On a busy weekend I can only post quick links, but this is an especially appropriate weekend for you to check out the usual source of my book news: Arts & Letters Daily (their main page is here.) The founder of Arts & Letters Daily, philosopher Denis Dutton, died this week at the age of 66. This on-line resource survives him, now sponsored by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
And history book news can always be found from Ralph Luker at Cliopatria.
