![]() ![]() Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of life’s ordeals. Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn’t simply about going fast. Not all dogs return as men, they say only those who are ready.Įnzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. I learned that from a program on the National Geographic channel, so I believe it is true. Then his tail is cut off and put beneath his head, and a piece of meat or fat is placed in his mouth to sustain his soul on its journey before he is reincarnated, the dog’s soul is freed to travel the land, to run across the high desert plains for as long as it would like. The dog’s master whispers into the dog’s ear his wishes that the dog will return as a man in his next life. ![]() “In Mongolia, when a dog dies, he is buried high in the hills so people cannot walk on his grave. ![]()

The conflict is expressed in how the author describes her culture shock when introduced to the native women’s way of treating children or the procedure of female genital mutilation, for that matter.Ĭulture shock is strictly personal. ![]() The collision of the author’s feelings and her inclinations as a professional anthropologist is almost tangible. However, in the course of reading, the author’s emotive discourse may distract some parts of the audience from the actual message of the book. Even the title of the book is meant to arouse the readers’ anticipation and generally make the book interesting, thus extending the target audience. She seems unwilling to overly complicate the book with academic language, relying mostly on what she supposes to be common sense. This might be the reason the author included her personal opinions and quoted conversation in the text. ![]() The text was possibly meant to encourage students and people who are interested in anthropology to further explore the field. Being a scientist devoted to her field of study, Dettwyler wrote the book in a conversationally vivid manner. ![]() ![]() ![]() Making art can feel dangerous and revealing. The line between the artist and his/her work is a fine one at best, and for the artist it feels (quite naturally) like there is no such line. Life and Art, once entwined, can quickly become inseparable at age ninety Frank Lloyd Wright was still designing, Imogen Cunningham still photographing, Stravinsky still composing, Picasso still painting.īut if making art gives substance to your sense of self, the corresponding fear is that you're not up to the task - that you can't do it, or can't do it well, or can't do it again or that you're not a real artist, or not a good artist, or have no talent, or have nothing to say. ![]() ![]() And with good reason: your desire to make art - beautiful or meaningful or emotive art - is integral to your sense of who you are. Among the very young this is encouraged (or at least indulged as harmless) but the push toward a 'serious' education soon exacts a heavy toll on dreams and fantasies.Yet for some the desire persists, and sooner or later must be addressed. ![]() ![]() ![]() People best know Sand for bold statements about the rights in 19th-century society, her exploration of contemporary social and philosophical issues, and her depiction of the lives and language of provincials. Sand stated the primary happiness in life in love and so focused on relationships in most of her novels as she tackled the complexities of politics, society, and gender. Known for its blend of romance and realism, her effortless spontaneity proliferated without sacrificing style and form. ![]() People celebrated this controversial life, which oftentimes overshadowed her creative production. People recognize this best known, most popular memoirist and journalist, more renowned in Europe in her lifetime than Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac in England in the 1830s and 1840s, People recognize Sand of the most notable writers of the Romantic era of Europe. The novels Lélia (1833) and Consuelo (1842) among works, plays, and essays of French writer George Sand, pen name of Amandine Aurore Lucie Dupin, baroness Dudevant, concern the freedom and independence of women. ![]() ![]() ![]() I do generally like small-town Southern fiction, but it took me a long while to get into this one. That’s the basic plot of Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns, but the story is told through the eyes of Rucker’s grandson, Will Tweedy, who is sympathetic with the couple, and whose teen-age perspective causes him to question things and not necessarily go along with the status quo. Thereafter she was the main subject of gossip (as if the marriage was totally her fault) and could seem to do nothing right in their eyes. ![]() That was the worst of it, but added to the scandal were the facts that she was “nearly a Yankee” and half his age. In the small town of Cold Sassy, GA, in the early 1900s, Rucker Blakeslee shocked and scandalized the town and his family by remarrying Miss Love Simpson just three weeks after his wife died. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's at first a bit jarring, since you also get introduced to a lot of the characters and nearly each chapter ends with a cliffhanger. Sometimes you are in Oxford 2060, other times you are in 1940 or 1945 or somewhere in between. The plot of this book follows several characters and as such jumps back and forth in time a lot. Personally, I think I preferred Doomsday Book better, but this was still enjoyable. The split means you have to read both to get the whole picture, but it is an interesting novel of time travel with some good characters in an fascinating time period. It ends on a positive note, but the following novel, All Clear, takes that and pushes through to the final resolution. In the first novel, Blackout, we get introduced to all the characters and their perilous situation. This book started very tense, though the pay off was worth it. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind splitting them (I'm fine reading really long novels), but that's all right. ![]() ![]() I decided to review them together since each is incomplete without the other. Blackout and All Clear are a two part series by Connie Willis of time travelers back to London at the time of the Blitz, around 1940. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The phrase once upon a time is used at the start of children’s stories. She was once a schoolteacher but she hated it. In this meaning, we often use it in mid position (between the subject and the main verb, or after the modal verb or first auxiliary verb, or after be as a main verb): We also use once to mean ‘at a time in the past but not now’. They go for dinner together once a month. I gave it my Special Jury Prize, which is sort of an equal first no movie was going to budge Juno off the top of my list. We say once a + singular time expression and once every + plural time expression to talk about how often something happens: Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard star in 'Once.' I'm not at all surprised that my esteemed colleague Michael Phillips of the Tribune selected John Carney's Once as the best film of 2007. We use once as an adverb to mean ‘one single time’: ![]() ![]() Reading this book was an absolute pleasure and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the human past and in world archaeology, provided you have the time to read through the book at your own pace and really absorb the content. It seemed to me that each chapter was a new experience and a new possibility for further study. The human past: world prehistory and the development of human societies. As an archaeologist, it was incredible to me to realise just how many different places, times and cultures I found interesting as I was reading through. Chris Scarre This paper deals with two intersecting issues of identity: the special identity of communities living on the Channel Islands off the coast of northwest France in the 5th and 4th. Christopher John Scarre, FSA is an academic and writer in the fields of archaeology. There are places included in the book, such as the archaeology of Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia, that is rarely mentioned in other general archaeology books and would otherwise require purchasing a separate, much more specific book to get an introduction. As a Danish student of archaeology, having primarily been taught Danish and Northern European archaeology, being able to get a sense of the archaeology of the entire world in one book was incredible. I read it front to back, not because I had to as part of my studies, but because the human past fascinates me. But if you are interested in archaeology, this book is a treasure trove. I also understand that it can be difficult to remember all of the information if you're reading it as part of your studies. ![]() I understand what people are saying about information overload and the unwieldy size of the book. ![]() |
