Bill Benzon is on page 194 of 343 of Geometry of Meaning: Semantics Based on Conceptual Spaces
This is THE book to read if you're interested in natural language semantics. It treats the dynamics of communication as integral to the study of semantics rather than as something external to it. The OLD way: we've got this sophisticated linguistics system with complex semantics and, oh, BTW, we can use it to communicate. The NEW was: because we can communicate, we CAN build this complicated linguistics system.

Fascinating stories about being civil rights lawyer in Mississippi in the late 1960s. I've finished.

Bill Benzon is reading Graffiti New York
For what it is, it's pretty good. Another graff book w/ good pictures, a glossary, a run-down of tags, throws, pieces, etc. But also, it's got a nice section on the community.,
