With her genius for demystifying science, Grandin draws on cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking. Do you have a keen sense of direction, a love of puzzles, the ability to assemble furniture without crying? You are likely a visual thinker. ![]() A landmark book that reveals, celebrates, and advocates for the special minds and contributions of visual thinkersĪ quarter of a century after her memoir, Thinking in Pictures, forever changed how the world understood autism, Temple Grandin-the “anthropologist on Mars,” as Oliver Sacks dubbed her-transforms our awareness of the different ways our brains are wired. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For the past two hundred years, the accursed Melmoth has been searching desperately for an escape from the infernal bargain he once made. Who is the sinister old man in the portrait and why is his uncle so anxious for him to burn it? Why is the Spanish man who saves him from drowning so frightened when he hears the name Melmoth?Īs he digs deeper into the mystery, an intricate and blood-chilling story begins to unfold. ![]() When a young Dublin student goes to pay his last respects to his dying uncle, he never imagines that he might chance upon a terrifying family secret. This sinister classic by Charles Robert Maturin, an eccentric Anglican priest from Ireland, has captured the imaginations of readers since its publication in 1820 and provided inspiration for many other Gothic masterpieces, including Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Grey and Sarah Perry's Melmoth. ![]() ![]() this book sets new standards for the application of language to music. ‘The word “masterpiece” should be used rarely if at all. In addition, the author ranges widely through the material of classical music which falls outside these categories. In this expanded edition, Rosen follows the development of each composer’s best known genres: for Haydn, the symphony and string quartet for Mozart, the concerto, string quintet and comic opera for Beethoven, the piano sonata. ![]() In the book, Rosen concentrates on the three major figures of the time – Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven – because ‘it is in terms of their achievements that the musical vernacular can best be defined’. pianist as well as as teacher at Harvard and Oxford, Charles Rosen produced the definitive survey of the language of the music of the classical period. With his experience as a world-class pianist as well as as teacher at Harvard and Oxford, Charles Rosen produced the definitive survey of the language of the music of the classical period. The Classical Style is an established classic which has remained in print since its first publication in 1971. ‘Brilliant and epoch-making.’ Times Literary Supplement ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Polyp graphic novel![]() ![]() To me, if I may use an Odyssey reference as the novel is chock full of them, it’s like Odysseus and Penelope are reunited and a tidal wave wipes them out. ![]() This ending reminds of the endings in which you have a character waking up at the end and having everything being “all a dream” or just straight up killing everything to tie up loose ends. ![]() And…that’s it we don’t know whether they live or not because it cuts to the Major family enjoying a shooting star in the tree house. However, I was angered by the ending of the novel: when Asterios and Hana are reunited at her home and reflecting on what they can possibly have again in a relationship, an asteroid comes out of nowhere on the next page heading straight for their house. I found the art style and the themes interesting, got a kick out of the references to Greek/Roman mythology and the duality themes, and I found nearly all of the characters interesting to follow (despite the rather little development they undergo as characters only Asterios really changes his ways in the stereotypical “man goes on life-changing journey and realizes he was wrong” arc), with Ursula Major and Hana being my personal favorites. Despite what the title of this reflection may say, I do not hate Asterios Polyp overall. ![]() ![]() It combined his peerless artistic and literary skills with a bleak, but never gratuitously unpleasant, narrative that was a world away from the big-hearted optimism of Aled Jones singing Walking In The Air. Yet it was his follow-up book, and later film, When The Wind Blows, that may be Briggs’s finest work. So there’s no point avoiding it.”Īs the world mourns the death of one of the great imaginative storytellers of the 20th and 21st centuries, most of the headlines have inevitably singled out The Snowman as Briggs’s best-known achievement. Granny and Grandpa die, dogs die, cats die, gerbils and those frightful things – what are they called? – hamsters: all die like flies. Children have got to face death sooner or later. ![]() He once said: “I don’t believe in happy endings. ![]() ![]() ![]() While generations of children were exhilarated by his seminal book – and subsequent animated film – The Snowman, Briggs himself eschewed sunny optimism for a more realistic, even pessimistic view of the world. Raymond Briggs, who has died aged 88, was, by his own admission, something of a curmudgeon. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Carson spring![]() "Spring Awakening" is a moving and memorable experience that also deals with important issues of mental health that are still relevant today.

But in the later chapters he thoroughly describes life in the Spirit with a clarity of writing style and depth of spirituality that has made him one of the great spiritual teachers of the twentieth century.
