Tav dropped a backpack at Kiki's feet. She patted him then rummaged through her stash.
"Map and compass? Check!" She addressed Tav. "We're in the stone age, boy." She rummaged more but found nothing. As an android, she traveled light. Still she needed some creature comforts.
She gave Tav a sad look. He raised his ears, bolted a few feet away, and returned with her damp, tattered, signed copy of The Better Angels by Steven D. #Brewer.
She held it to her heart and sighed with contentment.

#Holly #Brewer is Burke Professor of American History and Associate Professor at the University of Maryland.

She is a specialist in early American history and the early British empire as well as early modern debates about justice.

Her first book traced the origin and impact of "democratical" ideas across  the empire by examining debates about who can consent in theory and legal practice: 
By Birth or Consent: Children, Law, and the Anglo-American Revolution in Authority.

is currently finishing a book that examines the origins of American slavery in larger political and ideological debates:

It is tentatively entitled
"Slavery & Sovereignty in Early America and the British Empire,”
for which she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2014.

She published part of it as "Slavery, Sovereignty and 'Inheritable Blood': Reconsidering John Locke and the Origins of American Slavery" 
in the American Historical Review (October 2017).

Also see her “Slavery-Entangled Philosophy: Does Locke’s Entanglement with Slavery Undermine his Philosophy?” AEON, September 12, 2018.

@futurebird I remember the moment, as an adult, when I realised I was using trigonometry for particle #VFX work.

And then I found that I’ve been solving for x and dealing with fractions and percentage solutions continuously over the past 14 years as a commercial #brewer.

I had no idea about the practical application of mathematics that would be used all the time when I was 15 (and sadly, neither did my teachers). Learning the power and utility of #maths could have been a blast!

Married Dad of 4 kids (2 in college). A dog, a cat, and two hens make up the household.
My interests, and therefore what I'm likely to toot about, are a little varied.
#Loi follower of #Waterfordfc , like #cycling , #music , #coffee , #beer (was a #brewer , but have stepped back recently). Back involved with #Scouts , like to tinker with #Electronics. Most of these hobbies come second to ferrying kids around.
