loppear reviewed Vectors and Smoothable Curves by William Bronk
here for the first half
4 stars
Reality is indefinitely separate from our actual experience, our senses of progress and our identities. The short "The New World" essays are stunning philosophical reflections, the bulk is summary commentary on Thoreau, Whitman, and Melville as they conceive of human society which was more dependent on my taste for those voices but still smart.
