I just finished reading The Magician’s Book: A Skeptic’s Guide to Narnia, by Salon.com’s Laura Miller. Yeah, I know, late to the party again — the book’s been out (and on my list) for a couple of years now. But Jonathan read it earlier this year and raved about it so much that we decided it passed the library test, and I put it on my list for my birthday last month.
The book is sort of a mashup of literary criticism of the Chronicles of Narnia and a biographical exploration of C.S. Lewis’s life and influences, with a hefty dose of Miller’s own history as a fan of the books, from her love of them as a child through her teenage disillusionment when she realizes that the books are full of Christian themes and on to adulthood. The whole book is a great read, but if you’re at all a Friend of Narnia it’s especially wonderful for her discussions of her own (and others’) childhood fascination with the books. In many ways the books are much more complex than they seem, and Miller is adept at exploring what makes them so compelling to so many children that those children continue to love Narnia as grown-ups. Our girl name was Lucy and our runner-up boy name was Eamonn (which is Irish for Edmund), so as you can imagine both Jonathan and I fit into that category.
It was also really interesting to read about her disillusionment with the books when she discovered their pervasive Christianity, which she realized after reading a piece of criticism of the Chronicles. In many ways Miller and I have similar backgrounds: I was also raised Catholic (though we weren’t the most devout by any means), went through all of the sacraments, and as an adult I am not Catholic. As far as I know there wasn’t a specific incident that drove me away from the church — I think that as a kid I just found Mass to be dull (though I did like the singing) and then as a teen I decided that all religions were hypocritical (as teens are wont to do). But as an adult I’m most comfortable as an agnostic, so that’s where I am now.
Unlike Miller, I don’t remember feeling betrayed when I reread the Chronicles as a teen. I think I was a bit older — late high school? — by which time it was readily apparent that Christianity ran through the whole series. But I don’t think the knowledge made me think negatively of the books.
It’s curious to think of it now. I’ve read them so often that I can’t actually remember when I read them for the first time, maybe age 10 or 11? A little late, if then. It’s been a while since I’ve read them as an adult, and reading this book makes me think it’s high time I started them again. We’ve tried to get Gus to read them but sometimes he’s really resistant to our book suggestions. Perhaps the best strategy is for me to read them to him?

This log building once served as the Willacoochee library. It has most recently been used as a thrift shop by the United Methodist Church.

Under the leadership of Methodist minister Emmett Emerson Gardner, the local Boy Scout troop cut, notched, and scraped the logs and erected this cabin for use as their lodge.
Originally consisting of two rooms, the cabin was later remodeled for use as the first library in Fort Gaines.
It’s located adjacent to the Toll House.
This neoclassical gem has a fascinating history. There is some confusion as to its date of construction. Some sources suggest that it’s antebellum (which wouldn’t surprise me) while prominent architectural historian John Linley put its construction shortly after the Civil War. Ray Irwin, whose husband is a descendant of Warthen, shared this, which should clear it up: It was built before the Civil War. There is a partially burned book formally owned by R. L. Warthen with the inscription in the front that states the book was scorched by a fire set in his office in November 1864 by General Wm. T. Sherman of the U.S. Army. It is signed by RLW. It is believed that his office fire was a result of the burning of the Wash. Co. Courthouse. The book is in the Brown House Museum.
Colonel Richard Lee Warthen built this as his home and law office. In 1925, the Transylvania Club moved here. The club was founded in 1908 by Mrs. C. B. Chapman and soon thereafter, at the suggestion of President Mary Tarbutton, set about establishing a public library for Sandersville. They opened to the public, with over 7,000 volumes, in the Masonic Hall in 1909. That structure was lost to fire in 1921. The ladies of the Transylvania Club moved forward and acquired enough books to reopen the library here in 1925 where it remained until 1998. It’s still home to the Transylvania Club. They’re perhaps best known for their Wedgwood series of Georgia Historical Plates.

