[I said yesterday](https://thedailyeudemon.com/4749/) that I hadn't received [**ISI Books'**](http://www.isi.org/books/index.aspx?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) most-recent catalogue. I was wrong. It came yesterday (maybe Monday, since I didn't check Monday's mail until last night). The [Tory Anarchist](http://toryanarchist.wordpress.com/2006/06/20/cataloging/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) is right: it's a good one. Merely reading the catalogue is an education. Especially appealing:

*[Look Homeward, America](http://www.isi.org/books/bookdetail.aspx?id=eeadf8af-e454-4428-8379-8bc636bd1b0f&ref=thedailyeudemon.com)*, by Bill Kauffman  
*[The Life of the Mind](http://www.isi.org/books/bookdetail.aspx?id=ef780213-9c15-4bc6-8a82-c6e480d0aab4&ref=thedailyeudemon.com)*, by James V. Schall  
*[Michael Polanyi: The Art of Knowing](http://www.isi.org/books/bookdetail.aspx?id=26604cb2-dd79-4c2b-ab6d-8dff38213bdc&ref=thedailyeudemon.com)*, by Mark T. Mitchell

The Polanyi book is the sixth book in ISI's Library of Modern Thinkers Series. I've read the first five (de Jouvenel, Nisbet, Roepke, Von Mises, and Voegelin), and they were all excellent. I look forward to reading about Polanyi. He's a fascinating thinker, but not terribly accessible to the un-initiated (of which I am one). I tried *Personal Knowledge*, but it was like chewing through a wall of roast beef: good, but hard. I tried a biography, which helped, but only a little. Hopefully, this new book will help a lot.
