The abstract reads:
*************************************
ABSTRACT: In response to my post "Louis Paul Benezet and the 'Journal
of Humanistic Mathematics' " [Hake (2011a)], Kirby Urner wrote:
"JHM has lots of interesting content. . . . To have everything hinge
on any one figure, be that Piaget, Benezet, Escalante or anyone,
seems a rather dim-witted approach to any narrative."
Kirby's unjustified (IMHO) barb may have been provoked by my failure
to provide more information on JHM. In atonement I herewith give the
URL's:
(c) <http://bit.ly/kgaF8m> for the first issue of JHM, which provides
free downloads of the articles in that issue.
CORRECTION: The Benezet articles were published in the "Humanistic
Mathematics Newsletter" (HMN), not JHM as stated in Hake (2011). HMN
was evidently a precursor to both the new "Journal of Humanistic
Mathematics" (JHM), and *its* precursor the "Humanistic Mathematics
Network Journal" (HMNJ).

"Mathematics is the gate and key of the sciences. . . .Neglect of
mathematics works injury to all knowledge, since he who is ignorant
of it cannot know the other sciences or the things of this world. And
what is worse, men who are thus ignorant are unable to perceive their
own ignorance and so do not seek a remedy."
Roger Bacon (Opus Majus, bk. 1, ch. 4) <http://bit.ly/dzjbWv>