Edward Elgar, Jan 1, 2002 - Business & Economics - 721 pages
'It was Woody Allen who said "economics is about money and why it is good". Dipping into this book will let you see why it is good!' – Christine D. Reid, University of Strathclyde, UK 'Although this excellent encyclopedia is focused toward intermediate undergraduates, postgraduates, and lecturers in macroeconomics, it is easy for any reader to use. Highly recommended.' – J.C. Tucker, Choice '. . . truly a valuable addition to the materials on the area of study . . . this work will be useful in college and university reference collections.' – Shannon Graff Hysell, American Reference Books Annual 2003 'Brian Snowdon and Howard Vane are the premier travel writers of modern macroeconomics. In a series of interviews, anthologies, and surveys, they have explored the range of macroeconomic thinking and brought back edifying and entertaining tales of their travels. Now, in the Encyclopedia of Macroeconomics they have assembled a superlative detailed guidebook to the macroeconomic landscape. A useful reference book for all economists – broad in scope, and well written by distinguished contributors.' – Kevin D. Hoover, University of California, Davis, US 'Teachers of macroeconomics are already obliged to Snowdon and Vane (and Wynarczyk) for their success in persuading our students that this is a subject where they will find a lively ongoing debate on vital issues and not just a compilation of exam exercises. Their new Encyclopedia will be a splendid supplement not only to their own but to anybody's textbook. Many of the short essays are little gems. It will be a rare teacher who does not himself (herself) find a lot to learn from browsing in it.' – Axel Leijonhufvud, University of Trento, Italy 'The editors of this volume already have a number of innovative and useful texts and essay collections (1994, 1997, 1999) to their credit. Their Encyclopedia of Macroeconomics is comparably valuable as a basic reference book for 21st Century students and teachers.' – Robert W. Clower, University of South Carolina, US, Brasenose College, Oxford, UK and University of California, Los Angeles, US The Encyclopedia of Macroeconomics is an authoritative and invaluable reference source on macroeconomics, which embraces definitions of terms and concepts, conflicting ideological approaches and the contributions of major thinkers. Comprehensive in scope, it contains over 300 short entries and more than 100 specially commissioned main entries from an internationally renowned group of scholars. The alphabetically ordered entries will be useful both as a basic reference source and a provocative stimulus for further reading. The Encyclopedia will soon be established as a leading reference source on macroeconomics that will both enlighten students and be highly valued by scholars and teachers of economics.

Reference specialist Marilyn Ibach spotted this scene among the thousands of photographs Carol M. Highsmith has taken in her project to document America.
The immediate outline against the sky of a dinosaur skeleton, juxtaposed with a coy title that doesn’t confirm what you are seeing, makes you zoom in for a closer look, followed by a laugh. The skeleton man (a caveman?) is carrying an axe! And, he is holding a lead, as if walking a large dog. But that dog is a Tyrannosaurus Rex. It’s a humorous roadside attraction, whimsically captured by Highsmith.

Al haNissim for Yom Yerushalayim (composed by Dr. Avi Shmidman and Rav Yitzchak Etshalom)
- 33 min 7 sec
Since the miraculous days of June 1967, we have celebrated the reunification of Yerushalayim, the city of our chief joy. Along with reciting Hallel, there have been various liturgical poems (פיוטים) written for the occasion. In order to be able to incorporate thanks to Hashem for the great miracle of the restoration of Jewish sovereignty over the Eternal City of Yerushalayim, we have composed a text of על הנסים, which retells the long years of distance, the threat and subsequent miraculous victory, the explosion of jubilation that followed and the commitment that we all have to keep Yerushalayim and her welfare as our chief joy. Besides the source sheet, a link to the text, along with English translation and additional sources is included.


In 1989 Francis Fukuyama, the renowned American political scientist asked a question: ‘The End of History?’ That was an article written by him as he thought that the humanity’s socio-cultural revolution was going to end with the spread of the institution of liberal democracy across the world. Later, he expanded the thought with sufficient substance and a lot of substantiation in his book ‘The End of History and the Last Man’ in 1992. After the end of the cold war and the fall of Berlin Wall, he said that there was unprecedented homogeneity in the way powers are established and sustained. Though the world order is not homogeneous as thought by him, the title he used for his work is still relevant in a related context. Let me modify his question. As an academic discipline, whether it is the end of ‘history’?
History is indeed a laboratory where one understands about the human existence, evolution and progress. However, very few people like to read books in history. And much less number of people would like to take history as a subject to study. Naturally, there is a decrease in the number of colleges and universities that offer history at degree or post graduate level.
Sebastian Joseph, my friend and a historian of forest and environment, is very alarmed at the growing disinterest of the people in learning about the past. He narrated this to me. He was travelling by the Chennai Mail from Thiruvananthapuram to Kochi. The person who sat next to him was a businessman who asked this wrong question: ‘What is the use of studying history?’ That was when Sebastian told him that he teaches history to students. Sebastian, though felt slightly unpleasant by the question, decided to explain to him the relevance of learning about the past. He also explained how the individuals, organizations and nation-states can learn from the lessons of the past. He also told about him the importance of oral history. The businessman keenly listened to Sebastian and before the end of the journey narrated his own past which Sebastian recorded in his mobile device. What narrated by the businessman was not just about his life and his struggles to reach the top, but also about the socio-economic and political contexts in which he lived and got influenced. He said, ‘I want the new generation to read about my past’. Sebastian transformed him to be a passionate historian by the end of the journey. Yes, history is not just about the kings and kingdoms. It is more about the ordinary people and their extraordinary lives!
The reason for writing this post is my happiness in receiving three non-fiction books as mementos after my talk at three institutions in the last few days. Each one of them gave me a copy that dealt with persons and events of history. After glancing at them I was reassured myself of the contemporary relevance of history and its regained popularity. First book is biographical, second one is eventful and the third provides a descriptive account of history as people thought about. I find these books prominently kept in many leading book stalls and people do buy them. This shows that history as a discipline has come out of the classrooms to the public domain. In universities we are forced to read the ‘prescribed history’. But we get to know about the ‘real history’ when we read books from the ‘open source’ thanks to the efforts of various publishers to showcase the works of scholars with different perspectives.

