Pieces Of Culture

Gathering of pieces of the labyrinth of humankind knowledge that I consider worthy of your time.

Those are mostly "offline" material since online material just get linked directly within my work. It is also mostly non-scientific or research work for the same reason. There is no absolute rule regarding the presence or not of something I put here, just material that I enjoyed and would discuss about with great pleasure. For a more analytical approach, refer to my Personal Information Stream.
