  1. A Study Guide For Human Soci\u00adety, Part 1<\/a> (Tan\u00adner Greer, The Scholar\u2019s Stage): \u201c\u2026there are two meth\u00adods [for find\u00ading good his\u00adto\u00adry books] in par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar I have often have use\u00adful. The first is to Google syl\u00adlabi. If you are inter\u00adest\u00aded in the his\u00adto\u00adry of the Roman Repub\u00adlic, Google \u2018Roman Repub\u00adlic syl\u00adlabus\u2019 and see what pops up. Read a few cours\u00ades and see what books are includ\u00aded. Alter\u00adna\u00adtive\u00adly, if you just read a book you thought was par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly good, put its title into Google and then the word \u2018syl\u00adlabus\u2019 after\u00adwards and see what oth\u00ader read\u00adings col\u00adlege pro\u00adfes\u00adsors have paired with that book in their cours\u00ades.\u201d I just found this blog and am lov\u00ading it.<\/li>\n
  2. When Faith Comes Up, Stu\u00addents Avert Their Eyes<\/a> (Michael Roth, The Atlantic): \u201cAs a non\u00adbe\u00adliev\u00ader myself, I am not try\u00ading to con\u00advert any stu\u00addent to any reli\u00adgion. Yet how to dis\u00adcuss reli\u00adgious faith in class pos\u00ades a major chal\u00adlenge for non\u00adre\u00adli\u00adgious col\u00adleges and uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adties. How can such an insti\u00adtu\u00adtion claim to edu\u00adcate stu\u00addents about ideas, cul\u00adture, and ways of life if stu\u00addents, pro\u00adfes\u00adsors, or both are uncom\u00adfort\u00adable when talk\u00ading about some\u00adthing that\u2019s been cen\u00adtral to human\u00adi\u00adty through\u00adout record\u00aded his\u00adto\u00adry?\u201d Roth is a his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adan and the pres\u00adi\u00addent of Wes\u00adleyan Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty. Rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded by an alum\u00adnus.<\/li>\n
  3. The Pint-Size Nation off the Eng\u00adlish Coast<\/a> (Ian Urbina, The Atlantic): \u201cThough no coun\u00adtry for\u00admal\u00adly rec\u00adog\u00adnizes Sealand, its sov\u00ader\u00adeign\u00adty has been hard to deny. Half a dozen times, the British gov\u00adern\u00adment and assort\u00aded oth\u00ader groups, backed by mer\u00adce\u00adnar\u00adies, have tried and failed to take over the plat\u00adform by force.\u201d Rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded by a stu\u00addent. Very enter\u00adtain\u00ading.<\/li>\n
  4. Elite Fail\u00adure Has Brought Amer\u00adi\u00adcans to the Edge of an Exis\u00adten\u00adtial Cri\u00adsis<\/a> (Derek Thomp\u00adson, The Atlantic): \u201cWhat Amer\u00adi\u00adcans young and old are aban\u00addon\u00ading is not so much the promise of fam\u00adi\u00adly, faith, and nation\u00adal pride as the trust that America\u2019s exist\u00ading insti\u00adtu\u00adtions can be relied on to pro\u00advide for them.\u201d\n
