![]() ![]() There are stories of mental losses, mental excesses, mental transports, and the world of the simple. ![]() In each section, Sacks highlights several stories of patients suffering from a disease corresponding to the section heading. Just as many neurological diseases are not mutually exclusive, neither are the stories Sacks compiles. Sacks divides his book into four separate but somewhat intertwining parts. Sacks mixes his clinical jargon with a personal empathy for his patients, drawing the reader in and allowing even the most inexperienced reader to gain a better understanding of the lives of the mentally disabled. Often books of this sort are written as a series of case studies full of medical terminology that leaves the average reader frustrated and unwilling to finish the book. His goal in writing the book is to present the personal side of neurosis. He has compiled some of his more interesting, more personal stories into one volume to share with the world. ![]() Oliver Sacks is a professor of clinical neurology who has spent years seeing patients. ![]() ![]() The book also features cloned Jurassic dragonflies, a particularly sloppy move on the part of the engineers, as insects could fly to the mainland and theoretically spread disease. (and the continuing Ebola problem in Africa). The author also briefly touches on the idea of dinosaur diseases and the fear that they could jump species, a concept that ties in with the 2014 Ebola scare in the U.S. “I’ll be damned – that just might work.”īut Crichton’s work holds up as a cautionary tale about genetic engineering of any kind, as many people today are scared of genetically engineered foods (to an unreasonable degree, in my opinion, although I have no problem with a requirement that GMO foods be labeled). “And then the insects are preserved in amber …” Grant shook his head. It was merely difficult, expensive and unlikely to work. If enough DNA fragments were recovered, it might be possible to clone a living animal. ![]() “Formerly it was thought that fossilization eliminated all DNA. He pulls off the sleight of hand in passages such as this one on page 67 of the paperback: I now understand that Crichton was using the age-old technique of taking something barely plausible and extrapolating it into a “what if” thriller. ![]() ![]() Setting: Isla Nublar, off Pacific coast of Central America ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Written with a sparkling voice and breakneck pace, The Radium Girls fully illuminates the inspiring young women exposed to the "wonder" substance of radium, and their awe-inspiring strength in the face of almost impossible circumstances. And as the fatal poison of the radium takes hold, the brave shining girls find themselves embroiled in one of the biggest scandals of America's early 20th century, and in a groundbreaking battle for workers' rights that will echo for centuries to come. With such a coveted job, these "shining girls" are the luckiest alive - until they begin to fall mysteriously ill.īut the factories that once offered golden opportunities are now ignoring all claims of the gruesome side effects, and the women's cries of corruption. The glittering chemical covers their bodies from head to toe they light up the night like industrious fireflies. Meanwhile, hundreds of girls toil amidst the glowing dust of the radium-dial factories. ![]() From body lotion to tonic water, the popular new element shines bright in the otherwise dark years of the First World War. ![]() The Curies' newly discovered element of radium makes gleaming headlines across the nation as the fresh face of beauty, and wonder drug of the medical community. ![]() ![]() ![]() The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow, gave a luster of midday to objects below, when, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, with a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Away to the window I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads and mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap, had just settled our brains for a long winter nap when out on the law there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

In that story, “The Coddling of the American Mind,” Lukianoff, a First Amendment lawyer and the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education ( FIRE), and Haidt, a social psychologist at New York University, observed that “in the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don’t like,” and argued that capitulating to requests to banish certain ideas from classrooms and campus events would likely increase student anxiety and depression, rather than ameliorate it. “As each side increasingly demonizes the other, compromise becomes more difficult … So it’s not hard to imagine why students arriving on campus today might be more desirous of protection and more hostile toward ideological opponents than in generations past.” ![]() “It is a very serious problem for any democracy,” he and his co-author Jonathan Haidt wrote in a cover story for The Atlanticthat year. Greg Lukianoff was preoccupied with political polarization-not just the divisiveness he observed, but the fallout-and specifically the effects of tribalism on college campuses. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lawhead's masterful retelling of the Robin Hood legend reaches its stunning conclusion in Tuck. Also, I don’t think I’ve mentioned how much I love the integration of the King Raven legend that came up in Hood. Honestly, Bran is the best, he was the mischievous rogue that we all know as Robin Hood, yet he had his flaws. Filled with unforgettable characters, breathtaking suspense, and rousing battle scenes, Stephen R. Lawhead’s portrayal of Robin Hood is just perfect. Lawhead conjures an ancient past while holding a mirror to contemporary realities. ![]() This epic trilogy dares to shatter everything you thought you knew about Robin Hood as Stephen R. Deceived by the self-serving King William and hunted by the treacherous Abbot Hugo and Sheriff de Glanville, Rhi Bran is forced again to take matters into his own hands as King Raven.Īlong the way Friar Tuck has been the stalwart supporter of the man behind the legend-bringing Rhi Bran much-needed guidance, wit, and faithful companionship.Īided by Tuck and his small but determined band of forest-dwelling outlaws, Rhi Bran ignites a rebellion that spreads through the Welsh valleys, forcing the wily monarch to marshal his army and march against little Elfael. King Raven has brought hope to the oppressed people of Wales-and fear to their Norman overlords. ![]() "Pray God our aim is true and each arrow finds its mark."

Now, my first gray hair appeared in 1999 when we bought our first house and I’ve had a few more here and there over the years, but they’ve always been curiosities, anomalies. ![]() On this achingly bright morning I was securing a hank of hair in a little clip when I noticed gray hairs. Duty calls.Ī bunch of shit happened in the three days I took to read your book. To read an entire book of advice column Q&A seemed about as necessary as professional football, with the same end result for this reader as for those players: heads bashing into unmovable objects.īut my book club selected it.

What to read next: Many of the characters didn’t look like themselves, so it was kind of confusing. It was so clever, and it made me laugh out loud! My favourite one was the parody of Game of Thrones, where Moose was Hodor and Archie was Jon Snow. ![]() Each comic had a parody of a movie or TV series, which happened in Jughead’s dreams. My favourite part in this graphic novel was the parodies. He was never my favourite character from Riverdale, but I enjoyed this graphic novel. I’ve never read a book that was just about Jughead before. Riverdale High provides a quality education and quality hot lunches, but when one of those is tampered with, JUGHEAD JONES swears vengeance!
