Synopsis: This daily digest of intellectual challenge and learning
will arouse curiosity, refresh knowledge, expand horizons, and keep the mind
sharp. Millions of Americans keep bedside books of prayer and
meditative reflection--collections of daily passages to stimulate spiritual
thought and advancement. The Intellectual Devotional is a secular version of
the same--a collection of 365 short lessons that will inspire and invigorate
the reader every day of the year. Each daily digest of wisdom is drawn from one
of seven fields of knowledge: history, literature, philosophy, mathematics and
science, religion, fine arts, and music. (from the online descriptions)Review: This was a fabulous book! I kept it in my purse as my "line book" - the book I read while waiting for things. I enjoyed the subjects chosen - opera, science, philosophy, history, paintings. For anyone how enjoys knowledge, fact, or Jeopardy - this is the book for you. It's perfect for a short reads, for livening the mind, or for learning fun facts to dazzle (or bore) your friends. The only thing I'd changed is more modern music history - jazz or big band, or even rock and roll! I ended up buy the the American History edition to read now that I'm finished with this one. I anticipate it being just as good!
