As I read Battle Cry of Freedom, the Oxford volume on the Civil War, I was constantly struck by how little I knew about the conflict. This was not the case with the installment on the Second World War, Freedom from Fear. Having watched approximately ...more | |

What first drew me to this book (besides its attractive cover) was the seeming absurdity of its premise. The history of science in Spain? That was like writing a history of Yorkshire pudding in Italy—possible, I suppose, but not what the country is e ...more | |

I picked up this book last summer, at a local bookstore, with the virtuous idea of deepening my appreciation for my native place. And though the book did indeed quicken my enjoyment of home, it wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for. I wanted either on ...more | |

The Warren Commission Report: The Official Report of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy

Thanks for the comment! The members of the Wareen Commission certainly did a lot of work. One would hope it was done in good faith.

As a matter of fact, I did know that about the name sherry! Most English names for fortified wines come from the places of importation. They were popular because they hold up better under poor shipping conditions than do regular wines.
![Roy Lotz](https://images.gr-assets.com/users/1719384290p1/14046996.jpg)
And the same to you! Unfortunately, almost everything is closed right now, so we're just puttering around in cafés, haha. But the sherry is excellent! I didn't know this, but "sherry" is named after Jerez, a place in Spain where we are now.

And I think the world-saving is going pretty well!

Hello! My best piece of advice is just to establish a regular routine, and stick to it. But there are many who read a whole lot more than I do!
