It included three core concepts: (1) that the universe is regulated by scientific laws created by a higher intelligence (2) that within all human beings there is a divine nature, an inner tendency towards goodness and (3) that according to the law of evolution, all human beings will eventually actualize their divine potential. Nightingale’s work in nursing and public health was based on a profound spiritual philosophy she had developed in her adolescence and early adulthood. Upon His carrying out such laws depends our responsibility” (Nightingale, Notes, 25). In her textbook Notes on Nursing she wrote: “God lays down certain physical laws. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Nightingale saw no conflict between science and spirituality. (Reproductions and analyses of these charts can be found in Cohen.) A pioneer in the use of statistics, she used her famous pie charts to show the reduction in the death rates from infectious diseases after a series of sanitary reforms had been implemented. This image is not only factual but highly symbolic, for she brought an enlightened vision to the healthcare at the British military hospital.

The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Her Mysteries stories have charmed generations of children - and they are as popular today as they have ever been. Thanks to series such as The Wishing-Chair, The Faraway Tree-, The Mysteries, The Famous Five and The Secret Seven, she has sold over 400 million books in more than 40 languages worldwide. Enid Blyton is arguably the most famous children's author of all time. The Mystery series follows the adventures of 'The Five Find Outers' - Pip, Bets, Larry, Daisy and Fatty, as they solve the most unusual crime cases with the help of their dog Buster. He couldn't possibly be the thief.Or could he? All will be revealed in The Mystery of the Disappearing Cat. It's another mystery for the Find-Outers! The gardener, Luke, always seems so friendly. Lady Candling's best Siamese cat has gone missing. A fantastic children's crime story from the world's best-loved children's author, Enid Blyton. Like cross-training in sports.Ĭreativity and unhappiness?: Mihaly's research disconfirms the trope of the restless and miserable creative soul. This naive treatment clearly foreshadows the possible benefits of the two fields interacting with one another. All things equal, the specialists would probably be better at their crafts than the one that has chosen to split his attention between both. Imagine three people: one a physicist and a musician and one that is both. Overall some gems but not without issues especially towards the end, where the book becomes less psychology and more self-help. He selected industry vets: people aged 60 and above from a variety of fields and cultures. He conducted interviews with 91 people that were deemed creative because of their impact on a field or because they helped to create a new one. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi of "Flow" fame is a psychologist, and takes a qualitative user research approach to the subject of creativity. I recently ran a book club at work discussing Range, and CB mentioned that this book is less Gladwellian and more nuanced covering a similar theme. The relationship between flighty, unmotivated main character Jayne and her Type A older sister June just might give you Fleabag flashbacks. Oh, and to top it all off, her older sister June - wealthy, put-together, finance extraordinaire - lives in NYC, too, though they barely speak. It follows Jayne Baek, who’s barely getting by as she attempts to balance the stress of living in New York City with 1.) making it through fashion school, 2.) mustering the courage to cut off a deadbeat, f*ck-boy boyfriend, for good, 3.) friends who are more like frenemies, and 4.) an ED that she’s vainly trying to ignore exists. Yolk has much darker themes than Choi’s previous YA novels, Emergency Contact and Permanent Record, tackling eating disorders, depression/anxiety, cancer, a suffocating need for validation, and the love-hate-love bond that only exists between siblings. And chaotic! And messy! And.ok I’ll stop with all the adjectives, now. One of the biggest reasons I love her books is, similar to Angie Thomas, she’s able to make her characters feel so genuine and real and lived in and complex. □Breaking news□- Mary HK Choi has done it again. Sometimes the best thing you can do is talk about it.” Where is the new The Doors of Stone chapter that Patrick Rothfuss promised? For instance, a while back Patrick Rothfuss promised his readers a brand new chapter from The Doors of Stone as a way to incentivize them to support his charity Worldbuilders…and more than a year later, he still hasn’t delivered it or updated fans in months as to why, even after the fundraising goals were met. That said, there are questions that remain open. Moreover, Rothfuss has been pretty open about how mental health and certain events in his life have affected his writing process. I firmly believe that authors should take as long they need to write a book that satisfies them. The Doors of Stone does not yet have a release date, and for my money that’s fine. Martin’s sixth A Song of Ice and Firenovel The Winds of Winter, few other books have inspired such a lasting sense of anticipation over the years. Over a decade later, and we’re still waiting on The Doors of Stone, the third and purportedly final book in the series. The second book in the author’s enormously popular Kingkiller Chronicleseries came out way back in 2011. Fans of Patrick Rothfuss are accustomed to waiting by now.

