Disasters are not uncommon events, and take many forms. Disasters, in whatever form they take, rob us of our sense of well-being, our security, our community, our loved ones, and our homes.

Unfortunately, modern library historians have tended to look at James only as a librarian and have ignored or dismissed his scholarly and polemical works and activities. Yet James's librarianship was part of polemical scholarship, as indeed was the foundation of the Bodleian Library itself.