Adopted from an article by Virginia Burrus, Professor of Early Church History, Drew Theological School.
[Although written for a Methodist audience and the original article mentioning John Wesley, many of the points made in the article are good. Including this article is not to be understood that I endorse Methodism. The Professor just happens to be a Methodist – RAS]
“The term "classical Christianity" is of relatively recent coinage . . . . to refer to the views of a select group of theologians who wrote during the late Roman Empire (that is, during the fourth and fifth centuries) and laid the groundwork for such enduring doctrinal formulations as the divine Trinity and the two-natured Christ. These theologians, along with their second- and third-century precursors, are more traditionally known as the "Church Fathers," and the study of their writings is the domain of the academic discipline of "Patristics."
The "Fathers" themselves did not agree with one another on every point. They wrote during periods of great creativity as well as controversy, drawing not only upon prior traditions of exegesis and theological interpretation but also upon the resources of the philosophies of their day. The use of non-biblical language and concepts (for example, the terminology of "same essence" to describe the Trinity) was especially controversial in the late Roman period. Nonetheless, it was deemed necessary by some of the Christian leaders who sought to clarify and stabilize doctrinal positions, given the ambiguity of the biblical texts that had led to the continued proliferation of multiple theological interpretations. The plurality of theological views in part reflected the diversity of local traditions arising out of the rich multi-culturalism of the ancient Mediterranean world.
Athanasius, who was a fourth-century bishop of the hellenized city of Egyptian Alexandria, seems to have been one of the first Christians to use the title of "Fathers" to describe the authors of authoritative (in other words, "classical") theological writings. For him, the "Fathers" were first and foremost those who attended the Council of Nicaea in the year 325 and produced the first "ecumenical creed." The Council of Nicaea was convened by the emperor Constantine, a recent convert to Christianity who put an end to persecution and in exchange desired a single, unified faith to support his rule of the newly-reunified empire. Ironically, the council gave rise not to unity but to bitter divisiveness within the Christian community for more than fifty years. It was not until much later in the fourth century that the Cappadocian theologians (Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa) were able to revise and develop the Nicene position in such a way as to gain more widespread acceptance of Trinitarian doctrine. This was made "official" at the Council of Constantinople in the year 380. The so-called "Nicene Creed" still used today actually derives from the Council of Constantinople and apparently reflects a revision of some of the language originally put forth at Nicaea. We see that the road to "classical Christianity" was not an easy one, and one of its costs was the use of imperial power to enforce the exclusion of many Christians as "heretics," in cases where excommunication was frequently backed by sentences of political exile. (Indeed, Athanasius himself was exiled more than once.) In the year 386, the combined powers of state and church came together ominously in the state execution of the Spanish bishop Priscillian, together with several of his associates, on charges of heresy.
If anything, the theological debates of the early fifth century–which centered not on the nature of the triune Godhead but on the nature of the incarnate Christ–were even more bitter and divisive than those of the fourth century. The Council of Ephesus (431), for example, was attended by outbreaks of mob violence that even the imperial army could not control. The Council of Chalcedon (451)–which was, like all of the seven "ecumenical" councils, convened by order of an emperor–sought for compromise among the warring theological factions and produced a Christology that remains authoritative for most Western and many Eastern Christians down to this day. (It did not, however, produce a "creed" but claimed only to be offering a "definition" that clarified the implications of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed.) Unfortunately, this council also resulted in the splitting of Christianity into Chalcedonian, [Miaphysite – RAS], Monophysite, and Nestorian faith traditions, divisions that partly reflected ethnic and linguistic differences among ancient Christians–divisions that have, moreover, endured to the present.
The period of "classical Christianity" and the "ecumenical creeds" was, then, a period of immense theological creativity as well as uncertainty and controversy. Acclamations of doctrinal positions went hand in hand with anathematizations of positions pronounced heretical. It was also a period of state intervention in Christian theological debate that sought unity but more often produced divisions within the body of Christ. Nonetheless, the doctrines produced in this tumultuous period through the collective labor of thoughtful theologians have remained influential. Indeed, most current Christian theologies–theologies that encompass an immense diversity of perspectives and interpretations, including feminist and other liberationist theologies–work out of the assumptions of "classical Christianity," if by that we mean the doctrinal traditions of Trinitarian theology and two-natured Christology crystallized in the creeds produced by the "ecumenical councils."
The fact that a diversity of perspectives and interpretations can exist among those who adhere to "classical Christianity" should not surprise us. Nor, perhaps, should it either surprise or alarm us if, on occasion, the assumptions of "classical Christianity" are questioned, given both the controversies attending the articulation of "classical" doctrine and the culturally-specific forms that such formulations necessarily assumed. History teaches us that Christianity was a diverse movement from its very beginnings and has never ceased to be so. The interpretation of God’s word is an ongoing task for a community that strives to remain faithful to its richly layered past, while also making itself relevant to its present contexts. This does not mean that "anything goes." Not every interpretation is both faithful and relevant. Discernment–the work of the Holy Spirit within God’s church–is always necessary. The process of discernment itself produces disagreement and debate, as well as insight and inspiration. . . . [and we must] continue to affirm the importance of the traditions handed down from the ancient church, a question remains regarding the extent to which "classical Christianity" (as some understand it) implies "imperial Christianity." While honoring the teachings of the ancient Fathers, we must still be willing to join theologians . . . . in reflecting critically on the ominous effects of Constantinianism. The money and power of the emperor Constantine and his successors backed the attempts of the late Roman church to force adherence to a single doctrinal standard: those decreed "heretics" not only lost the financial support of the emperor but also were threatened with deposition (if they were clergy), excommunication, political exile, and sometimes even political execution. Where theological pluralism was not simply eliminated by such repressive measures, it was translated into a fractured church. An imperial Christianity is thus implicated not only in the coercion but also in the division of the body of Christ.
Christians today have much to learn from the theologians of antiquity: the doctrinal legacy of "classical Christianity" is, without question, indispensable. But to seek to spread true faith through persuasion rather than coercion, in a "catholic spirit" of love rather than hate, striving to include rather than exclude a diversity of perspectives, is arguably a sign not of doctrinal indifference or indecisiveness but rather of the confidence and generosity that befit the children of God.”

