Book excerpt: Perhaps, the noblest aspect of a scholar's life is the pursuit of truth and beauty. For it is often within the search for truth and beauty, that we find connections and meaning. Path of a Scholar invites you to walk along with the author, as he personally explores the various connections and meaning found amongst thought provoking and often inspirational words. What follows is an intriguing dichotomy of introspection and observation, emotion and logic, speculation and fact. All of the "Thought Vignettes" in this collection begin with a quote, some well known and others obscure, before proceeding with a probing and insightful discourse. Each vignette is a literary archeological dig site where the layers of interrelation and meaning are examined with the disciplines of philosophy, art, science, and history.
