I have just read a wonderful article about blogger Maria Popova, who has established ‘Brain Pickings’, an online platform to hold golden moments of inspiration that she has drawn from books. Popova believes in a self governed education, and her writings are described to be, as though she is standing beside a bookshelf and describing with great enthusiasm what exactly it is that she loves about a specific book and how it has changed her world. Popova therefore creates moments, entryways in to understand incredible literature and ideas. Brain Pickings is full of pieces spanning art, design, science, technology, philosophy, history, politics, psychology, sociology, ecology, anthropology, and more. I love it, go there now and be amazed xx http://www.brainpickings.org
