Abstract
This is an essay review of Jill North's book Physics, Structure, and Reality. I focus on just two of the main topics of the book. The first is North's idea that we can use coordinates as a window into the structure that a theory posits. The second is North's argument for the inequivalence of Lagrangian and Newtonian mechanics.
