Supernova marissa meyer7/6/2023 She threatens Nova and when Nova gives her the fake helmet she releases Danna. Narcissa, the granddaughter of the Librarian is out for revenge and seeking a better world for her people: The Rejects. Along with the small comical relief that is supplied by Oscars ideas to ask Ruby out. The suspension keeps you on the edge of your seat, the call of battle ringing in your ears as you lean forward ready for everything to be revealed. It is only a matter of time before someone exploits Nova’s true identity. Everyone is blaming Nova for Max’s injuries, but all of their focus is manly on the fact that Ace is in their clutches. She was the reason that Aftershock and Gargoyle lost their powers and was the one that forced Frostbite to give up her powers to Max. Nova has just gotten away with Ace’s helmet, from right under the Renegade’s noses. What an ending! I grudgingly admit that I skipped two classes because I was so deep in the world of superhero’s and villain’s that I could not bare to leave for even a moment! AND I DO NOT REGRET A SECOND!!! This is going to hurt book review7/6/2023 The Post Office leave a “while you were out” card but they only hold parcels for 18 days, “every one of which I’ve been at work”, so his partner’s birthday present is returned to sender.

Medieval bodies hartnell7/6/2023 The writing is to a high standard, erudite and mostly interesting. Beautifully presented and well illustrated, this is a lovely object. In the category of book as physical object this would gain 5 stars. Medieval Bodies is published in association with Wellcome Collection. Unfolding like a medieval pageant, and filled with saints, soldiers, caliphs, queens, monks and monstrous beasts, it throws light on the medieval body from head to toe - revealing the surprisingly sophisticated medical knowledge of the time in the process.īringing together medicine, art, music, politics, philosophy and social history, there is no better guide to what life was really like for the men and women who lived and died in the Middle Ages. In this richly-illustrated and unusual history, Jack Hartnell uncovers the fascinating ways in which people thought about, explored and experienced their physical selves in the Middle Ages, from Constantinople to Cairo and Canterbury. And yet their lives were full of miraculous and richly metaphorical experiences radically different to our own, unfolding in a world where deadly wounds might be healed overnight by divine intervention, or the heart of a king, plucked from his corpse, could be held aloft as a powerful symbol of political rule. Just like us, medieval men and women worried about growing old, got blisters and indigestion, fell in love and had children. makes the past at once familiar, exotic and thrilling.' Dominic Sandbrook Anyta sunday rock7/6/2023 Its squeals match the rickety fence and clumps of wildflowers I trample as I walk across the front lawn. Home looms before me, and I swing my backpack off before peeking into the letterbox. Today smells different, like the cusp of summer. I drop the stone into my pocket and breathe in the perfumed air rising from the magnolias that flank the street. Nothing dramatic, just saying goodbye to my teachers and high-fiving my mates going to St. The gabbro’s subtle weight increases as I tell it all the crap that happened today, my last day of intermediate school. I squat to pick up the grey-black stone, jumping when a fresh raindrop slides across it and splashes onto my wrist. Today’s is a small trapezium of coarse-grained gabbro that’s spilling through the fence of our neighbor’s yard. This is the story of how I became a rock. This is the story of how my home breaks and is rebuilt.

Goya janis tomlinson7/5/2023 Emphasizing the complexity of the context that engendered these paintings, Tomlinson demonstrates that any reading of Goya's works must acknowledge the unique circumstances of their patronage and ideology in a period of transition and ambivalence. She discusses such well-known works by Goya as the Family of Carlos IV, the Maja vestida and the Maja desnuda, and the Second of May and Third of May, reassessing them in relation to Goya's changing patrons: Carlos IV and María Luisa, the court favorite Manuel Godoy, the rulers of the interim regimes of the Napoleonic years, Fernando VII, and, finally, the broader public characterized by its alienation from a conservative restoration regime. Tomlinson examines the social history of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Spain from the outbreak of the French Revolution and its effect on Spain through the restoration of Spain's Bourbon monarchy in 1814. In 2020, she was awarded the Royal Order of Isabel la Catlica for her. Her books include Goya: Order and Disorder, Goya: Images of Women, Goya in the Twilight of Enlightenment, and Francisco Goya: The Tapestry Cartoons and Early Career at the Court of Madrid. Tomlinson offers a fresh and innovative interpretation of the major paintings of Goya's mid-career, disentangling the historic Goya from the romanticized Goya and placing his works in the context of the ideological, social, and artistic changes of the times. Tomlinson has written and lectured extensively on the art of Goya. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya has long been considered an artist of the Enlightenment who took a heroic stance against the forces of political oppression, and critics have read his art as a reflection of his renegade ideas. All you zombies by heinlein7/5/2023 But Heinlein tosses into the mix a temporal causality loop: I am my own Grandfather. In modern literature and film, time travel is so thoroughly exploited that the idea of a future self encountering a past version is banal. “-All You Zombies-” was initially refused by Playboy, but was later published in the March 1959 issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine, where it reached a more relevant audience. Heinlein, who on July 11, 1958, in just one twenty-four hour period, wrote the short story that inspired the film, Predestination, starring Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook, and Noah Taylor. One of the most controversial antinomies came from “the dean of science fiction writers,” Robert A. Wells published The Chronic Argonauts and The Time Machine-the first published records of technological temporal manipulation-writers and scientists have speculated the inevitable paradoxes of time travel. Researchers should be aware that many of the works referred to have not been translated from Russian as yet.Īny examination of the lives and situations of women and men who were attracted to their own gender in the lands of imperial Russia must take into account the two institutions which provided a substantial part of the social framework: the dominant religious force of the Russian Orthodox Church and the autocratic government of the tsars (and the laws dealing with sexuality which it promulgated and enforced). This essay will explore the range of works available in English on LGBT people (both historic and contemporary) whose lives were interwoven with the society and cultures of Russia. While the censorship mechanisms in place during Tsarist times and the views on homosexuality held by the Russian Orthodox clergy severely limited discussion or expression of same-sex loves, such relationships did occur. The topic of homosexuality and its histories within the lands that make up today’s Russian Federation has been, until recently, familiar chiefly to students of Eastern European or Slavic studies, particularly in the fields of literature, art and music. Off The Shelf #23 Around the Samovar : Tracking LGBT Russian Historiesĭedicated to the memory of Mikhail Kuzmin, Peter Tchaikovsky and Igor Kon The rose umberto eco7/5/2023 It is a serious disappointment in fact a jumbled mess. Sadly this series just doesn't work given the source material and talent. In addition to being a fan of Eco, I certainly am as well of John Turturro. The original film version of Name of the Rose was not bad, it was a decent adaption of Umberto's Eco's intricate but certainly his most approachable book, but it certainly could be much better fleshed out in a mini series length. If you've got that liberal arts degree for undergrad and loved history and literature, like I did, (before having to turn to something that can make some money for grad) they you probably knew about this series planning and had enthusiastic and positive expectations. It goes without saying as well that labyrinth is meaningless if you just proliferate blind ally diversions and don't understand it is the great classics Eco is presenting as the guide, the key. Sorry but gibberish is not complexity because it meanders, and proliferation non sequiter subplots are not semiotics just because your brain has to also work when decoding nonsense. Yet, the writers of this mess of an adaption seem to have not understood Eco or Rose at all and simply opted for injecting and proliferating haphazard disorder to mimic it complexity when it is just - mediocre plot device and script-writing and. It has to do with presenting complexity and then dealing with it though Occam's maxim and Holmes' deductive reasoning. In short: there is a reason why the central character in Eco's work is named after Occam and nods to Sherlock Holmes. |
