I want to draw forum members' attention to two truly wonderful web sites
which save one a lot of time and draw attention to a great deal of
intereting material
Arts and Letters Daily: An updated Report of News and Reviews
http://www.cybereditions.com/aldaily/
philosophy, aesthetics, literature, anguage, ideas, criticism, culture,
history, music, art, trends, breakthroughs, disputes, gossip
Named by the Guardian and Observer as the best web site of 1998
Articles of note, new books, essays & opinion
There is a companion site for science and technology
SciTech Daily
http://SciTechDaily.com/
Publisher's welcome to Arts & Letters Daily:
At this stage in its evolution the Web resembles a typical Australian
goldfield, with vast mountains of low-grade ore. Mining in both cases can
be arduous. On the Internet it means
sifting through endless streams of verbose, under-edited, often
self-indulgent prose, frequently accompanied by those tedious graphics
that negate the "instant information" advantage of the Web.
Precious nuggets of real content are there to be found, however, and it's
the mission of Arts & Letters Daily to extract them for our readers. We
will continue to pan and sift from among the most intellectually
stimulating sites on the Internet, updating daily. We make them available
at a click.
Bookmark this page, let your colleagues and friends in listservs and
egroups know about Arts & Letters Daily - and Welcome!
