• Be warned that the selection of poetry is highly constrained by copyright and my preference for rhyme and wit. • The essays are my own musing on assorted topics, while the authors are the few I feel qualified to recommend through having read pretty much everything they have written. • The geography materials are a selection from those I developed during 29 years of university-level instruction; their evolution mostly stopped in 1999, the year I retired, and in some it shows. • The content that passes for wit is mainly stuff that was grabbed as it went by in e-mails. |
