Historia
Immanuel Kant taught and wrote prolifically about physical geography yet never traveled further than forty miles from his home in Kvnigsberg. How appropriate it is then that in his philosophy he should deny that all knowledge was derived from experience. He insisted that all experience must conform to knowledge. According to Kant, space and time are subjective; along with various "categories," they help us to see the phenomena of the world, though never its true reality.

Historia
Washington’s End begins where most biographies of George Washington leave off, with the first president exiting office after eight years and entering what would become the most bewildering stage of his life. Embittered by partisan criticism and eager to return to his farm, Washington assumed a role for which there was no precedent at a time when the kings across the ocean yielded their crowns only upon losing their heads. In a different sense, Washington would lose his head, too.

Washington was the first of America’s three indispensable men. The book outlines the fractious nature of politics and what a knave the wife stealing, slave raping coward Thomas Jefferson was.

The dialogue, characters, 1940s Hollywood
Revisado: 01-23-25
No writer evokes LA in the 30s and 40s better than Raymond Chandler. His plots may be haphazard, but his characters and sense of place is superb. Here is Hollywood and its industry. Chandler had wrote screenplays with Billy Wilder and he took Wilder and made him a character in the book. Reading Chandler is always a good use of your time.

What utter trash. This simply a collection of anecdotes, some tangentially related to condos, some not. Obvious advice: for complaints, have a complaint form. For helpful condo advice listen to Matt Leighton’s Condo buying mistakes.
