About meI'm an Ex-Academic, with special interest in Early Modern Europe. My (unfinished) dissertation was on academic traditionalism in 17th century Spain. I'm currently a history teacher and a school administrator. I've lived along the Atlantic Seaboard and spent a fair amount of time traveling in Germany, the U.K., Spain, and India.

About my libraryMy library started out largely as my graduate school reading collection on Early Modern Europe, but has expanded to reflect my professional experience as a teacher and administrator. As such, there's an odd mix of history, philosophy, math, pedagogy and the like.
