They propose a “universal limit on technological development” as a solution to Fermi’s paradox based upon a notion of diminishing research returns and increasing civilizational complexity.
Genesis Review
It probably sounds terribly sacrilegious, but the God in Genesis feels like a God who is sort of figuring things out as He goes.
Prose Edda Review
At a glance, the Edda is not so different from other mythologies, like those of Greece, Egypt, Sumer, and so forth. A glancing view, though, is really a way of looking at a subject through the lens of a previous understanding, rather than acquiring a new and independent understanding of the subject.
The Dragon Waiting Review
A few, core, what-if questions form the foundation of Ford’s genre-blending The Dragon Waiting. The most important is what if Byzantium adopted a policy of religious toleration instead of Christianity? Oh, and what if there were vampires and wizards, too?
Destiny of the Republic Review
Even putting aside my desire for it to be a more comprehensive biography of Garfield, Destiny of the Republic is a somewhat confused book that never really lives up to its grandiose title, nor successfully makes its main argument.
Creativity is Overrated
Lewis asserts that medieval artists would see the drive for creativity and originality in art as, not the pinnacle of artistic achievement, but the scraping of the bottom of the artistic barrel.
The Discarded Image Review
It is about informing our understanding of our modern world, of the ideas we continue to echo, and of the assumptions which we make without questioning, without realizing they are assumptions at all, so fundamental are they to how we view the world.
Canterbury Tales Review
More even than other historical works, it is a true portal to the past, replete with everything that implies for the historian, the author, the worldbuilder, and the simply curious.
A Story as Sharp as a Knife Review
The book spends more time on Bringhurst’s analysis, philosophizing, and linguistic and cultural musings than it does actually presenting Haida stories.
American Catholic Review
Perhaps of the greatest interest in American Catholic is the acknowledgement of some of the foundations, largely from the political and cultural movements of the 1960s, of the modern tensions between establishment and exercise.
