She worked various jobs to pay the rent, including a decade-long stint as the assistant manager of a 700 bed freshmen dormitory at NYU, a position she still occasionally misses. After six years as an undergrad at Indiana University, Meg moved to New York City (in the middle of a sanitation worker strike) to pursue a career as an illustrator, at which she failed miserably, forcing her to turn to her favorite hobby-writing novels-for emotional succor. Fortunately she grew up in Bloomington, Indiana, where few people were aware of the stigma of being a fire horse - at least until Meg became a teenager, when she flunked freshman Algebra twice, then decided to cut her own bangs. Meg Cabot was born on February 1, 1967, during the Chinese astrological year of the Fire Horse, a notoriously unlucky sign. Librarian note: AKA Jenny Carroll (1-800-Where-R-You series), AKA Patricia Cabot (historical romance novels). He has been described as "the most influential thinker of the medieval period" and "the greatest of the medieval philosopher-theologians". He argued that God is the source of the light of natural reason and the light of faith. Thomas was a prominent proponent of natural theology and the father of a school of thought (encompassing both theology and philosophy) known as Thomism. In 1999, John Paul II added a new title to these traditional ones: Doctor Humanitatis. Thomas Aquinas OP ( / ə ˈ k w aɪ n ə s/ Italian: Tommaso d'Aquino, lit.'Thomas of Aquino' 1225 – 7 March 1274) was an Italian Dominican friar and priest, an influential philosopher and theologian, and a jurist in the tradition of scholasticism from the county of Aquino in the Kingdom of Sicily, Italy he is known within the tradition as the Doctor Angelicus, and the Doctor Communis.

The mixing of sedentary and nomadic peoples and Christianity and Islam on the steppe borderland produced the class of ferocious warriors known as the Cossacks, for example, while the encounter between the Catholic and Orthodox churches created a religious tradition that bridges Western and Eastern Christianity. For centuries, Ukraine has been a meeting place of various cultures. Situated between Central Europe, Russia, and the Middle East, Ukraine was shaped by the empires that used it as a strategic gateway between East and West-from the Roman and Ottoman empires to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. As the award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues in The Gates of Europe, we must examine Ukraine's past in order to understand its present and future. But today's conflict is only the latest in a long history of battles over Ukraine's territory and its existence as a sovereign nation. Ukraine is currently embroiled in a tense fight with Russia to preserve its territorial integrity and political independence. "An exemplary account of Europe's least-known large country" (Wall Street Journal) by an award-winning historian. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence.

While the topic may not be completely new, Kim Soom’s One Left scores over other titles because of its authenticity. To my knowledge, Bracht is the first author without Korean heritage to address the subject before her came English language titles by Chang-Rae Lee ( A Gesture Life, 1999) and Nora Okja Keller ( Comfort Woman, 1998) and probably others too. That title also is mostly set in a Manchurian comfort station. It is unfortunate that during the time it took to translate and find a publisher, Mary Lynn Bracht’s fine White Chrysanthemum (2018) hit the bookshops. Sure, the title doesn’t have the mass appeal of a Please Look After Mother or the latest K-noir, but it deserves a readership. It is also a little surprising that it took so long to find a publisher for its English translation. When the issue of comfort women has been with us since the Pacific War, to re-emerge in 1991 when Kim Haksun came forward as the first to announce herself as victim, it is astonishing that we had to wait until 2016 for what is, according to Bonnie Oh’s introduction (p ix), “the first Korean novel devoted exclusively to the subject”. Even readers who like their melodrama thick will have problems as Hannah pushes credibility to the breaking point, and more than once. This familiar story takes an unfortunate turn deep into after-school-special territory when Lexi, Mia, and Zach collectively make a bad decision that results in a tragedy with extreme repercussions. But trouble begins in senior year with a slowly growing attraction between Zach and Lexi, who take great pains to make Mia comfortable with the change in the dynamics. The friendship flourishes, and Mia's mother, Jude, relieved and pleased for her daughter, draws Lexi into the family circle. When Lexi Baill enters their lives, no one is more supportive than Jude. Her twins, Mia and Zach, are bright and happy teenagers. Despite financial problems, the two are glad to have found each other, and though Lexi resolves to stay safely on the periphery at her new high school, she soon meets Mia, unhappy and awkward despite a solid family life, a loving twin brother, Zach, and a closetful of clothes. Jude Farraday is a happily married, stay-at-home mom who puts everyone’s needs above her own. After a string of foster homes and the death of her heroin-addict mother, Lexi Baill is taken in by a newly discovered great-aunt who lives a spartan life near Seattle. Hannah follows up Winter Garden with a strained story of friendship, social pressures, love, and forgiveness. Readers are familiar with the litany of maladies Carr highlights: loss of focus, constant need for stimuli, cognitive overwhelm, disorienting context-switching, diminished short-term and long term memory, and emotional anxiety just to name a few. They supply the stuff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought.” “It’s just a tool,” the pundits say, “ how we use the technology is what really matters.” But Carr strongly disagrees with this notion: “media aren’t just channels of information. Whether I’m online or not, my mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles.” The lie we tell ourselves, says Carr, is that the technology doesn’t matter. In an early chapter, he articulates his foreboding: “what the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation. In the ensuing decade, smartphones and social media have achieved an unparalleled cultural primacy and Carr’s message is not so easily disregarded.Ĭarr wrote this book because he observed-with great alarm-that deep, focused reading was becoming increasingly difficult for him and his peers. These deleterious effects were poorly understood and readily dismissed in 2010 when Carr first published The Shallows. The impact has brought positive and negative changes, but it is the latter that is given the spotlight. The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains by Nicholas Carr (10th anniversary edition, 2020) is critical exploration on the impact of the internet on human cognition. Hari, Gaal, and Salvor discover a colony of Mentalics with psionic abilities that threaten to alter psychohistory itself. As the Cleons unravel, a vengeful queen plots to destroy Empire from within. Season 2 is set more than a century after the finale of the first season, “tension mounts throughout the galaxy in Foundation season two. Enraged by Hari's claims, the ruling Cleons - a long line of emperor clones - fear their unrivaled reign may be weakening as they're forced to reckon with the potential reality of losing their powerful legacy forever." Hari Seldon predicts the impending fall of the Empire, “he and a band of loyal followers venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish The Foundation in an attempt to rebuild and preserve the future of civilization. The story chronicles a band of exiles on their epic journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire.