The Sonoran Desert may seem an unlikely place for a farming community, but members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had perfected the art of irrigation in Utah, and in 1900, Nephi Bingham believed he could make the desert blossom even amid saguaros and creosote. With water from the Rillito River and influxes of members from St. David, Douglas, the Gila Valley, and the colonies in Mexico, Binghampton became a distinctive enclave of Latter-day Saints in the otherwise non-LDS community of Tucson. When a second congregation was established in Tucson proper, LDS members began to flourish and participated in nearly every aspect of city life. Today, this heritage is celebrated with a monument to the 1846 entry of the Mormon Battalion and the first US flag flown over Tucson.

These two loves have been combined in Images of America: Latter-day Saints in Tucson.


“You have brought trouble into the world. You and your people must go before you bring more trouble.”
In 3500 BC, a killing drought forces Morven and her tribe to roam the steppes of Kazakhstan, struggling to survive.
Fiercely independent and never quite feeling she belongs, Morven senses a greater kinship to animals than to her own people. Despite ridicule, she befriends a herd of wild horses. She learns to ride and shows her clan the horses are not just a food source, but they also can help them survive. But it is not just Morven’s people who are changed by
knowledge. A brash young man from another tribe also learns from Morven. His goal, however, is not just to survive, but to conquer.
Morven must learn to accept responsibility for the terrible changes she has set in motion and become a leader amongst her people, or they will die.
“In Armstrong’s richly descriptive story, Morven grows from a young, spirited girl to a respected shaman, enduring loss, hostility, isolation and near starvation in her quest to understand her place within her clan.” – Quill & Quire
“a unique and intriguing story, filled with turmoil and themes of isolation, survival, and ultimately, love.” – CanLit For Little Canadians
“The writing is strong and accessible … it will definitely appeal to independent teenage girls with a streak of rebellion” – Resource Links, Recommended
“Despite the ancient time in which this story is set, I think modern teens could easily relate to Morven … a wonderful glimpse into the customs and lifestyles of the nomadic tribes living on the steppes during this early point in their history” – Friday Review, Susan Riley

The Copyright Act is a federal law that provides copyright protection in the United States for original works of authorship.
Copyright is actually a bundle of exclusive rights or protection in an original work that is granted to the copyright holder by the government.
Copyright protection arises in original works of authorship that are “fixed in any tangible medium of expression” (e.g., written or typed on paper, stored in a computer, recorded in an audio or video format, etc.).
Works of authorship include the following categories:
Copyright infringement is a violation of law that carries substantial penalties for the infringer. The general minimum statutory penalty is $750 per act of infringement. Infringement need not even be willful, but penalties for willful infringement are more severe at up to $150,000 per act of infringement. Criminal liability and even prison sentences of up to 5 years may be imposed on first time offenders who willfully infringe a copyright “for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain.” In addition to being illegal, copyright infringement is a violation of University policy and can result in the imposition of University discipline up to and including dismissal for faculty and staff and expulsion for students.
Section 106 of the Copyright Act enumerates the exclusive rights of copyright holders. “Subject to certain exceptions, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following:
1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords; (2) to prepare derivative works [see definition below] based upon the copyrighted work; (3) to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending; (4) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works, to perform the copyrighted work publicly; (5) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, to display the copyrighted work publicly; and (6) in the case of sound recordings, to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission.

