The distance between us memoir7/8/2023 It involves, Quintyn asserts, "modifying nonhumans to benefit homo sapiens." The chemical engineering of plants and producing genetically altered pigs, monkeys, and other animals are examples of potentially useful areas of study, but all carry dangers, many as yet unknown. The "new eugenics," controlled by determined scientists whose limitations are few, can have equally powerful if more subtle implications. The term "eugenics" harks back to an earlier era when it was deemed medically and scientifically appropriate to modify or eliminate people-whether adult or embryo-who were considered mentally or physically less-than-perfect specimens. "There has been a long-standing belief in human civilization that technology can solve any problem that arises."

This collection of essays now updates Grimm, adding much material not known in his time, and also challenges his monolithic interpretations, pointing out the diversity of cultural … It was also believed that every man had a shilombish (the outside shadow) which always followed him, and shilup (the inside shadow, or ghost) which after death goes to the land of ghosts.

Hillįavorite Quote: “Shouldn’t you be putting on make-up and curling your hair, doing girly stuff?” Vampire Trinity (Vampire Queen #6) by Joey W. Iron widow goodreads7/8/2023 Things become complicated when her forbidden love interest, wealthy, protective Yizhi, gets involved. When she is paired with Li Shimin, a pilot and murderer with powerful qi, she must be strategic to survive the war and take down the patriarchy. She proclaims herself the nightmare these careless, selfishly ambitious boy pilots deserve to face. Bent on revenge, Zetian, a frontier girl who chafes at the idea of rigid gender roles and imagines the freedom of “giving onlookers no easy way to bind me with a simple label,” voluntarily becomes a concubine-pilot. This sacrificial attitude toward females results in the death of narrator Zetian’s older sister. The female concubine-pilot typically dies in the battle, having been entirely drained of her qi. In response, humans have built Chrysalises, war machines that take the shape of mythical animals and are powered by the qi of two pilots, one bringing the female yin force and the other the male yang. These giant buglike aliens fly and attack with frightening power. In Huaxia, a Chinese-influenced futuristic society, humankind is in a constant war with the Hunduns. An individual vendetta fuels a systemic challenge in a war-torn world. Russian play the seagull7/7/2023 The Theatre We Want In 2040?

Ken follet century trilogy7/7/2023 I understand that this is the beginning of a trilogy and perhaps the subsequent books will allow for even more interesting developments and be on par with Pillars and World\’s End. Fall of Giants doesn\’t really compare to either book, but I felt it deserved 4 stars because it is enjoyable in its own right. But that is the problem, isn\’t it? It is very difficult to consider this novel independently given Follet\’s other massive historical novels – Pillars and World\’s End – were just so remarkable. In fact, if I consider the novel stand-alone, my only significant criticisms would be the lack of a clear antagonist (other than circumstances) as all the characters seemed noble in their own way and personally I would have liked to see more of the \”bad\” Russian brother, who seemed the most interesting of the main characters. I thought the multiple interweaving storylines were each interesting and unlike some other reviewers, I didn\’t have an issue keeping track of different characters or their motivations. In fact I found this approach to be one of the most accessible ways to understand WWI that I have encountered. Overall it seemed, from my reading of various non-fiction historical accounts of WWI, very accurate. I thought it was a very good novel that closely followed the build-up to and prosecution of World War I from multiple perspectives.

Anna sewell books7/6/2023 Strangely enough, Anna Sewell never intended the book to be exclusively read by children. As an autobiography written by a horse and told from his point of view, it was indeed an original and unique concept for the time. The original title page reads: Black Beauty: Translated from the original Equine by Anna Sewell and this gives the reader an instant glimpse into what the book will be about. According to current estimates, it has sold more than fifty million copies world wide, been translated into many languages and delighted generations of children. It earned eternal name and fame for its author Anna Sewell, an invalid who died within a few months of publication. This unique tale is narrated by a lovely, gentle horse named Black Beauty and has remained a children's classic since it was first published in 1877.
