Toll’s Pacific War trilogy—an excellent counterpart to Rick Atkinson’s Liberation Trilogy, which covers the American war effort in the European Theater: Finished this yesterday and am looking forward to eventually reading the conclusion of Toll’s trilogy about the Pacific Theater. For some reason I seem to favor war and cultural histories for my morning breakfast books. Started this one today—all too timely, unfortunately, given the fascist evil that Putin has unleashed against Ukraine: Edited March 12, 2022 by ghost of miles Quote

Pim Posted March 29, 2022 Report Posted March 29, 2022 I am a high school teacher. The main subject I teach are social studies ( I thinks that's the English term for it). It's about politics, media, sociology and crime. This year we have started a philosophy pilot. I am one of the two teachers. Philosophy has always had my interest and I once followed a course but I really need to read stuff again to be capable to explain things clearly to my students. Kant is one of the philosophers that is treated a lot. It's fascinating stuff but also a difficult read. It's even more difficult to explain in an accesible way to my students. But I love it. Quote
