Colophon
The animal on the cover of Calm Technology is a Sunda slow loris (Nycticebus coucang), an arboreal primate found throughout the tropical rainforests of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. These solitary animals are often referred to as malu-malu, the Indonesian word for “shy.”
The Sunda slow loris measures about 11 to 15 inches long. It has a round head with large, dark-rimmed eyes separated by a white strip of fur ending at the nose. Its thick, woolly coat is brown in color, and features a dark stripe that runs from the back of its head along its spine. It also has a vestigial tail.
The slow loris is nocturnal, sleeping on tree branches curled up in a tight ball. Its diet includes tree sap, floral nectar, and fruit. The species is at serious risk of extinction due to hunting for the exotic pet trade and habitat loss.
Many of the animals on O’Reilly covers are endangered; all of them are important to the world. To learn more about how you can help, go to animals.oreilly.com.
The cover image is an animal illustration by Karen Montgomery, based on an engraving from Meyers Kleines Lexicon. The cover fonts are URW Typewriter and Guardian Sans. The text font is Scala Regular; and the heading font is Gotham Narrow Medium.
