[ISBN: 0231067518] The big, big patterns TylerVolk identifies are things like circle, border, and pair. This book is firmly in the Platonic tradition of searching for Ideals. I found it to be devoid of insight- I don't really care that eyeballs are circles and so is the sun. Big thoughts, no impact. OTOH, if it pissed me off enough to make a WikiPage for it, it might have been worth reading. --KentBeck ---- What is supposed to be 'Meta' about a circle anyway? ''Meta-circle''?!
