Fortunately we are entering a period when women are more likely to get their due? More rare in contrast, especially for the time, was Marie Curie’s husband who was her colleague, but who also championed her work. Horrible as it is to read of a marginalized woman, it is a story that is all to familiar. I believe that this book puts forward a version of events that is close to what actually happened. Although the vast sum of this book is biography, it is respectfully fictionalized to weave history’s threads together in a way that makes perfect sense. It is the story of Einsteins wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated and may have been inspired by her own profound and very personal insight. Since the 80’s when the letters were published, this issue has been hotly debated and remains unresolved.Ĭuriosity over this has not been mine alone, and finally there is a book putting pieces of this story together. 'The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einsteins enormous shadow. The fact that when she divorced him she was awarded all financial proceeds from his future Nobel prizes, only supported all sorts of evidence from letters that the early work was actually hers. ![]() Einstein’s role in the origin of the theory of relativity.

I wasn’t sure where my roommate was working tonight.Ī giant man opened the door as I approached, so I went to check inside first. There was also an adjacent restaurant that seemed to be popular before the bar crowd took over. I remembered from the one time I’d come that there were three bars…the rooftop, one inside, and one outside on the deck that overlooked the beach. People were smoking out front, and the music from inside blared so loud that the windows vibrated. The parking lot at The Heights was packed. I brushed on some mascara, let my hair down from the bun, and didn’t bother to put my contacts back in. After the last run-in I had with a guy there, I definitely wasn’t looking to attract attention. The women were all thin and flaunted excessive, perfectly tanned skin. It was the type of place that snotty, rich, yuppie guys sported polos with little horses embroidered on them and loafers with no socks. My roommate, Riley, bartended in one of the trendy Hampton bars down by the beach. I had no makeup on and already switched out my contacts for glasses that hid my tired, blue eyes. ![]() My dark hair was in a messy bun piled on top of my head. ![]() No one will care if you don’t know how to make a drink with those on display.” “Thank you!

Throughout, Haines-Eitzen uses the notion of a palimpsest in its broadest sense to highlight the problems of representation, layering, erasure, and reinscription. It is the 2nd book in the Men of Memphis Blues series. The book is organized in two sections, the first of which treats historical questions: To what extent were women authors, scribes, book-lenders, and patrons of early Christian literature? How should we understand the representation of women readers in ascetic literature? The second section of the book turns to text-critical questions: How and why were stories of women modified in the process of copying? And how did debates about asceticism - and, more specifically, the human body - find their way into the textual transmission of canonical and apocryphal literature? Oxford Research Encyclopedias: Global Public Healthīooks and bodies, women and books lie thematically at the center of The Gendered Palimpsest, which explores the roles that women played in the production, reproduction, and dissemination of early Christian books, and how the representation of female characters is contested through the medium of writing and copying.The European Society of Cardiology Series. ![]() Oxford Commentaries on International Law. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thematically, the text focuses on the Theseus-Ariadne-Minotaur cycle: in Part One, the authors were young enough to “re=verb=erate” when struck with the myth Part Two allowed Nichol and Clifford the space to step back in order to devise a way to say ‘love’ more acutely finally, Part Three presents a stunning example of one man’s grief for a lost friend and collaborator. After Nichol’s death, Clifford completed the work, adding Part Three-composed of elements of Nichol’s Martyrology-as a means of tribute, eulogy, acceptance and lie. These long gestation periods allowed the writers the space and time to re/consider, knowing the text would always be there to augment. Part Two was composed over many years of revisiting and revising. This didn’t work out, so Nichol and Clifford rewrote a section to produce Part One of the present text. To begin, Nichol had also wanted to include two West Coast poets in the writing process. ![]() ![]() bpNichol and Wayne Clifford had worked together early in their literary careers in fact, Clifford had been the editor of Nichol’s first trade book, published with Coach House Press. The collaboration for this new book began in the autumn of 1966.

They are one of the best storytelling teams in comics. At Keyhouse, shadows come to life, and a giant walks.Ĭrown of Shadows, the third installment of the award-winning Locke & Key series, co-credits writer Hill and illustrator Rodriguez as “storytellers,” and it’s an apt designation, shown by the seamlessness with which the text and art interact. Locking things away doesn’t make them any safer. The remaining members of the Locke family are still rebuilding their lives, in the wake of the devastating events that began in Welcome to Lovecraft and Headgames, but there is no key to make that rebuilding easier. Now in possession of the Shadow Key, Dodge uses it to continue his quest for the mysterious Omega Key. ![]() And the shadows of Keyhouse have their own key as well.

My job is to help edit the books where it seems appropriate, to offer advice and guidance where I can, and to promote the great books we publish. (*And when I use the term myth, I use it in its first and most basic sense: a traditional story about gods and heroes, not in its later, more secondary connotation as something false or made up.)Īre the Rick Riordan Presents connected to Percy Jackson’s world? Let them tell their own stories, and I would do whatever I could to help those books find a wide audience! ![]() ![]() Much better, I thought, to use my experience and my platform at Disney to put the spotlight on other great writers who are actually from those cultures and know the mythologies* better than I do. Over the years, I’ve gotten many questions from my fans about whether I might write about various world mythologies, but in most cases I knew I wasn’t the best person to write those books. Our goal is to publish great middle grade authors from underrepresented cultures and backgrounds, to let them tell their own stories inspired by the mythology and folklore of their own heritage. In other words, they will probably be some type of middle grade adventure, with lots of humor and action, and probably draw on myth or folklore in some way. ![]() All these will be books that my editor Stephanie Lurie and I feel will appeal to kids who like my books.

And lastly, there's Mannon Cable, famous celebrity, who has a hankering for his ex-wife, and screw the current one, who can't do anything right. Then there's Howard "I can quit the cocaine anytime I want" Soloman, who is the head of a major movie studio. There's Jack Python (lol), the sexy TV talk show host who also happens to be the brother of a famous star, Silver Anderson. ![]() HOLLYWOOD HUSBANDS is the story of a bunch of famous bros who basically prance around Hollywood with their dongs hanging out of their pants. Where does HOLLYWOOD HUSBANDS fit in to that ranking? That's actually a tough question. Did I mention that she's very hit or miss? SINNERS almost got a 2-star rating from me because it left such a bad taste in my mouth, whereas AMERICAN STAR just replaced LUCKY as my favorite of hers. Now I'm sitting here, post-Jackie, and reflecting on the garbage I just read. You pick up the Jackie Collins and take a shot - in fact, you take three. Jackie Collins is the literary equivalent of cheap tequila - you know, in principle, that you probably shouldn't do it, but it's such an easy way to have a good time. ![]() ![]() ![]() At the time you were marketing the first instalment in your young adult series, Dark Inside, which was published back in 2011.

Vodka’s neutral nature makes the additional ingredients (cranberry juice, for example) stand out more. Kentucky bourbon has built a lot of schools and roads in the “Bluegrass State.” Furthermore, when you buy a bottle of bourbon in Kentucky, roughly 60 percent of the average cost is tax, according to the Kentucky Distillers' Association.
