excellence without a soul

Harvard University is one of the most prestigious ivy leagues in the US. I found this book that seems to talk about the moral decline in the university-- well as the term 'soul' implies. I am just starting to read it, curious how the author, the former dean, is seeing the university from an inside look. Hopefully, i can get good insights on how education and its, sort of, culture changed in Harvard, and see if we can use some of the author's insight in viewing our own Education here in the Philippines.

I can't wait to finish the book! =)

Faster Than The Speed of Light

Found a good book the other day.

"Faster Than The Speed of Light" by Joao Magueijo, a Portugese Physicists, who speculated that in order to answer the many problems and loop holes that Big Bang Theory has, they have to break one sacred physics rule: the constancy of the speed of light, proposed by the genius himself, Albert Eisntein.

I'm particularly excited about this book, because my lectures at the beginning of my semester revolved around some scientific findings on how to discount the Big Bang Theory, which would imply different workable theory that will tie up some of the loop holes on the 'horizon problem', closer to what most Christians Scientists believed and have been proposing for the past years.

I'm thrilled to find the book in a stack of second hand bookstore. ^^

..and excited to read through it for the rest of this semestral break as i prepare for my lessons next semester. Let's see what this book has to say. =)

I am grateful for the existence of these stores. It's making my love for books 'affordable'. ^^
