Short and Concise Book

I was continually surprised by the many aspects the writer brought to the subject. Starting in the solitude of the woods, Martin explores so many fascinating side trips in our modern world.

Unique

I thoroughly enjoyed this work by Martin K. Ettington. I found it imaginative and repeatedly thought-provoking. In an age of narcissistic flamboyance and overly-emotive histrionics and drama, Mr. Martin reminds the listener that there is endless beauty to be found and become fascinated by in relative simplicity and the understated. It is a unique and gracefully eloquent work worthy of your time.

Super Book

This is a book that values the act of seeing, hearing, reflecting over the contemporary value of being seen. In an age where technology drives one toward the constant curating of one's identity, Martin asks if we aren't better served by looking within to find one's true identity.

Great Book

What a unique approach to invisibility and the myriad of ways it is "viewed" and interpreted. Each chapter takes on a new definition of invisibility.

Good Author

Martin K. Ettington covers the natural, and the unnatural- very thoughtful and well written. While I mourn my privacy in this electronic age, I find solace in a fine book like this one.

Informative

The information about scientific/design methods for invoking invisibility was fascinating & gives one cause to pause about how perception can be manipulated. I love this book and plan to read it again. There are a few books I read every year - this book has its spot on that shelf.
