![]() ![]() ![]() The study goes on to say (of the English living in Scotland): "Few of the English (only 16 per cent) see the conflict between Scots and English as even 'fairly serious'." Hussain and Millar's study found that Anglophobia was slightly less prevalent than Islamophobia but that, unlike Islamophobia, Anglophobia correlated with a strong sense of Scottish identity. And lack of knowledge about Islam probably indicates a broader rejection of the 'other', for it has as much impact on Anglophobia as on Islamophobia. Beyond that, having an English friend reduces Anglophobia by about as much as having a Muslim friend reduces Islamophobia. Scottish identity comes close to rivalling low levels of education as an influence towards Anglophobia. One finding of the report suggested that national "phobias" have common roots independent of the nations they are directed towards. ![]() ![]() See also: Scottish national identity and Category:England–Scotland relationsĪ 2005 study by Hussain and Millar of the Department of Politics at the University of Glasgow examined the prevalence of Anglophobia in relation to Islamophobia in Scotland. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After first hearing about it, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The Mermaid is yet another beautiful novel from one of my favorite authors. *I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review* But Barnum has never given up a money-making scheme in his life, and he’s determined to hold on to his mermaid.

His vision became more personal and his works began to interconnect as he considered the way one image-often of friends or favorite places-enhanced another." - Publisher. For Sargent, watercolors were not so much about swagger as about a renewed and liberated approach to painting. One reviewer of an exhibition in London proclaimed him "an eagle in a dove-cote" another called his work 'swagger' watercolors. ![]() Disregarding contemporary aesthetic standards that called for carefully delineated and composed landscapes filled with transparent washes, his confidently bold, dense strokes, loosely defined forms, and unexpected vantage points startled critics and fellow practitioners alike.

They just got a little tingly when they touched…? Also, they were supposed to be mates…but they didn’t have any sort of tangible mate bond, not like she had with Valerian. Fallon never even apologized, he just gave excuses. First of all, there wasn’t a good resolution to the issue of him disappearing and ignoring her for the last half of the second book and the first half of this one. ![]() I don’t feel like the relationship between Fallon and Arden was very well done. It feels like a cheap ploy to get us to read their next series. How’s that going to work out? Where is he gonna get a body? How long is this going to take? Will his mate recognize him? I detest when authors do this to readers. I feel like he was a thread left hanging, an unresolved plot line, a loose end. I wish we were able to get a satisfactory ending for Vargas. ![]() I think this might have been my least favorite of the series, but since I loved all the books that doesn’t mean too much. ![]() ![]() ![]() Baptist argues otherwise slavery propelled the American economy forward while on “new slave labor camp” (115) in the Mississippi valley, entrepreneurial slave masters upped productivity by deploying “systematized torture” as a “central technology” (141–42). ![]() Baptist tells “the other half of story,” a half that has been “left out of history” by southern whites who “convinced a majority of white Americans, including most historians, that slavery had been benign and that ‘states’ rights’ had been the cause of the Civil War” (xxii, 409). As Baptist makes clear, his book is about “how slavery constantly grew, changed, and reshaped the modern world” (xxii) it reveals the violence, theft, and modernity of American slavery and what it meant for those who survived the rapid expansion of racial slavery during the first half of the nineteenth century. that has yet to be undone.” Whether in the 1830s, 1960s, or today, slavery remains a touchstone in the “search for social justice on the critical issue of race.” 1Įdward Baptist’s The Half Has Never Been Told is the latest attempt to come to terms with slavery and its enduring legacies. ![]() Slavery is “the tough stuff of American memory.” As Saidiya Hartman memorably writes, African American bondage “established a measure of man and a ranking of life. ![]() ![]() ![]() He also argues that societies which stray from this dual philosophical legacy are not to be desired. ![]() The author reminds us that the West’s success is built on the twin foundations of Jerusalem and Athens – the Bible and the hugely influential thoughts of the ancient Athenian philosophers. These book summarys take a step back and explore the philosophical foundations of the West, and its focus on moral purpose, reason, scientific discovery and individual liberty. ![]() Too many people seem to have bought into the idea that the West is something damaging or shameful, and not a huge force for good in the world. Why are people so unhappy? Why does so much of modern life seem infused with anger? Why is it that Clinton and Trump supporters don’t just disagree but seem to actively distrust and hate each other? And why is there so much anger in public life that the author, an Orthodox Jew, is accused of being a neo-Nazi by some on the left, and is sent anti-semitic abuse by others? The typical Westerner enjoys both a comfortable life and the freedom of living in a democratic society – privileges which seemingly are taken for granted. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Verity and Eunice are her current project.

Verity Jane, gifted app whisperer, takes a job as the beta tester for a new product: a digital assistant, accessed through a pair of ordinary-looking glasses. Cory Doctorow raved that The Peripheral is “spectacular, a piece of trenchant, far-future speculation that features all the eyeball kicks of Neuromancer.” Now Gibson is back with Agency-a science fiction thriller heavily influenced by our most current events. William Gibson has trained his eye on the future for decades, ever since coining the term “cyberspace” and then popularizing it in his classic speculative novel Neuromancer in the early 1980s. “ONE OF THE MOST VISIONARY, ORIGINAL, AND QUIETLY INFLUENTIAL WRITERS CURRENTLY WORKING”* returns with a sharply imagined follow-up to the New York Times bestselling The Peripheral. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This fully revised edition of Knowledge Encyclopedia: Dinosaur! is loaded with more than 60 prehistoric creatures, from the age of dinosaurs to the Ice Age.
