Errata

All copies printed before the end of 2020:

On page 172, at the end of the third bullet point, "above" ought to read "below".

In addition, the first edition of the hardback includes numerous typos, for which we apologize, plus an unintelligible figure caption. On page 73, the caption ought to read:

Geometrical perspective shows lines converging in the distance. Converging horizontal lines often look natural, as they do with the Chinese funerary army above, but converging vertical lines are another story. They make the Taiwanese temple below appear to be falling over backwards. "Accurate" vertical perspective usually looks so bizarre that artists commonly straighten converging vertical lines.8