How many hours is Atlas Shrugged audiobook?
At 63 hours long, this is the definition of a marathon listening session, but I think it’s worth it. Atlas Shrugged is a long story, which presents Ayn Rand’s theory of objectivism through a number of speeches and discussions, but it also has a great fictional narrative that goes along side it.
Is Atlas Shrugged a hard read?
This is not an easy book. It’s insanely long, dense, complicated, half the time you don’t know what’s going on (it is a mystery, but still), there seem to be hundreds of characters (was Ayn Rand channeling Dickens?), and there’s an entire chapter devoted to philosophy.
Why is Atlas Shrugged such a good book?
No ordinary novel, Atlas Shrugged explores important philosophical concepts pertaining to reason, individualism, capitalism, and liberty. Indeed, it was in this novel that Rand developed the most complete presentation of her philosophy of Objectivism that can be found in any of her works of fiction.
Should I read Atlas Shrugged first?
As someone who’s read it all, I would say that, for most people, there’s no better place to start than with one of Rand’s major works of fiction—Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, We the Living, or Anthem—and I suspect Rand would agree.
Is the Hunchback of Notre Dame an easy read?
It was the first unabridged classic I’ve read and it’s not easy getting through some of the monologues, historical descriptions, and rants about philosophy. The first half of the book was especially difficult, because so many of the characters and scenes don’t seem important to the plot.
Is The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged better?
From an enjoyment perspective: The Fountainhead is clearly a more readable, enjoyable, page-turner book. Atlas Shrugged is filled with massive, tree-killing monologues that make the book hard to read. By contrast, it’s hard to put The Fountainhead down.
Is The Fountainhead difficult to read?
To really digest what is going on in this book you’ll have to read pretty carefully, and take some time to stop and think about your own responses to what Rand is saying. But, mental gymnastics aside, this is still a streamlined novel with interesting characters, riveting plot, and—bonus!

Kapoor on Nelson (2020)
Nelson, Brian. Émile Zola: A Very Short Introduction. Oxford UP, 2020, pp. ix + 140, ISBN: 978-0-19883-756-5
Despite the huge popularity Émile Zola enjoyed as a writer in nineteenth-century France, he is less well known among the contemporary reading public. Therefore, it is apt that Brian Nelson sets out in this book to present Zola as “the quintessential novelist of modernity” (1). He begins by referring to Anita Brookner’s comment that Zola was “the greatest journalist of the nineteenth century,” but seeks instead to highlight Zola’s literary achievements (1). Though Zola downplayed his narrative art in the experimental theories he put forward to elucidate his artistic vision, in Nelson’s view, his narrative skill is illustrated, among other things, by the “visual effects, compositional techniques, and choice of motifs” that he employed in his fictional works. He argues that Zola’s literary style emerged largely as a result of his association with painters who profoundly influenced his own aesthetic (22).
Spread over nine chapters, the book takes on Zola’s fictional works, one by one, from the early days of his youth to his mature years, describing the painstaking planning, research, and fieldwork that went into the making of nearly all of them. Its highlights are the short yet lucid English translations from Zola’s French and vivid plot summaries. The book has a parallel biographical and historical thread. On the one hand, chapter two mentions Zola’s origins (his father who died when Zola was about seven was an Italian engineer, his mother was French and the daughter of a glazier) thus underlining the author’s hybrid sensibility as well as his struggles in France as an outsider. On the other hand, the final chapter reveals the hidden facts surrounding Zola’s mysterious death from carbon monoxide poisoning following his involvement in the sensational Dreyfus case, thus creating a riveting narrative that is partly biography, partly history. En route, it discusses the boldness with which Zola, the art critic, championed the cause of Impressionist painters such as Édouard Manet, who were rejected by the French establishment. Nelson shows that in his Rougon-Macquart series, Zola went on to address social issues like the struggles of ordinary people, while also incorporating into these novels contemporary scientific ideas about man’s relation to heredity and environment. Devoted partly to Zola’s new novel cycles that continue the spirit of the Rougon-Macquart, the final chapter is followed by a useful aide-mémoire that revisits the crucial events in Zola’s life, career, and times.
The book’s contention that Zola was above all an artist is best illustrated by the section in chapter two titled “Manet and the Salon des Refusés” that evokes Zola’s thirty-year friendship with painter Paul Cézanne, who introduced him to landscape painter Antoine Guillemet. Cézanne and Guillemet took Zola “round the studios, introducing him to Frédéric Bazille, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Auguste Renoir” (17). Zola is described as listening avidly to the conversations of painters who gathered regularly at the Café Guerbois on the Avenue de Clichy in the Batignolles district of Paris and discussing art as well as the annual Salon. The section examines how Édouard Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe was rejected by the 1863 Salon, and how Zola went on to defend the unconventional paintings of Impressionist artists such as Manet, appreciating their innovations in depicting contemporary reality by publishing a volume of articles called Mon Salon in 1866. Nelson suggests that just as Manet experimented with visual form by creating “new painting” (22), Zola experimented with fictional representation by adopting an artistic stance based on scientific materialism. In an article entitled “Les réalistes du Salon” Zola wrote that “the wind is blowing in the direction of science; we are driven, despite ourselves, towards the exact study of facts and things” (20).
Chapters three through eight offer glimpses of Zola’s attempt to record the “natural and social history of a family in the Second Empire” in the Rougon Macquart series (27) largely through a highly visual “poetry of fact” (6). For Nelson Le Ventre de Paris “is nothing if not a novel of spectacle”; Claude and Cadine are pleasure-seeking “flâneurs who circulate constantly in and around Les Halles, eagerly soaking up the sights of the markets” (42). Studying L’Assommoir, the novel where Zola made a working-class washerwoman a tragic heroine, Nelson draws our attention to its graphic descriptions of urban squalor, arguing that such depictions are Zola’s way of showing visually that man cannot be separated from his milieu. On the other hand, Nelson’s commentary on Nana, emphasizes the suggestions of “demi-monde,” a term that signifies “a shadowy half-world in which nothing is quite what it seems and the image is frequently taken for the reality” (64). Similarly, in the chapter on Au bonheur des dames, Nelson draws attention to how Zola unveils the truth about nineteenth-century bourgeois women seeking pleasure in the department store. The novel’s women are fragmented entities, seduced by the “pure spectacle” of an “almost orgiastic display of commodities” (74). In Germinal, Zola’s novel about a strike by mine workers, Nelson remarks on Zola’s use of colour. While black represents the darkness of ignorance and misery, red symbolises the awakening of political consciousness and revolution. Throughout, Nelson highlights the picturesque and evocative aspects of Zola’s craftsmanship.
Despite nineteen attempts, Zola failed to gain membership into the Académie Française. However, more recent academic criticism has been kinder to him, recognizing the creative features of his work and demolishing stereotypes of him as a sensationalist writer, a label that leads readers to misunderstand him. Nelson’s book consolidates this trend. However, as the author’s aim is to privilege the artistic qualities of Zola’s fiction over its realistic aspect, he underestimates the primacy of truth in Zola’s artistic vision. In Zola’s novels, art is not the end; it is the means to an end, the truth. As Nelson himself quotes, in a letter to his disciple Henry Céard dated 22 March 1885, Zola wrote: “We all falsify more or less, but […] I think I falsify in the direction of truth” (7).

