The Complete Library of Human Improvement
A pseudo-institutional publishing project that condenses entire fields of advice into brief, fully referenced volumes.
Field notes
The site describes a federation of specialist institutes that reads a field’s literature, keeps the findings that survive scrutiny, and publishes a concise remainder. Its first volume, on weight loss, is accompanied by forty-two publicly catalogued references; the other listed subjects are sound sleep, undivided attention, and moderation of strong drink. The homepage also exposes links for research, errata, press material, fellowship, and a catalogue, giving the project the apparatus of a small publishing institution rather than a simple advice page.
