Westminster Books is having a clearance sale, discounting books they have too many of.

Yosemite Natural Firefall 2016

The Un-Resume

I like this: “In an exercise in humility, I would like to pull back part of the curtain by writing a resume not of my accomplishments and successes, but of my failures—for this too is a significant part of who I am (and who I am not), giving perhaps a more balanced perspective on the life of an academic.”
