In July, 1841, Emerson wrote to Carlyle: "My whole philosophy...teaches acquiescence and optimism." The journals in this volume, beginning in the summer of 1841, record the spiritual history of two years that can be viewed as the most critical test in Emerson’s life of his ability to maintain the two aspects of that philosophy. Early in 1842 his son Waldo died, and the man who only months before had described himself as "professor of the joyous Science" found himself once again confronting the full implications of grief.

When Emerson began these journals in June of 1838, he "had achieved initial success in each of his main forms of public utterance. The days of finding his proper role and public voice were now behind him...and his...personal life had healed from earlier wounds."

Human beings are information omnivores: we are constantly collecting, labeling, and organizing data. But today, the shift from the physical to the digital is mixing, burning, and ripping our lives apart. In the past, everything had its one place--the physical world demanded it--but now everything has its places: multiple categories, multiple shelves. Simply put, everything is suddenly miscellaneous. In Everything Is Miscellaneous, David Weinberger charts the new principles of digital order that are remaking business, education, politics, science, and culture. In his rollicking tour of the rise
