Is it me or is the diagram for osmosis wrong on page 29? In osmosis, water travels across a semipermeable membrane from a lower concentrated solute environment to a higher concentrated solute environment since the probability of crossing the membrane is greater in the former case with less molecules getting in the way. The diagram however appears to show the reverse.

I agree. I had the same thought. Glad it wasn't just me!
Update: I found an interview at https://tim.blog/2018/10/04/the-tim-f... and realized - the TEXT is actually wrong (last line of paragraph 2 on this page). Illustration is wrong, BUT actually does match the (incorrect) text

I think you're right, in fact I found your comment because I was searching to see if anyone else had noticed and commented on it. I think MacNaughton flubbed that illustration and no one at Simon & Schuster caught it.

I agree. I was struck by this as well and didn't seem to go along with what I learned many, many years ago.
