Revisiting Durkheim
Posted in :-) From the editor, tagged demographics, Emile Durkheim, essay, european history, ideas, sociology, suicide on August 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Here’s another essay written while I was an undergraduate at Trent University in the 1980s.
Now converted into PDF, it was originally written on a prototypical Atari computer–one of the first PCs to hit the market, with an external floppy drive (those big, old floppies) and a b&w TV for a monitor.
The subject matter is an [...]
Revisiting Marx
Posted in :-) From the editor, Society, tagged college, essay, karl marx, marxism, sociology, university on August 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This essay on Marxist theory was written in the 1980s when I was an undergraduate at Trent University.
Part of the pleasure in resurrecting it here involved learning how to best convert scanned text to PDF, watermarking, and so on.
Who would have imagined in 1985 that I’d be able to post this for the whole world [...]

Learning the fine art of the Tweet
Posted in :-) From the editor, News, tagged best, earthpages, odd, twitter, vacation on May 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It may seem like we’ve been on vacation for the past few days. In a sense we have been. I’m out of the city, in a beautiful rural town which happens to have a great wireless connection.
While it’s not exactly the place to watch and review DVDs or update old articles (activities I’ve been doing [...]
Review – Images and Symbols by Mircea Eliade
Posted in :-) From the editor, Books, Reviews, religion, tagged eliade, myth, symbols on April 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is the last of a long line of books by the celebrated Romanian scholar, Mircea Eliade, that have found their way into my library.
I’ve been familiar with Images and Symbols for quite some time, having browsed its pages at libraries and first run bookstores before finding an inexpensive secondhand copy.
For years I found the [...]
