Our Continuing Education Series hopes to provide readers with thoughtful consideration of various books, literary pieces, historical events and ideas.In some cases, the manuscripts presented in this Continuing Education series are merely papers or essays written by undergraduate and graduate students assigned certain subjects. In other cases, these pieces are written as non-scholarly musings by people fascinated by certain subjects.Whether trying to determine if an actual book or author is worth your time reading, trying to compare your own thoughts on the subject with others, or simply trying to engage your mind in consideration of certain topics, we believe these pieces will offer useful insights
