Modernity Ain’t All That Bad
For the past couple days we have been having problems with our hot water. The heater broke, we have replaced parts but have not hit the jackpot until this morning. Turns out there was a recall on the lower thermometer that led to problems in the upper. Both need to be replaced. [...]
Caleb’s Review at ISI’s First Principles
Caleb’s review of Jason Peters, ed. Wendell Berry: Life and Work
If you have not done so already, you really need to bookmark First Principles. It is the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s new web journal.

Is Global Warming More Than Hot Air?
This month’s Reformed Presbyterian Witness, DRC’s mother institution, highlights the continuing debate over “global warming.”
Witness articles are not on-line but a link to a paper from Cal Beisner’s Cornwall Alliance provides a negative assessment of the claims associated with the global warming “consensus.” Dr. Beisner’s Witness article essential reviews and updates the linked [...]
