My installment on Rachel Miller’s next chapter will be brief. What I want to do is explain how the structure of her thesis is hopeless, and this should only take a few minutes. In the next chapter, ...
Book of the Month/November 2019
This month my selection is a book that has been on my shelves for quite a while, but which I recently pulled down and read.
