Optimal Sight Lines: Blog Subject Recap for July

Whenever possible, I've tried to append entries with related Library of Congress Subject Headings. These headings are links that take you deep into the "controlled vocabulary" that is the heart of the Library's online catalog. George Steiner (in a 1973 essay titled "After the Book?") went so far as to say that a library's catalog "enacts a formalized vision of how the world is put together, of what are the optimal sight-lines between the human mind and phenomenological totality." Phenomenological totality may or may not change, but the human mind does, thus Library of Congress Subject Headings do too...so, there is some (obvious) variance between common usage and the headings.

Here are the "optimal sight lines" for July (in no particular order).
