Fine critique of US (and therefore British) foreign policy

Beautiful and Fascinating
I recently got this book out of the library in order to teach a poem on Gerard Manley Hopkins, one of the writers Buechner discusses in the text. I was astonished at Buechner's incredible diction, phrasing, and word pictures. I had not read anything else of his before, ...

I didn't know that!
A fascinating book! Every page is full of interesting things I didn't know (and never thought to ask). What sort of "safety features" actually make driving more dangerous? Why does the Los Angeles traffic control system take account of the Hebrew calendar? How do cows ...
What Do We Mean When We Say God?
Deidre A. Sullivan
Doubleday

One of my very favorite little books

Must We Mean What We Say?: A Book of Essays
Stanley Cavell
Cambridge University Press
, 2002
Stanley Cavell's Place in History
I've never met Professor Stanley Cavell, and though I've emailed him he has obviously been too busy to respond. Nevertheless, in my view, his books will be read long after many philosophers of the twentieth century are buried and forgotten. The reason can be summed ...
Here's What We'll Say: Growing Up, Coming Out, and the U.S. Air Force Academy
Reichen Lehmkuhl
Carroll & Graf
, 2006
True to the spirit of that era
I lived in Colorado Springs during the late 1980s, and I had a cousin who graduated from the Academy in 1992, so I'm familiar with the culture of both the city and the Academy during the general time period that Reichen was a cadet. While he obviously had to use ...
