Don't Mourn, But Celebrate...
Daniel Boorstein, a former librarian of congress and one of my favorite authors, died today.
No scandal, no trama - he was 89 years old.
Boorstein is to history what Carl Sagan was to science - each made it accessible, interesting, readable. How about that?
The Disoverers is one of my all-time favorite books; it's about...discoveries. I loved it. Read it.
