Newly appointed artist-in-residence at the Conservatory, Hanns arrives in Toronto with but one (sketchy) project in mind, a song cycle entitled “Winterfliege/Winterfly.” How fortunate he is to have found even this temporary position: his career was starting to look a little short and obscure itself. ![]() Thus, at least, imagines, sympathetically, the concert pianist Hanns Gellert its short, obscure life.

The Washington Post Book WorldĪ clear vision of what good science means and why it makes a difference. Rich in surprising information and beautiful writing. Carl Sagan’s book The Demon-Haunted World was published in 1996. A stirring defense of informed rationality. As Sagan demonstrates with lucid eloquence, the siren song of unreason is not just a cultural wrong turn but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens our most basic freedoms. And yet, disturbingly, in today's so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning with stories of alien abduction, channeling past lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect. How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we dont understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions.Ĭasting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. ![]() ![]() From the first page to the last, this book is a manifesto for clear thought. ![]() ![]() A prescient warning of a future we now inhabit, where fake news stories and Internet conspiracy theories play to a disaffected American populaceĪ glorious book. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Scarlet angel st abby read online![]() ![]() Instead, her protective instincts come alive. She doesn't murder innocents or prey on those that are good. It is in a direct contradiction to her cold, serial-killer persona. The only question is whether or not this witness will spill her secret to Logan.Īs the story progresses, Lana's humanity takes center stage. Lana's lethal abilities are no longer a secret known only by her and Jake. Someone else has fallen prey to the would-be rapist and is present to witness the showdown. Unbeknownst to Lana, she isn't alone with the Boogeyman. ![]() The Boogeyman has come for Lana and the story begins with a fierce fight between the two serial killers. ![]() Never a dull moment, this book picks up where the second one left off. After the second book's shocking ending, I could not wait a minute before starting 'Scarlet Angel'. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Wishtree![]() Red, is an old Oak Tree that has been around for over 200 years. And while I bought the beautiful hardback book, I didn’t read it, I listened to the two and a half hour audiobook version, and it was fabulous as well.Īside from maybe Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree, I can’t recall too many books being narrated by a tree, but like The Giving Tree, the lessons and wisdom come through loud and clear and stay with you long after the story has ended. The pages are well spaced and the black and white drawings keep the reader engaged. ![]() At 215 pages, this slow and thoughtful book is a short read on an AR 4.2 level. So I researched it a bit, and sure enough the discrimination of a Muslim family in this tree’s neighborhood is the catalyst of this giant Oak Tree, sharing her story and enlightening the characters and readers with her wisdom. ![]() ![]() I saw this book on Scholastic when I searched for “Muslim” on the website, a regular endeavor of mine, and was surprised to see it pop it since the synopsis on the back doesn’t mention Muslims or Islam. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments The works of william shakespeare![]() ![]() ![]() Is it any wonder that controversy swirls around the authorship of the 154 sonnets and some 37 plays credited to him? Skeptics have long belittled the notion of a barely educated small-town boy who moves to London to work as an actor and is suddenly writing masterpieces of unrivaled beauty and sophistication. In fact, there's no hard evidence that Will Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon (1564-1616), revered as the greatest author in the English language, could even write a complete sentence. Not so much as a couplet written in Shakespeare's own hand has been proven to exist. ![]() Even if you're a regular visitor to London, it's probably never occurred to you to stop in to see William Shakespeare's original manuscripts at the British Museum or Library. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Bones and all deangelis![]() ![]() ![]() Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery and due to various reasons, the delivery may take longer than the original estimated timeframe.
