The Woman Citizen
This is one of the more interesting books in our library. It came into our collection through my wife, who presumably got this whilst attending college in Boston, though its exact origin is unknown.

First, was money. Macs are expensive. When a $500.00 laptop has essentially the same guts as a $1500.00 Macbook [...]

Amazing Talent

I recall a line that Alain De Botton quoted in his wonderful work, The Architecture of Happiness. He’d quoted an architect who’s name escapes me (and since this is a blog - I’m not obliged to look it up), who said — and I paraphrase — ‘When I visit America, I carry a flower in [...]
