eThoughts : The Age of Ignorance?

eThoughts : The Practice of Seeing Reality
Part of the series Conversations™ (© 2006), a division of Book-In-A-Drawer Publications.™ It is my thought that, like medical doctors, academic doctors, especially in the behavioral sciences and humanities, should call their work a practice.
