As indicated by my subtitle, this book is an adventure in the subjects commonly studied in the humanities or the liberal arts curriculum that I pursued at the University of Chicago. Each capriccio can be enjoyed, on the one hand, as fun and, on the other hand, to explore the range and breadth of a traditional liberal arts education. The book also can be didactic and can teach and expand a thoughtful person's vocabulary.
