Amazing! A highly original and thought provoking website. A rare gem among the cut-&-paste contents in the WWW. What's more its "Made-in-Singapore"! Hurray!

Hi, I was just reading your article from last December on E.H. Carr. The book completely shattered my convictions about history as well. Carr was mainly arguing against the "scientific" view of history, as you probably know from the book, "scientific" historians were those who believed in the sanctity of historical facts. It was interesting to hear your point of view as a non-History major. Did you get a book recommendation from someone who studied history? I am quite amazed that anyone who didn't take history as a subject would actually know about E.H. Carr:) It's interesting also that you disagreed with Carr on the point that archaelogical evidence would aid the study of history because archaelogy is also quite a dodgy field of study itself since it is also very much premised on the interpretation of subjective individuals! Apologies to the archaelogists who might be reading this... Hmm, and as your disclaimer goes, you're only stating your own pov as someone who hasn't read history. I guess mine would be that I was a history major and have so much to say only because I have been "trained" to think critically about these arguments... Thank you for setting up a great website:) and for bearing with this terribly long entry.

A good website. I will come back to it to find out what books I should be reading. Is there any particular area that you would like me to contribute an opinion or two?

Hello. Charming site you have. I will direct my students to it. You ask: "Anyway, what has "red herring" got to do with the technology magazine, RedHerring." The answer is given in the print edition, but I did not see it in the web edition. The magazine is primarily about investing in technology, so what they have in mind is the meaning of "red herring" in financial terms. Here is one of many definitions given on the web: Red Herring A preliminary registration statement describing the issue(IPO) and prospects of the company that must be filled with the SEC or provincial securities commission. There is no price or issue size stated in the red herring. Red Herring's are sometimes updated several times before it is called the final prospectus. It is known as a red herring because it contains a statement in red that the company is not attempting to sell their shares before the registration is approved by the SEC." (Baystreet)

Very cool site!! (Especially because you include a review of Eric Hoffer's book "True Believer"). May I suggest the book "Basic Economics," by Thomas Sowell (of the Hoover Institute)--an outstanding lay explanation of economic principles. Blessings!
