This is some truly exceptional work by outstanding scholars - I invite you all to subscribe to the website. It's less that $5 per month, which is a steal. In addition to the monthly journal, there are many other components to the site including community forums and a student portal jammed packed with useful information. And coming in a week or so...The site will feature a Creative Culture segment featuring art, fiction, and poetry, available only to subscribers. So stay tuned - this feature will cause quite a stir I am certain.

Here are a few more images from this month's journal...

With compliments,

Keith