These books were from my library visit back in early July. I was reading so much, going to the library, and going to secondhand stores to build up my collection of Stephen King books around the time I was going through my morning sickness period.

The Mapmaker's Wife: A True Tale of Love, Murder, and Survival in the Amazon (Paperback)
A True Tale of Love, Murder, and Survival in the Amazon
Delta, 9780385337205, 372pp.
Publication Date: December 28, 2004
The year is 1735. A decade-long expedition to South America is launched by a team of French scientists racing to measure the circumference of the earth and to reveal the mysteries of a little-known continent to a world hungry for discovery and knowledge. From this extraordinary journey arose an unlikely love between one scientist and a beautiful Peruvian noblewoman. Victims of a tangled web of international politics, Jean Godin and Isabel Grameson's destiny would ultimately unfold in the Amazon's unforgiving jungles, and it would be Isabel's quest to reunite with Jean after a calamitous twenty-year separation that would capture the imagination of all of eighteenth-century Europe. A remarkable testament to human endurance, female resourcefulness, and enduring love, Isabel Grameson's survival remains unprecedented in the annals of Amazon exploration.

[T]here is always the danger either that some mischievous notions may be left undisturbed by the neglect to notice them, or that the critic himself may be presumed to be ignorant of the foolishness of his predecessors. These inconveniences, however, must here be risked, and it may perhaps be thought that the necessity of risking them is a salutary one.-from "The Second Dramatic Period-Shakespere"George Saintsbury, one of the finest Victorian thinkers on literature, called the output of British writers in the years between 1560 and 1660 "the greatest period of the greatest literature of the world," and his insight and enthusiasm fills this sweeping survey of that era. The words of the Elizabethan writers alone-Marlowe, Spenser, Shakespeare, Bacon, Raleigh, Milton-would be a grand enough evocation of their brilliance, but Saintsbury's singing of their praises, for all its erudition and knowledge, is a glorious tribute to their genius. Poets, playwrights, and pamphleteers, all get their just due here, in a book that will thrill lovers of magnificent literature.British journalist and critic GEORGE EDWARD BATEMAN SAINTSBURY (1845-1933) was a regular contributor to the Saturday Review. His books include A Primer of French Literature (1880), the two-volume Essays in English Literature, 1780-1860 (1890-1895), and the three-volume A History of Criticism (1900-1904).

In what four main periods is Canadian poetry roughly divided into?
Canadian poetry in the 19th century can be roughly divided into four main periods:
1. Colonial Period (pre-Confederation): This period spans from the early settlement of Canada to the mid-1800s. Poetry during this time focused primarily on themes of exploration, settlement, and the relationships between settlers and Indigenous peoples.
2. Confederation Period: This period coincides with Canada’s Confederation in 1867 and extends until the late 1880s. During this time, Canadian poets began to explore national identity and the unique experiences of being Canadian. Themes such as nation-building, patriotism, and nature became prominent.
3. Late Victorian Period: This period covers the late 1880s to the turn of the century. Canadian poetry of this time was heavily influenced by British Victorian poetry, characterized by formal verse structures and an emphasis on morality, sentimentality, and romanticism.
4. Early Modernist Period: The early 20th century saw a shift towards modernism in Canadian poetry. This period, which overlaps with the end of the 19th century, featured poets who were more experimental in their use of language and form. They sought to break away from traditional literary conventions and explore new ideas and perspectives.
These four periods provide a general framework for understanding the evolution of Canadian poetry in the 19th century, highlighting the changing themes, styles, and influences that shaped the work of Canadian poets during this time.

