TonySeb's Commonplace Blog

I post here as one would post entries in a commonplace book: "a book of literary passages, cogent quotations, occasional thoughts, or other memorabilia" --[Merriam-Webster 3rd International]. I post, with excerpts and links, on topics of personal interest: nutrition, evolution, human physiology, cognition, language, the energy crisis, recently read books, and consciousness. "Occasional thoughts" may sometimes take the form of poems I've written and favorite quotations from the literature.

To Wonder

Initially I wrote this as a prose sentence in an article I'm writing for Citizendium. Later I saw it as a poem. Citizendium - Life_Draft

The Admirals

The Admirals: Nimitz, Halsey, Leahy, and King—the Five-Star Admirals Who Won the War at Sea

The Admirals: Nimitz, Halsey, Leahy, and King—the Five-Star Admirals Who Won the War at Sea by Walter R. Borneman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Four biographies integrated, personalitïes compared and contrasted, history of the U.S. Navy WWII--more. Detailed, thoughtful, coherent, graceful.

A winner.
