Today’s shelfie. Books that came off the office shelves for the purpose of teaching and in conversation with students. A good day, and a full one.

A stack of various books, including works by authors like Machiavelli and Margaret Fuller, and including several editions of the Bhagavad Gita, a work on the history of Greek mathematics, the U.S. Constitution, the Federalist Papers, and collections of works in Transcendentalism and American philosophies is neatly arranged.
