Book Review: The Humanities and Public Life

June 17, 2014 by Bob Trube No Comments

The Humanities and Public Life edited by Peter Brooks with Hilary Jewett (Bronx: Fordham University Press, 2014). My rating: 3 of 5 stars. There is no question but that the humanities are under fire.

Star Trek: The Right Stuff?

May 14, 2009 by Tom Grosh IV 7 Comments
