Pat Nixon by Julie Nixon Eisenhower5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() The book is an intimate insider's view of Ike and his wife, Mamie, as they retired to their farm in Gettysburg, Pa., where David's father, John, lived with his family. Eisenhower, 1961-1969, published in October, marks the first time they've worked together on a book. Going Home to Glory: A Memoir of Life With Dwight D. His first book about his grandfather, Eisenhower at War, 1943-1945, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 1987. ![]() David is director of the Institute for Public Service at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication. Julie has written several books, including Pat Nixon: The Untold Story. The couple have spent their lives writing, teaching and lecturing. "Both of us having been brought up in such public families, we just really wanted something different for our children." "Whenever push came to shove, we always thought about the children," Julie Eisenhower said, referring to their three children, now adults. They declined opportunities to run for public office. "As a baseball fan, I felt disoriented enough on that Saturday to have it pass through my mind, 'Geez, I'm glad I'm not causing this.' So I applied the lessons." Both Eisenhowers have sought a life away from the limelight ever since. ![]() "Dave … was scarred for life," Julie said, laughing. ![]() David Eisenhower, a lifelong sports fan, didn't want a repeat of what happened in 1966 when the broadcast of a baseball game was canceled to cover the wedding of President Lyndon Johnson's daughter Luci.

Dreamology5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() Time–space compression occurs as a result of technological innovations driven by the global expansion of capital that condense or elide spatial and temporal distances, including technologies of communication (telegraph, telephones, fax machines, Internet) and travel (rail, cars, trains, jets), driven by the need to overcome spatial barriers, open up new markets, speed up production cycles, and reduce the turnover time of capital.Īccording to Paul Virilio, time-space compression is an essential facet of capitalist life, saying that "we are entering a space which is speed-space. A similar idea was proposed by Elmar Altvater in an article in PROKLA in 1987, translated into English as "Ecological and Economic Modalities of Time and Space" and published in Capitalism Nature Socialism in 1990. It is rooted in Karl Marx's theory of the "annihilation of space by time" originally elaborated in the Grundrisse, and was later articulated by Marxist geographer David Harvey in his book The Condition of Postmodernity. ![]() ![]() Time–space compression (also known as space–time compression and time–space distanciation) is an idea referring to the altering of the qualities of space–time and the relationship between space and time that is a consequence of the expansion of capital. ![]() Wikipedia Rate this definition: 0.0 / 0 votes ![]() K webster stroke of midnight5/22/2023 ![]() You can easily find K Webster on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Goodreads!Ĭan’t find a certain book?

Reed is caught up in the throes of their clear wealth, power and popularity. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once she arrives, she discovers that the real elite at the school is found within the Billings house, occupied by the Billings girls. Reed Brennan is a poor girl from a small town who gets a scholarship to study at an elite boarding school. While the series did take a bit of a strange turn toward the end, I did very much enjoy it as a teenager and it helped me to escape to a world of wealth and privilege. I read every single one of these dark young adult novels about young love, murder, secrecy, legacy and friendship. My first series may come as a bit of a surprise to you, but I was enthralled with the Private series by Kate Brian. This new section of my blog is going to look at those series from those authors as a whole and give an overview of why I think that the series deserves such high praise, as well as how it related to me when I read it. Okay, so reviews of books I have read recently aside, I have read some fantastic series over the years from YA and adult authors. ![]() Narwhal and jelly jolt5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() The interludes include fun nature facts about both narwhal and jellyfish and a narwhal song.Įvery chance this guy has to draw a waffle, he will draw a waffle.Īnd it's that sort of charming silliness that activated my giggles when i thought i had no giggles left to spare. In the first story, narwhal and jellyfish suss each other out, taxonomically, in the second, they expand their social circle to include many other aquatic pals, and in the third, narwhal shares his favorite book with jellyfish and everyone learns a little something about the power of imagination. It's three short stories with two shorter interludes between 'em. Or, rather, who become friends after some initial suspicion on the part of the jellyfish. This is just a cute book about a narwhal and a jellyfish who are friends. ![]() I mean, look at that - how can you be anything but charmed by that face? If i'm being honest, this doesn't really stand up to my other five star ratings, even my five star ratings specific to other children's picture books.īut sometimes it's just about what you need at a particular time, and this book brought a goofy smile to my face when i really really needed it. ![]() Made to Forget... by Sam Goodno5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() I think my lived experience of the ‘last taboo’ or the ‘Big M’ (thankfully one rarely hears it called ‘THE CHANGE’ anymore with all its doom-laden, metamorphic overtones) might be useful out there in the ether where women are searching for something that relates to their own experience. June Everything I needed to know about the menopause… No One Told Me I hope all of you find your way through, with or without medical help. ![]() And to see so many of you posting and talking to each other about your experiences and supporting each other is a joy. I am so glad I did – if knowing that you are not alone has helped just one other woman, just one little bit, then it is so worthwhile. ![]() I also spent quite a while making my mind up whether to share such a personal experience. When I wrote this in 2015, I had no idea it would still be being read and resonating with women 5 years later. To all you lovely women who have commented on this blog – THANK YOU. A message to readers from June Girvin, July 2020: Page last updated 25 April 2022 with the addition of links to resources at the end of the blog. ![]() This blog is one of several in a special series on the menopause.

Hicks has clearly done research-the sprawling city is crammed with buildings that are strikingly detailed and the clothing clearly has been designed with care. The fictional world that holds the Nameless City draws heavily from the architecture and dress of thirteenth century feudal China. Instead, the similarities lie more in tone and aesthetic. ![]() ![]() However, it’s not derivative of Avatar-there are no magic powers, and the sense of spirituality that infused the first series is only hinted at. Hicks has stated in interviews she was inspired by the series, and she has drawn at least one story in the Avatar comics universe. And, I’ll get it out of the way right now: there’s a definite Avatar: The Last Airbender vibe going on in this book, and it’s not entirely unintentional. With a long resume of excellent books, Hicks has often targeted middle-grade readers, and they are the intended audience for The Nameless City. ![]() The Nameless City is the first book in a planned trilogy by Eisner-winner Faith Erin Hicks.
