 Tim Miklaucic The book covers a lot of territory...i wish the flags were grouped by linguistic similarities or reservation for my ease but I understand with movement over time that alphabetically makes the most sense and for ease of finding the flag. I want to read another book on analysis and groupings of the flags..such as time period when they were made.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-05 00:00:00 ktqxqtcy catuiile This book is more an academic book than something for a popular audience. I'm super interested in how the Enlightenment shaped entertainment, and here it is: automata, magic, hoaxes, trompe l'oeil art. There's a lot to think about regarding what makes being knowingly deceived fun. The section about Barnum's grossly racist antebellum "missing link" exhibition literally made me sick to my stomach to read. It made me mad that a glossy movie about Barnum was such a big hit when history shows horrific, horrific things he did.