They contributed to the literary landscape by bringing forth unique perspectives, exploring Canadian identity, and capturing the essence of the nation’s natural beauty and cultural diversity. Their works helped establish a distinct Canadian literary tradition.
One noteworthy contribution was the exploration of Canadian identity.

Furthermore, Canadian poets also contributed to the formation of a distinct Canadian literary voice. As they moved away from imitating European styles and themes, they began to draw inspiration from local history, regional dialects, and folklore. This shift was seen in the work of poets like William Wilfred Campbell and Pauline Johnson, who incorporated indigenous themes and legends into their poetic narratives. This emphasis on indigenous culture and heritage helped shape the unique character of Canadian literature.

During the 19th century, Canadian poetry was influenced by several key themes and influences. Nature and the Canadian landscape played a significant role in shaping Canadian poetic expression. Poets such as Archibald Lampman and Charles G.D. Roberts were inspired by the vastness and beauty of the Canadian wilderness, incorporating imagery of forests, rivers, and mountains into their works.
Patriotism and nation-building were also central themes in Canadian poetry of the 19th century. As Canada was undergoing political and social changes, poets like Thomas D’Arcy McGee and William Wilfred Campbell wrote about the emerging Canadian identity and expressed their love for their country.
Moreover, romanticism and sentimentalism were influential literary movements during this period. Canadian poets often embraced these styles, exploring themes of love, longing, and nostalgia in their works. Isabella Valancy Crawford and Susanna Moodie, for example, employed romantic and sentimental elements in their poetry.
Religion and spirituality were also prominent influences on Canadian poetry. Many poets, including Pauline Johnson and Robert W. Service, incorporated religious and spiritual themes into their works, exploring faith, morality, and the human condition.
Indigenous cultures and their folklore had a growing influence on Canadian poetry during the 19th century. E. Pauline Johnson, or Tekahionwake, celebrated her Mohawk heritage through her poems, incorporating Indigenous oral traditions and storytelling techniques into her writings.
Overall, Canadian poetry of the 19th century reflected the diverse experiences and influences prevalent in the country at the time. Through themes of nature, patriotism, romance, spirituality, and Indigenous culture, Canadian poets contributed to the rich literary landscape of the period.
In conclusion, the 19th century was a time of great literary expansion and exploration for Canadian poets. Their works not only captured the essence of Canadian identity and landscape, but also reflected the socio-political and cultural shifts of the time. Through their poems, these poets expressed their unique perspectives and contributed to the growing Canadian literary tradition.
From iconic figures like Susanna Moodie and Archibald Lampman to lesser-known yet equally impactful voices such as Isabella Valancy Crawford and Charles G. D. Roberts, Canadian poets of the 19th century paved the way for future generations of writers.

It should have been just another day and another tournament. The tournament where our name would be immortalized forever more! Surely, nothing could ever go right when I'm involved. A freak accident leaves Scarlet and myself stranded in Hazard Online, the one game we loved as much as life. Oh how quickly that changed.
Pushed to the brink of our sanity, we awaken with the knowledge of our death and become little more than guinea pigs, thrust into an experimental expansion where death means so much more. Our only allies are two young women who know much more than they're letting on and an A.I. Overmind who offers us a deal. Perhaps it would have been better to let some secrets stay hidden before the only way to survive becomes the sacrifice of what little made us human. In the end, would lose your humanity in such a place be even a bad thing?

