Exploring the intimate relationships among blackness, womanhood, and 20th-century American technological development, Shetterly crafts a narrative that is crucial to understanding subsequent movements for civil rights. Shetterly collects much of her material directly from those who were there, using personal anecdotes to illuminate the larger forces at play. She celebrates the skills of mathematicians such as Dorothy Vaughan, Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Hoover, whose brilliant work eventually earned them slow advancement but never equal footing. ![]() Shetterly writes of these women as core contributors to American success in the midst of a cultural "collision between race, gender, science, and war," teasing out how the personal and professional are intimately related. The first women NACA brought on took advantage of a WWII opportunity to work in a segregated section of Langley, doing the calculations necessary to support the projects of white male engineers. ![]() ![]() Shetterly, founder of the Human Computer Project, passionately brings to light the important and little-known story of the black women mathematicians hired to work as computers at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory in Hampton, Va., part of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NASA's precursor). The 1 New York Times bestseller The phenomenal true story of the black female mathematicians at NASA whose calculations helped fuel some of Americas. ![]() ![]() Based on John Feinsteins best-selling book of the same. ![]() Knight, in addition to coaching the Hoosiers, was also a head coach at Army and Texas Tech, the latter his landing place after the unceremonious departure from Indiana basketball.įeinstein was a writer for the Washington Post and also penned articles for Sports Illustrated, and his journalistic skills are on display in this classic tome. ESPN produced this film about fiery-tempered University of Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight. Following Knight and the Hoosiers through the 1985-86 college basketball season, Feinstein, with unfettered access to the athletic program at Indiana, gives extraordinary depth and insight into the machinations of the modern basketball coach.īobby Knight, one of the greatest coaches in the history of college hoops, is undeniably a colorful character, which gives the book so much of its gusto. ![]() Features: The fascinating story of a season with fiery head coach Bob Knight and his Indiana Hoosiers is a formidable accomplishment in sports journalism by author Feinstein. ![]() ![]() It was hinted at in the blurb, but didn't expect it to dominate (pun intended). ![]() You always get intense dialogue and good MCs from this author, but I was expecting to get more of a tale about fencing (similar to movie By the Sword), but this is about bouts of quite another kind, with another type of Master. Now Misha has to find a way to crack through those defenses…or accept defeat and walk away from the submissive who might just be the love of his life. Cynical beyond his years, he’s not letting his guard down, least of all for a thrice-divorced man twice his age. Dominance, submission, pain, pleasure-at the hands of an older, experienced man, a whole new world is opening up for Ryan.Īs the trust deepens and their bond strengthens, though, Ryan retreats because that sham called love left him jaded long ago. What begins as fencing lessons becomes something much hotter, and before they know it, Misha is giving Ryan an entirely different kind of education. Startled by the moment of humility, Misha agrees. Not so predictably, Ryan asks him to be a mentor and show him how to fence. To put the arrogant kid in check, Misha challenges him to a sparring match, which he predictably wins. ![]() ![]() ![]() In short, Misha’s pet peeves personified. The undisciplined hothead is all ego with no finesse and even less control. Mikhail “Misha” Budnikov takes one look at fellow fencer Ryan O’Connor and instantly knows his type. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now while I have indeed and very much enjoyed the sweetly descriptive, often delightfully esoteric marriage of text and images of Molly Bang's The Paper Crane (that real and palpable but also glowingly imaginative sense of magic and that being of a kind and generous spirit will or rather can engender and give many types of wonderful and unexpected rewards), I do have to admit that I did and still do kind of feel as though I am for one only getting part of the story with The Paper Crane and that for two and yes for me much more importantly from a folkloric and academic point of view, that the complete and total lack of an author's note with regard to cultural background, with regard to which folktale or folktales Molly Bang has made use of (or might have made use of) to compose The Paper Crane really does bother and rather massively annoy me. ![]() ![]() ![]() He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's The Ray Bradbury Theater, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree. He wrote the screen play for John Huston's classic film adaptation of Moby Dick, and was nominated for an Academy Award. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on Jat the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. ![]() ![]() ![]() Convinced that a person’s character, including “the propensity to kill," is mapped out on the cranium, she is eager to interview her subject, 16-year-old Ruth Butterham, who stands accused of murdering her mistress, “slowly, by degrees.” With each visit, Ruth tells Dorothea the sad and brutal story of grinding poverty and devastating loss that led to her involuntary servitude and appalling abuse at the dressmaking shop of Mrs. When she receives a note from the prison matron informing her that “ we another one,” Dorothea is thrilled because this is her chance to prove her ideas about the science of phrenology. Wealthy heiress Dorothea Truelove devotes her charitable work to visiting the female inmates of Oakgate Prison. A Victorian do-gooder meets a young seamstress, on trial for murder, who confesses to killing her employer with just a needle and thread. ![]() ![]() ![]() That the gospels were written later creates his second problem. ![]() The earliest references to Jesus are from Paul, wherein he is not just one of many Messianic aspirants, but more even than that. In fiction, Naomi Alderman's The Liars' Gospeldeals with many of the same ideas with both scepticism and sensitivity, while Richard Beard's Lazarus is Deadis far more imaginative in its analysis of the Jesus stories.Īslan's argument is undermined by various facts, which even he admits. From Nazareth to Nicaea by Geza Vermes should be at the top of the list AN Wilson's biographies of Jesus and Paul for the more narratively minded Albert Schweitzer's Geschichte der Leben-Jesu-Forschung of 1906 to put this tradition in context and Gustavo Gutiérrez Merino's The Theology of Liberation to show how the ideas might be activated without leaving behind the "cosmological Christ". If one were minded to follow this line, there are plenty of books that do a more scholarly job, and are written more eloquently. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Your credit card will be charged separately for wine and liquor under "Parecell Wines LLC".Parcelle Wines LLC, and Baldor Transportation LLC are separate companies.Restocking charges of 15% of your order may also apply.
