![]() ![]() The pendulum used by Julie’s grandmother to divine good from bad and true from false becomes a symbol for the elusiveness of truth and morality, but also for the false securities we cling to when we become unmoored. Her 2018 memoir, The Pendulum A Granddaughter’s Search for Her Family’s Forbidden Nazi Past (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018, paperback 2022) reveals her 6-year journey through Europe and Latin America to discover the role her grandparents played in the Third Reich – her grandfather had been a fanatic member of the SS since 1934 and was responsible for enslavement and torture and was complicit in the murder of the local population on the large estates he oversaw in occupied Poland. ![]() Julie Lindahl is a multi-national author, activist and educator living in Sweden. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Grounded, with nothing to do but wait, the trio-an exiled artist with an appointment to keep, a cargo runner at a personal crossroads, and a mysterious individual doing her best to help those on the fringes-are compelled to confront where they’ve been, where they might go, and what they are, or could be, to each other. When a freak technological failure halts all traffic to and from Gora, three strangers-all different species with different aims-are thrown together at the Five-Hop. The Five-Hop is run by an enterprising alien and her sometimes helpful child, who work hard to provide a little piece of home to everyone passing through. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop.Īt the Five-Hop One-Stop, long-haul spacers can stretch their legs (if they have legs, that is), and get fuel, transit permits, and assorted supplies. The only thing it has going for it is a chance proximity to more popular worlds, making it a decent stopover for ships traveling between the wormholes that keep the Galactic Commons connected. With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She reacts to each ordeal with fear and manages to escape before the spirals show up yet again. ![]() Characters enter the story only to become part of the town's body count, and Kirie, a constant survivor, is no more than a vehicle for the next spooky outbreak of deadly spirals. ![]() Ito knows how to make readers' hearts drop and stomachs turn, but once the scare factor wears off there's not much more to the book. When she's at home or school, things seem normal, but the sudden contrasts between the ordinary events of everyday life and this mysterious invasion of chaotic, threatening spirals makes the horror all the more shocking. Readers witness these chilling disturbances through Kirie, a wide-eyed schoolgirl with a pixie cut, whose world is drawn in typical, lighthearted teen-romance manga style. The spirals even begin to infect people's bodies, leaving grotesque spiral voids. Soon, things intensify: a lighthouse throws out spiral beams at dusk babies are born, only to sprout spiral-capped mushroom-shaped appendages from their stomachs one man becomes obsessed with spirals until he goes completely mad. When corpses are cremated, the smoke forms a black spiral in the sky, and the clouds form swirls like those in Van Gogh's The Starry Night. The townspeople of Kurôzu-cho are being haunted by a strange infection of spirals. ![]() ![]() ![]() È uscito ora un libro di Boris Battaglia Corto.

An alien warrior discovers what it is to love. ![]() ![]() ![]() Interestingly, though, Ogden and Richards show signs of an early cognitivism, which raises the question of whether contemporary cognitive science is perhaps more indebted to the stimulus–response paradigm than it would care to admit. These differences are related to differences in how the human mind is conceived: while Saussure sees thought as embedded in language, and while he invests the mind with the power to order and regulate the chaos inherent in language, Ogden and Richards, writing very much in the wake of the new psychology of stimulus–response behaviourism, separate thought from language, and divest the mind of any power to resist ‘the power of words’. Moreover, while Saussure sees language as turning in upon itself, with the sign referring not to things in an extra‐linguistic reality but to other signs within the same linguistic structure, Ogden and Richards see language as referring beyond itself, to a reality outside language. ![]() While Saussure's linguistic model is dialectical and synthetic, with the two elements of the linguistic sign (signal and signification) being compared to the two sides of a sheet of paper, Ogden and Richards' is tripartite and analytic, with the three elements involved in the language situation (word, thought and thing) being represented as the three points of a triangle. Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) received his doctorate from the University of Leipzig in 1880 and lectured on ancient and modern languages in Paris until 1891. ![]() This paper returns to two key texts in the history of linguistic theory: Saussure's Course in General Linguistics (1916) and Ogden and Richards' The Meaning of Meaning (1923).

The author does an amazing job bringing me into the book by starting with a conflict that Larry Bird had to face at the end of his high school years. The readers are sent through numerous conflicts as they achieve their biggest goals, NCAA championships and an NBA title.Įven though Bird and Johnson have been credited the author of this amazing book, we can see that it is MacMullan’s book as we see that most of it is written in third person. From the end of their high school years to the college games between Indiana State and Michigan State, and ending with their final professional basketball games, they have been in a competition. ![]() The book takes us behind the scenes of both players’ progression in the game of basketball. ![]() When the Game was ours takes us into the famous rivalry between the two best basketball players of all time in Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. ![]() ![]() ![]() With its opening excursion to Paris, the narrative continues to push us toward a future in which American cities might improve on their own terms, rather than on those of the European past. ![]() Always with an eye toward architecture and urban planning, Rybczynski also situates his observations in a strong narrative about the rise of industrialism and consumer culture. City Life’s historical narrative is a valuable resource: it provides a quick, fairly detailed account of the environmental, social, economic, and technological factors that have contributed to the development of American towns and cities from colonial times to the present day. ![]() The hygienic notion of Parisian safety and beauty hovers over the rest of the book, which is by and large a fast-paced, informative history of the American city, told with occasional personal musings from the point of view of a Canadian who has recently moved to Philadelphia. The comparison instructs us at the outset to consider why American cities are not more like Paris, with its “aesthetic vision” (p. Near the beginning of City Life, Witold Rybczynski informs the reader that the ratio of police to citizens in Paris is 15:1,000 in New York City, it is 4:1,000 and in Los Angeles, 2:1,000. ![]() |
