First, this blog replaces my previous blog, thecosmoplitanlawyerblogspot.com . Second, unlike that earlier blog, the present one is primarily meant as a record of my readings. It is not meant to suggest that others will be or should be interested in what I read. And third, in a sense, it is a public diary of one who is an alien in his own American culture. A person who feels at home just about anywhere, except in his birthplace . . . America.

Michael E. Hobart, The Great Rift: Literacy, Numeracy, and the Religion-Science Divide (Cambridge, Massachusetts, & London, England: Harvard University Press, 2018) ("This book uses the history of information technology--in particular, the shift from alphabetic literacy to modern numeracy--to narrate and explain the origins of the contemporary rift between science and religion." Id. at ix.).
