This book review summarizes the key ideas from the book "Ambient Findability" by Peter Morville. The book challenges existing ideas about how people use information and finds that findability must precede usability. It discusses concepts like metadata, tagging, folksonomies and how language and descriptions impact findability. While the book contains useful discussions on information architecture and findability, the review notes it could have been more concise as it contains some redundant information.
