5/30/2023 0 Comments Fiona maccarthy byron![]() ![]() ![]() Our understanding of Byron's bisexuality, an open secret within his own close circle, throws important light on the pattern of his life. First, MacCarthy clearly is more forthright than her predecessors in discussing Byron's sexuality, a forthrightness made possible by changes in public opinion and the legalization of homosexuality in England. Likewise other reviewers have complained that Fiona MacCarthy has either overemphasized Byron's homoerotic inclinations or slighted his poetry. Fleming is unhappy that MacCarthy portrays Byron's love interests as fundamentally male. ![]() According to her, MacCarthy is admirably responsive to Byron's poetry, but thoroughly dislikes him as a man. The opposite tack is taken by Anne Fleming in The Times Literary Supplement. Anne Barton in The New York Review of Books praises MacCarthy's "empathy with Byron" but deplores her "seeming lack of interest in poetry generally, and of Byron's in particular," finally admitting that the biography is "balanced, fair, thoroughly researched, and beautifully written." 674 pages, $35.įIONA MacCarthy has written the most important Byron biography in half a century, published by John Murray, Byron's own publisher. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Malibu rising evelyn hugo![]() June and Mick agree to raise the baby, Hud, as their own. One day, a woman shows up and drops off a baby, saying Mick is the father. June and Mick fall in love and get married, but once Mick's career starts to take off, he habitually cheats on June. ![]() Mick had a difficult childhood and dreams of stardom. ![]() June's parents own a restaurant on the Malibu coast. The siblings' parents are June and Mick Riva. It's the day of the Rivas annual party at Nina's house, a major social event that attracts all types of celebrities.Īs story then jumps back and forth in time to tell the history of the Riva family. In Part I, the book opens in 1983 and introduces the four Riva siblings. But by then, Nina is already on a plane to live out her dream of living an unassuming life of surfing and eating fresh fish in Madeira, Portugal. Before he leaves, Mick tosses a cigarette that starts a fire that ends up burning down the house. Mick shows up to try to reconcile with his kids, but they reject his false promises and Nina finally is able to tell him off. They struggle along until Nina becomes a swimsuit model, and Nina start throwing an annual party at her house that attracts a lot of famous people. Their mother accidentally drowns, leaving the eldest (Nina) to raise the rest of them. ![]() The one-paragraph version of this: Malibu Rising is about four siblings whose father (Mick) leaves them to become a music legend. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When you pick it up it has a pleasant sheen to it, a certain crispness that is nice to hold and nice to look at. The best example of this is the book itself. Thus the authors argue that products should either be able to return to the biological cycle (basically, soil and water) and safely biodegrade, or to the technical cycle to be infinitely recycled. ![]() What does that mean in practical terms? It means that we design buildings that clean the air, purify the water and produce more energy than the use, because then we are providing things to nature rather than simply taking things away from her and then converting those things into products that cannot be returned to nature because they are now toxic and often do not biodegrade. It is a model for a new type of industrial revolution as well as a philosophical argument against nature as a tool of man and for man as being a tool of nature. It is a book that seeks to change the very nature of how we do business and how we interact. It is a book that precipitates a paradigm shift in how one things about ecology, design, economics, business and human relations. In other words, it is not a book that merely informs the reader. Book Review: Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, by William McDonough and Michael BraungartĬradle to Cradle is one of those book that changes you. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Book the color monster![]() ![]() She repeats this format in three simple sentences with each of the emotions: sadness, anger, fear, calmness, happiness. ![]() She normalizes the emotions and doesn’t label them as good or bad they just ARE. What I love about The Color Monster, aside from the perfectly charming monster, is that the author, Anna Llenas, names each emotion, describes it, and gives an example of how it might feel. In my experience as a first grade teacher, I witnessed on a daily basis that those children who were able to name and understand their own feelings were able to handle the ups and downs of childhood with much more confidence and maturity than their peers who lacked that understanding. As a child’s emotional intelligence grows, they are increasingly able to use their emotional information to guide their own thinking and behaviour in other words, to calm themselves down. Learning about feelings and emotions is part of developing positive self-esteem and better relationships with others. It’s important for children to learn to identify and express a wide range of feelings, while also understanding that others have feelings, too. ![]() It’s called The Color Monster: A Pop-Up Book of Feelings by Anna Llenas. My daughter-in-law purchased a book I immediately fell in love with and just HAD to share! Inside: Helping your children explore their feelings with a wonderful book and follow-up activities.

There was a minor book avalanche here last weekend. Olivia shared her first bookmash, evoking a nature walk in winter.ĭebbie Bambridge’s first bookmash is very funny: “ This charming man…“ (aka made a lovely bookmash beginning with the line “ All these voices.” Martha Barnette did me the honour of reading this bookmash aloud on A Way With Words, the public-radio language show she co-hosts with Grant Barrett.Īdrian of The Outer Hoard had the marvellous idea of rearranging my older bookmashes to make two “stanmashes”. Let me know if you join in, and I’ll update accordingly. Lots more of these in the bookmash archive, along with links to other people’s. With thanks to the authors: Daniel Everett, Theodore Roszak, John McGahern, Jane Goodall, Margaret Killjoy, and Henry Hitchings and special thanks to Nina Katchadourian for her Sorted Books project. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Ready player two book![]() ![]() ![]() Wade's life and the future of the Oasis are again at stake, but this time the fate of humanity also hangs in the balance.

When I grew up in the 60's and 70's, I spent hours with my sister and various friends playing with Barbie and her many sisters, friends, boyfriends and accessories. I'm not embarrassed to admit it in this blog or elsewhere-I love Barbie, still the world's best-selling doll, over 50 years after she was introduced by Mattel. ![]() |
