More New Offerings from Angelico Press

I had not noticed that these were available, in addition to the latest from Stratford Caldecott -

Our Way and Our Life: Christ in His Mysteries by Blessed Columba Marmion
With Christ - An Anthology of the Writings of Blessed Columba Marmion

A review of one of the last book: Catholic Thursday: With Christ - An Anthology of the Writings of Blessed Columba Marmion

Apparently no one has republished his Christ, the Ideal of the Monk yet.

It looks like the company is distributing works by Wolfgang Smith. (I don't think it is republishing them.) Here is one:
Ancient Wisdom and Modern Misconceptions: A Critique of Contemporary Scientism by Wolfgang Smith

Teaching the Natural Sciences

James Chastek, Classical education and the math/science problem

Re: teaching the natural sciences - I have not seen Dr. Rizzi's textbook yet - it might be useful for secondary level students. I think beyond learning the general principles of the natural sciences, students should become familiar with living things that are relevant to their own lives - animals and plants they eat, and so on. As for non-living things - some knowledge of certain chemicals/substances, but any modelling will be educated opinion. Even the use of experiments may lead only to educated opinion, at best, and so we should probably resign ourselves to the limits to the knowledge we who do not have the laboratory or materials can obtain through the analysis to elements, etc.



A book has been written based on his text - First Physics, by Murray Daw. (St. Augustine's Press)

Just saw this blog, again - no recent entries - Real Physics TM.
