![]() ![]() The frontrunners of the inclusive society, Britain and America, are showing worrying signs of lapsing into extractivism. ![]() Over all recent books proclaiming the virtues of the Western Way hangs the question: why does it appear to be going wrong? You will find no mention here of the Monroe Doctrine whereby the US claimed the right to regulate life in South America, or the Bay of Pigs invasion, or the Nicaraguan Contras, or the CIA and Pinochet, or exploitative US corporations. The legacy of the plundering conquistadores is repeatedly cited as the cause of South America's failure to develop fully inclusive societies. The one weakness in an otherwise even-handed account is a blind spot with regard to the US treatment of South America. ![]() ![]() Available as a print and as stationery cards. ![]() Available as a print and as stationery cards.Ī year later, Rackham would revolutionize the technology and economics of book art with his Alice in Wonderland illustrations Peter Pan became the R&D lab for his revolution, working within the limitations of the three-color printing process then available to create worlds of wonder with his meticulous ink lines, populating London’s familiar landscapes and places with otherworldly creatures of haunting tenderness and strangeness - Shakespearean fairies and talking mice and, of course, his signature enchanted trees. ![]() Barrie’s Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens ( public library | public domain) - the story of baby Peter, who, “like all infants,” was part bird but has now to learn to live an earthbound life - was published in 1906 with illustrations by the wildly imaginative, wildly prolific Arthur Rackham (September 19, 1867–September 6, 1939). ![]() In the first years of the twentieth century, a strange book titled The Little White Bird, or Adventures in Kensington Gardens enchanted readers with its fusion of whimsy and dark humor, its way of addressing adults in a way that honors the eternal child alive in each of us, and especially with one of its characters: a small boy named Peter Pan.įour years later, six of its chapters sprouted a new book, not for adults but for actual children. ![]() ![]() Webster's heroine stands out as one of the most compelling female characters on the early modern stage and, along with its exploration of familial bonds, ensures the play is as relevant today as when it was written. An analysis of the play in performance including recent productions inspired by the #MeToo movement as well as contemporary adaptations such as Allan Palileo's Ang Dukesa ng Malfi (set in the Philippines) and Debo Oluwatuminu's Iyalode of Eti (set in pre-colonial Yorubaland).A comprehensive introduction exploring the historical and literary contexts One of the great revenge tragedies based on a true story, though John Webster, the playwright, probably didnt know this.An annotated bibliography and suggestions for further reading.A detailed plot summary and annotations throughout the text.As well as the complete text of the play, this revised New Mermaid edition includes: ![]() A young widow, rich and beautiful, secretly marries her steward, against the wishes of her brothers, a cardinal and a judge, who have insinuated Bosola, a convicted murderer, into her household as 'intelligencer.'. This new edition of Webster's macabre masterpiece is accompanied by insightful commentary notes and a detailed introductory analysis of the play written by Karen Britland, making this the perfect edition for students. The Duchess of Malfi is John Websters masterpiece, and justly renowned as the Jacobean drama par excellence. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you present yourself as defeated, then people will react to you as if you are losing. It will increase your susceptibility to heart disease, cancer and dementia. It will render you more likely to abuse cocaine and alcohol, as you live for the present in a world full of uncertain futures. ![]() It will also decrease the probability that you will get to live in a good neighbourhood, have access to the highest quality resources, and obtain a healthy, desirable mate. This will make you less happy, and more anxious and sad, and more likely to back down when you should stand up for yourself. Then your brain will not produce as much serotonin. If you slump around, with the same bearing that characterizes a defeated lobster, people will assign you a lower status, and the old counter that you share with crustaceans, sitting at the very base of your brain, will assign you a low dominance number. Nonetheless, even if you came by your poor posture honestly - even if you were unpopular or bullied at home or in grade school - it’s not necessarily appropriate now. Maybe you’re even just a collection of bad habits. And maybe you’re not - but if you are, you don’t have to continue in that mode.

Edge-Mattos herself has encountered ghosts calling her name and other odd occurrences. Providence Ghost Tours guides on special Investigation Tours (not their regular tours) use dousing rods, spirit boxes, and EVP (electronic voice phenomena) recorders to communicate with the souls of the dearly not-so-departed. We felt cold chills, but we chalked it up to the weather. Some participants experience weird happenstance, like cameras and phones that won’t work, cold mists, and glowing orbs, that might be attributed to unsettled spirits. ![]() Plus, the “residual ghosts,” who stay in their own bubble, are most active at the anniversary of their passing, Edge-Mattos says, not necessarily at Halloween. Go now, though (the first tour was March 26 this year) before the October tours book up, and you get a more personalized experience. Halloween, of course, is the busy season, when Edge-Mattos and her eight guides run as many as six tours a night. ![]() ![]() ![]() Which will also tell the girls and boys reading this book that they too can be imperfect." - Dinah Davis, Code Like a Girl Actively choosing to make Chloe's princess imperfect means it is ok for Chloe to also be imperfect. Society puts so much pressure on women to always look and behave perfectly. However, I believe it is more important for them to know they don't have to be all those things all the time. It is wonderful for girls to see a princess who is smart, strong, and beautiful. "What I liked most was that the princess did not have to be perfect.
