Om migI'm a grad student in theoretical particle physics at Boston University. Originally from the Detroit area, I graduated summa cum laude from Amherst College in 2006 with majors in physics, history and mathematics. My main historical interests are the history of Russia and the Soviet Union, as well as the history of socialism, anarchism and communism. At BU I am a member of the high energy theory group and the Center for Computational Science, focusing on lattice gauge theory and dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking.
I am active in the Socialist Party of Boston and the Socialist Party Campaign Clearinghouse. The picture is me, with some input from "friends" using Photoshop. Its original caption was: "David A. Schaich joined the revolution in 1957, upon the demise of his career as an artist's model."
Om mit bibliotekI include here both books I own and those I've read, even if I no longer possess them. I used to include a few books I abandoned partway through, and generally reserved 1-star ratings for them. I've now abandoned that scheme, with the result that my rating system is skewed toward a 2-to-5-star scale.
In 2008 I added a bunch of books still lying around my parent's place, mostly textbooks and childhood books I remember fondly enough not yet to have donated to a public library. I also took the opportunity to double-check editions for other books already listed. In general I haven't tried to determine the correct edition for ebooks in my library.
On my Web site I have 1-3 sentence comments on most of the books in my "Read" collection, but I have only imported a few of the more substantial comments here, for books in my "To Review" collection. My "Reviewed" collection holds the 60 or so books for which I've written longer reviews, which I cross-post to Amazon.

Sometimes I think we are luckier over here than in the US re the whole evolution/id debate which isn't much of a worry here. Do you experience this first hand at all? Then again there are loads of other avenues for fakers, quacks and general nutters over here. Our Health Services spends a fortune on Homeopathy !
I live just a few miles from where three of our home grown 7/7 bombers lived. I think that whole thing has made me decide to be a little more active in speaking up against all forms of absurdity and the fact that religion tends to be a force for the bad guys.
Nice to talk - Mark

thanks for the pointer to that New York Times article - interesting reading.
I always thought I was going to study Physics - but I grew up in the last big recession we had and getting a job offer at 16 was irresitable at the time so I ended up in finance and doing finance exams. I have always retained my interest though and it is sobering to think just how much the field has broadened in the last 20 years."computautional physics" what all that then?
Cheers,

Me again - just had a look at a couple of reviews on your site (Eric Chester and Tariq Ali).
Very good stuff.
I`ll have a look at some of the others when I can find the time.
Best,
Nick

I got here after seeing we shared volume two of Kolakowski's Main Currents of Marxism.
For what it's worth, my edition (OUP paperback, 1981) is not missing pp. 479-510.
If you're interested in Kolakowski, you might like to have a look at 'An open letter to Leszek Kolakowski' by the English historian, E. P. Thompson. It's in his The Poverty of Theory, and other essays. Thompson was an admirer of Kolakowski's early work and, in my opinion, a master of the essay form. If you do get your hands on Poverty of Theory be sure to take a quick look at the pictorial polemic against Althusser!

I too wandered over here to check out your profile after meeting you over on the "DSA/SPUSA" thread.
I like your library, but I must say, I REALLY like the books on our 'shared' list.

I have responded now - though not very well - am recovering from journey back from holiday (stayed on an organic farm in Wales for a week), and, being self-employed, we had to start work again pretty much straight away on our return.
Anyway , thanks again,
Nick
