Sebastian (a lady) Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I was listening to SWB's lecture on science in the classical curriculum this week. She mentions a reading list of science books recommended for rhetoric level and adults. I'm not finding this in the site resources section. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of this reading list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Perhaps she's referring to the list in the science section of the WTM. There's two really, one on p. 515 and one on pp 521 - 524 (I have the 1999 edition.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I was making it more complicated than it needed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
