Euclid’s Elements Review
If I were ever teaching a geometry class, I would not go to McDougal-Little or Pearson or the other big-name textbook publishers, but would instead direct my students to obtain a copy of Euclid’s Elements, and build my curriculum around it.
Post Post-Scarcity
The answer to our human ills does not lie with limitless energy or a post-scarcity society. If anywhere, it lies within us.
Luther the Reformer Review
