At Salon, Laura praises Skulls by Simon Winchester ($13.99), a newish app from Touch Press, the company responsible for The Elements and the special iPad edition of T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land.
“The ever-debonair Winchester, bestselling author of The Professor and the Madman, not only wrote the text that accompanies the app’s 300 rotatable images of human and animal skulls (as well as artifacts representing the human head) — he also reads it. The result is informative and thoughtful as well as gorgeous and diverting,” she says. “More, please.”
