Reviews

"These essays provide food for the soul, the mind, and the spirit in these disruptive, chaotic, oftentimes brutal and exponentially irresolute times. Nosotros badly demand such reaffirmation of the importance of informed citizenship in despotic times. We also demand a adjacent generation to be amend educated to understand the moral, social, intellectual, and ethical dimensions of a digital historic period run amok….It is to the liberal arts that we turn for those consolations, insights, and abiding man powers. It is to these essays that I invite you, now, to turn and be inspired."
