pickInteresting book (500+ pages) I would have liked to read more slowly, but the library wanted it back.
Science and religion are not the mutually-unintelligible strangers/enemies they're often assumed to be, but more like siblings who at various times support and want to throttle one another, with frequent squabbles over house room. NS has it all boil down to two questions: "What is the nature of man?"* and "Who has the authority to decide?"

A beautiful work that results in provoking deep thought about the ideas that drove societies, key historical figures, and governments through time. Herman invites the reader to take stock of what ideas and world views are driving your daily decisions."

"The catastrophes of the 20th century arose not because men argued too much but because they gave up arguing at all."

pickComplete your graphic novel bingo with this book about Percy Bysshe Shelley‘s famous Peterloo poem that doubles as a mini biography of women‘s labor activist Pauline Newman. 🔥
From my academic background in intellectual history I am well acquainted with Erasmus. To be honest, I always thought him a tyrant and a bit of a twat. This certainly does NOT do anything to rehabilitate his character. Sadly, this is still a rather common view of education for girls here in AMERICA (but also in England).
