Notes Sandbox I teach Michigan, U.S., and world history at Eastern Michigan University. I hold a Ph.D. in the history of science, technology, environment and medicine (STEM) from Case Western Reserve University (2001) with a sub-field in economics. I wrote a dissertation on Progressive Era engineering ideology in educational reforms and the foundation of and U.S. museums of Science and Industry. I am also degreed in Philosophy having written a thesis on Friedrich Nietzsche's aesthetics. My research interests include the ideological and intellectual history of engineering, history of US railroads, interurbans, the Progressive Era, public history, and museums of science and technology.

I teach courses on U.S. & Michigan History, the Twentieth Century world civilization, and the History of the Automobile Industry. I am also experimenting with ways to use Wikipedia for course assignments for my students.

I was the general editor of Eastern Michigan University's experiment in educational wikis, called EDiT: EMU's Digital Textbook from 2008 to 2011.

I also occasionally edit on the STS Wiki, the Wiki for Science, Technology, and Society studies, and the Citizendium.

And always be wary of the general disclaimer. Thank god we have professionals.

From the Chicago Manual of Style questions:

Q. My library shelves are full. I need to make some difficult decisions to make space for new arrivals. Is there any reason to keep my CMOS 14th and 15th editions?

A. What a question. If you had more children, would you give away your firstborn? Find a board and build another shelf.
