Customer Reviews:
An Amazing and Rewarding Book
By E. Schell - November 21, 2009This is an absolutely stunning book, not only lavishly illustrated but superbly designed with an engaging layout, thousands of photos, drawings, and illustrations, and a crisp, readable, entertaining (yet scholarly) text that ranges from introductory paragraphs and pithy labels to informed and informative sidebars.
I have to say right up front that at the Amazon price of $16.17, this book is an outrageous steal! It has coffee-table heft, is printed on heavy matte stock with rich inks, and sports a sewn-signature binding with cloth header strips with red and black stripes that match the book's cover colors. The hardbound cover matches the dust jacket, and the endpapers are an intriqsing amalgam of many of the symbols in the book.
This book is about so much more than "codes" or cryptography, although these subjects, of course, are very amply addressed. The book's thirteen chapters cover:

UIF CPPL PG DPEFT
By R. Hardy "Rob Hardy" - December 30, 2009When I picked up _The Book of Codes: Understanding the World of Hidden Messages_ (University of California Press), edited by Paul Lunde, I thought I would be getting an explanation of different forms of cryptography, and perhaps the importance of secret messages in warfare, commerce, and diplomacy. I got all that, but the book takes off on the many meanings of the word "code." I hadn't thought about this before, but in his introduction, Lunde points out that "code" certainly can mean secret means of communication. It can also, in an almost opposite meaning, refer to an open and widely accepted means of communication, like a code of conduct or a dress code. There are other codes that used to be hidden to us until we used science to understand them, like the genetic code. Languages and writing systems meant for open communication are codes, but dead languages are particular cryptographic problems. Maps and signs are pictorial codes. There are plenty of other types of codes, and... read more
The Book of Codes, Symbols, Pictures, Trivia, Errors
By Charles Bradley - July 6, 2010"The Book of Codes" is a well made book, but the content is not worth the
effort that went into presenting it. The problems start on the cover. What
appears to be the subtitle is "Understanding the World of Hidden Messages".
Most of the material in the book is about symbols, and most of that is about
symbols that are intended to be seen and to be understood. The sub-subtitle
is "An Illustrated Guide to Signs, Symbols, Ciphers, and Secret Languages".
We have page after page of topics such as cave paintings, the stone age version
of "Kilroy was here.", stop signs from different countries, crop circles, and
the history of computer memory technology. Much of the material applies to
codes as symbolism, so we get examples from painting, literature, any many
religions. Much of the material applies to codes as organized bodies of rules
so we get informed about the Napoleonic Code, and building codes. Even mathematics
is a code. The... read more
