Book Report

As I was browsing for books which would relate to our class and contribute to our learning I found a syllabus for another class where required readings were listed.  Needless to say I trust the books to be beneficial to ones education in our digital civilization class.

Shakespeare's The Tempest - This looks interesting because it's from Shakespeare
 

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790)  - This is a series of texts written in imitation of biblical books of prophecy with the author's own personal touch regarding romantic and revolutionary beliefs.  This seems interesting and probably contains metaphors not thought of before because of the different way in which the stories are presented.


Civil Disobedience (1849) - This is an essay that argues people should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that people have a duty to avoid governments using them as agents of injustice.  This looks like an overall good book for all countries to follow.
