Talk with Jones
"At the curtain take a bow New Haven"

I teach US history at Eastern Michigan University. I hold a Ph.D. in the history of science, technology, environment and medicine (STEM) from Case Western Reserve University (2001) with a sub-field in economics. I wrote a dissertation on Progressive Era engineering ideology in educational reforms. I am also degreed in Philosophy having written a thesis on Friedrich Nietzsche's aesthetics. My research interests include the ideological and intellectual history of engineering, history of US railroads, interurbans, the Progressive Era, Public History, and Museums of Science and Technology.

In July 2011, EDiT suffered a critical failure and is down for the time being.

I've been a editor in the history group since 2007. I have served on the old Editorial Council and helped shepherd the subgroups policy through. I served also on the Charter drafting committee and was elected the first Chair of the Management Council. My term in office ended July 1, 2011.

I am also the general editor of the Michigan Transportation History wiki.

Reflecting on the East Arm, Grand Traverse Bay, Michigan, 2007.

-Q. My library shelves are full. I need to make some difficult decisions to make space for new arrivals. Is there any reason to keep my CMOS 14th and 15th editions?
-A. What a question. If you had more children, would you give away your firstborn? Find a board and build another shelf.
---Exactly.