What little we know about the life of Plotinus (ca. 204–270 CE) comes from the short memoir with which his disciple and literary executor Porphyry (ca. 234–305 CE) prefaced The Enneads—the complete edition of Plotinus’s writings that Porphyry collected and arranged. Because Plotinus was reluctant to speak of his early life, and because Porphyry came to know him when he was already fairly advanced in years, the picture we have is of a man already fully formed in personality and settled in his convictions. According to Porphyry, Plotinus attached small importance to his own biography. Just as he objected to having his likeness drawn or sculpted, because he was ashamed at finding himself caught in the shadowy meshes of a material body, so he also objected to dwelling on the trivial details of his individual existence as a mortal man.
We know that he came originally from Deltaic Lycopolis, in a thoroughly Hellenized Egypt, but not whether he was of Coptic or Greek descent, or what class he came from. Apart from one mildly embarrassing episode with a wet nurse when he was eight, his story begins for us around 232 CE, when at the age of twenty-seven he decided to move to Alexandria to study philosophy. There, after an initial period of searching about among the various schools, he attached himself to Ammonius Saccas, the “Socrates of Neoplatonism.” After eleven years in the city, he conceived a desire to study with the “gymnosophists” and philosophers of India and Persia, and so joined the Persian expedition of Emperor Gordian III. But when that military venture ended in disaster, Plotinus was forced to make a perilous retreat to Antioch, apparently more or less on his own. He moved to Rome, where he spent the rest of his life teaching. When his final illness set in, he retired to Campania to die. His last words were supposedly something like, “Try to elevate the god within us to the divine in the universe.” Then, as his soul departed his body, a snake passed under his bed and out through a hole in the wall.
Apart from this bare outline, Porphyry provides only a few brief, if illuminating, anecdotes. For instance, Plotinus once explained his decision to remain aloof from certain festal liturgies by mysteriously remarking that the divine beings should come to him, not he to them. On another occasion, when the orator Diophanes had publicly argued that a philosopher’s disciple, for the sake of his own advancement, was obliged to submit to his master’s sexual importunities, Plotinus was too agitated to deliver a refutation himself, but had to depute one of his followers for the task. And there are a few more colorful tales, of the sort modern readers might foolishly be prone to doubt. An aspiring philosopher from Alexandria named Olympius, for example, became consumed by envy and attempted to attack Plotinus with magic. But the spells doubled back upon the sorcerer, and Olympius was forced to acknowledge the invincible strength of Plotinus’s soul. Porphyry also relates that, on at least four occasions during the years of their friendship, Plotinus achieved mystical union with the highest divine reality. Perhaps the most delightful tale of all concerns a priest of Isis who, at the temple of the goddess in Rome, invoked an apparition of Plotinus’s tutelary divinity, only to discover that Plotinus was attended by no mere celestial daemon (as most good souls are) but rather by an actual god. In the end, though, these are only so many tantalizing glimpses. Would that we knew a little more. Then again, perhaps Plotinus was right—perhaps too great a concentration on the ephemeral episodes of his life would only distract us from his ideas.
Those ideas, after all, were profoundly influential. Viewed in long retrospect—looking back from the vantage of late modern philosophy, through the golden epochs of the great Christian and Islamic medieval schools, to the world of late antique Hellenistic, Jewish, and Christian thought—we find no pagan thinker more consequential for the development of later traditional “Western” metaphysics and epistemology. Plato and Aristotle, of course, laid the foundations; but it was principally through the vehicle of what we now call “Neoplatonism” that the ancient systems were conveyed to the post-pagan world, and it was principally through Plotinus that Neoplatonism first acquired the full grandeur and scope of a recognizable and internally consistent tradition in its own right. His thought constituted a crucial crystallization and creative revision of those spiritual and intellectual currents of late antiquity that would prove most durable and influential in subsequent centuries.
Though Plotinus’s importance has never been entirely forgotten by scholars, and though he enjoyed a period of particularly reverent recovery during the Renaissance, he has rarely received the degree of close attention from modern philosophers that he merits. Moreover, for roughly a century it has been his undeserved fate to serve as a rhetorical foil—caricatured, misrepresented, slandered—for Christian theologians (chiefly Protestant) who have wanted to differentiate between what they fancifully imagine to be the God of the Bible and what they no less fancifully imagine to be the God of the philosophers. This is a pity. There was no more brilliant and dynamically original thinker in the last few centuries of pagan intellectual culture, or the first few centuries of the Christian era.

Details about Tinker V. des Moines and the Students' Right to Free Speech:
Christopher Eckhardt and John Tinker were high school students in 1963; John's sister Mary Beth was in junior high. But they were not too young to feel strongly about the Vietnam War—so strongly that they disobeyed school rules and wore black armbands to protest the war, resulting in their suspension. Believing that they had a right to free expression, the three young people took their case all the way to the Supreme Court. In TINKER V. DES MOINES AND STUDENTS' RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH: DEBATING SUPREME COURT DECISIONS, Stephanie Sammartino McPherson explains what happened and the impact it had on the rights of young people today. The book includes a moot court exercise to give readers a deeper understanding of the arguments in the case and the workings of the court system.


Clash Of Civilizations, Orientalism, and the “Civilized” and “Uncivilized”
Comparing International Reactions Through the Cases of the Middle East and Europe
Keywords:Islamophobia, Clash of civilizations, Orientalism, Global response, Identity, Media representation, Post-Colonial Theory, Political Theory
This article examines Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" theory which suggests that the world will be divided into two opposing civilizations, the West and East, in the post-Cold War era. Huntington advocates for Western society to exert control over Eastern civilization, particularly the Islamic world, in order to maintain Western values and beliefs. Additionally, I examine Edward Said's criticism of this theory, which argues that Huntington’s theory is based on ignorance and portrays non-Western societies as backward and uncivilized. This article demonstrates how Samuel Huntington's theory is very much present in the way conflict is viewed in different regions and civilizations around the world, as observed through modern Orientalism. This is demonstrated by the double standards and differential treatment of Eastern and Western conflict by Western nations and their media's portrayal of Eastern conflicts as upholding the norm. I then highlight these differences in treatment by comparing the reaction and action of Western nations to the Russian invasion of Ukraine versus the invasion of Iraq by the United States.