Nameless #1 is a dark horror story reminiscent of Scanners, They Live, Videodrome, and the like. Even the asteroid Xibalba has a cryptic symbol on it, one that’s showing up on Earth as well. I scoured Nameless #1 for hidden messages, one less obvious of which is the chilling line, “Zirom trian ipam ipamis” which I’m pretty sure is an anagram for something that some interweb geek has already figured out. Background words, signs, and creatures don’t exactly make sense, something I’d expect if I were dreaming. He shows it’s a place where anything can and does happen, colors span from glowing pinks to worldly blues. I particularly like the dream sequences, something Chris Burnham has penciled up perfectly. Grant Morrison has created a frightening world, one that exists on multiple plains. Nameless is a horror story through and through, one you want to dig deeper and deeper in to. The story is quite unique but strangely isn’t the highlight of Nameless #1. This makes him particularly valuable to some and a menace to others. “Nameless”, while he points out is still a name, has the unique ability to transcend dream states. Nameless #1 explores the dark worlds of the occult and the doomed distant future. Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham team up again for something a little more cryptic and messed up than the Batman and Robin we’ve seen in the past. This is a bibliography of the Scottish comic book writer Grant Morrison. It's certainly in charge of the resurrection process, though not who is resurrected and when. We open on Ikaris, the last of the Eternals to be resurrected by "The Machine," an artificial intelligence that sort of governs Eternal society.although "governs" is probably the wrong word.I don't mean it in the political sense. Which ties this book not only to the Avengers, but.thematically, at least.to Hickman's X-Men, which also deals with the nature of eternal life through resurrection. But, this is comics, and, unsurprisingly in a book about a race called the Eternals, death is not the end for them. When we last saw the Eternals, in the pages of Jason Aaron's Avengers, they'd all committed suicide after discovering that the Celestials did not create them to protect humanity, as they had thought, but to cultivate them. In X, the case is even less interesting than in W, with much of the the story dealing with loose threads left behind from the earlier one, and Grafton’s penchant to spell out in detail everything Kinsey does, from preparing breakfast, dealing with her landlord Henry’s cat, to delineating every turn along the way, complete with street names, whenever she drives from one place in the fictional town of Santa Teresa to another, seems to have gotten worse. “I’m also not sure why Grafton has Kinsey relate everything she does, down to the minutest bit of minutia possible, whether it be meals, areas of town she drives through, or the GNP of the nation.” Going back to read my review of W Is for Wasted, I see some significant signs of how Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone series was progressing back then, and to my mind, the answer is not well.įirst of all, I said, “The case itself is not all that interesting…,” then I said: Putnam’s Sons, hardcover, August 2015 paperback “premium edition,” August 2016. However, other researchers who have tried to verify his citations find nothing in these sources to back Haining's claims. In two controversial books, Haining argued that Sweeney Todd was a real historical figure who committed his crimes around 1800, was tried in December 1801, and was hanged in January 1802. In the Seventies he wrote three novels, including The Hero (1973), which was optioned for filming. He edited a large number of anthologies, predominantly of horror and fantasy short stories, wrote non-fiction books on a variety of topics from the Channel Tunnel to Sweeney Todd and also used the pen names "Ric Alexander" and "Richard Peyton" on a number of crime story anthologies. Haining achieved the position of Editorial Director before becoming a full time writer in the early Seventies. Born in Enfield, Middlesex, he began his career as a reporter in Essex and then moved to London where he worked on a trade magazine before joining the publishing house of New English Library. Peter Alexander Haining (Ap– November 19, 2007) was a British journalist, author and anthologist who lived and worked in Suffolk. |
