![]() The world of preadolescents is as passionate and intense, if not more so, as that of adults. The tragedy of Othello is vividly transposed to a 1970s suburban Washington school, where kids fall in and out of love with each other before lunchtime, and practice a casual racism picked up from their parents and teachers. When Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl, the school and its key players-teachers and pupils alike-will never be the same again. But one boy, used to holding sway in the world of the schoolyard, can’t stand to witness the budding relationship. ![]() ![]() “O felt her presence behind him like a fire at his back.”Īrriving at his fourth school in six years, diplomat’s son Osei Kokote-“O” for short-knows he needs an ally if he is to survive his first day, so he is lucky to hit it off with Dee, the most popular girl in school. ![]()

![]() ![]() At the outset, the Arabs sought to limit Jewish immigration and territorial ambitions, while making Palestine ungovernable for the British. xiii) With the release in 2003 of British Security Service (MI5) documents covering the British struggles in Palestine after WWI and drawing on related firsthand diplomatic accounts, Hoffman was able to analyze the emergence of terrorism as a tool by the Arabs and Jews to achieve their goals. Hoffman’s interest in this topic began while studying terrorism at Oxford University, when he became aware of the “centrality of intelligence” to the study of history in general and terrorism in particular. x) Anonymous Soldiers answers these questions using the Arab-Zionist conflict as a case study. Military Academy’s Combatting Terrorism Center, asks, if it doesn’t work, “why has it persisted for at least the past two millennia and indeed become an increasingly popular means of violent political expression in the 21st century?” (p.

Which is the cause and the effect of the absence of great artists. One thing admirable about the Arabs: they live their art, they sing and scatter it from day to day they don’t cling to it, they don’t embalm it in works. I despise those who can acknowledge beauty only when it’s already transcribed, interpreted. This land of pleasure satisfies without calming desire indeed, every satisfaction merely exalts it. Said cites one set of observations made by Gide’s protagonist, Michel: In Homos in 1995, Leo Bersani commented: “ The Immoralist, it would not be entirely unfair to say, is the story of a man whose discovery that he is a pederast transforms him from a prematurely dried-up bookworm into a passionate lover of life.” For ”life,” it is tempting to substitute “young men, mostly Arabs.” In 1993, in Culture and Imperialism, Edward Said, discussing The Immoralist, had focused his attention on the fact that a number of events are set in North Africa. It is disturbing, upsetting even, to read. ![]() ![]() Rereading Gide’s The Immoralist (1902) recently that is indeed how I experienced the text. Someone who is disturbing, perhaps, a troublemaker. There is an oft-cited sentence in André Gide’s journal entry for March 28, 1935, in which he notes: “Belle fonction à assumer : celle d’ inquiéteur.” One might translate inquiéteur many ways.

Named one of the 100 most important books published since World War II by the Times Literary Supplement, The Interpretation of Cultures transformed how we think about others' cultures and our own. A thick description explains not only the behavior, but the context in which it occurs, and to describe something thickly, Geertz argues, is the fundamental role of the anthropologist. Rather, it is a web of symbols that can help us better understand what that behavior means. Culture, Geertz argues, does not drive human behavior. With The Interpretation of Cultures, the distinguished anthropologist Clifford Geertz developed the concept of thick description, and in so doing, he virtually rewrote the rules of his field. One of the twentieth century's most influential books, this classic work of anthropology offers a groundbreaking exploration of what culture is ![]() ![]() This book should be a part of any Historical Romance library. Mary Jane Wells knocked it out of the park with this performance. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?Ĭome at once if convenient. But Wells makes it work, turning Ashbury into a hilarious, distinct, and lovable character. She makes him sound pompous, almost stuffy, which is not the typical voice for a love interest. I adored Mary Jane Wells's portrayal of Ashbury, the hero. Which character – as performed by Mary Jane Wells – was your favorite? This book is similar in concept to Lisa Kleypas's "Devil in Winter." In both books, two people get married to further their separate goals, but wind up falling in love. ![]() ![]() What other book might you compare The Duchess Deal to and why?

The human body is complex and doesn’t always use calories the way we think it does. They’re like balloons-when you put energy into them (by eating), they get bigger, and when you take it out (by exercising), they shrink back to normal size. Based on this theory, one might conclude that fat people are lazy and gluttonous. They believe that the reason so many people are overweight is because they eat too much unhealthy food and don’t exercise enough. Scientists don’t entirely understand why we get fat and how to prevent it without counting calories or changing our diet and exercise habits. We know that obesity is the result of taking in more calories than you burn. It can be caused by many factors, including genetics, environment and lifestyle choices. The reader will learn about the health benefits and repercussions of basic foods such as meat, milk, fish, vegetables and fruits.
