About meI teach World History (a two-year curriculum) at the high school level. I work with great students, colleagues, and parents. My historical interests are varied and somewhat off the beaten path. I've decided that it's time to radically streamline and simplify my life, so my ongoing project is to digitize all of my media and then part with the original sources.

"Every age has its own outlook. It is especially good at seeing certain truths and especially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need the books that will correct the characteristic mistakes of our own period. And that means the old books." ~ C.S. Lewis

About my libraryMy personal library is heavy with readings for my vocation. Beyond that, there is some related material such as philosophy, theology, education, politics, warfare, and so on. I am in the seemingly never-ending process of logging my books by ISBN. This has become a sort of unpleasant hobby. I hope the LibraryThing server is backed up!
