The book also examines the many faceless men who soldiered, often for years on end, braving untold dangers and enduring abounding miseries. Others, such as the quirky, acerbic Charles Lee, are seen in a much better light than usual. Some do not always measure up to their iconic reputations, including Washington himself. The author paints sharp-eyed portraits of the key figures in the war, including General Washington and other American officers and civilian leaders. General George Washington put it best when he said that the American victory was "little short of a standing miracle."Īlmost a Miracle offers an illuminating portrait of America's triumph, offering vivid descriptions of all the major engagements, from the first shots fired on Lexington Green to the surrender of General Cornwallis at Yorktown, revealing how these battles often hinged on intangibles such as leadership under fire, heroism, good fortune, blunders, tenacity, and surprise. As Ferling demonstrates, it was a war that America came much closer to losing than is now usually remembered. In this gripping chronicle of America's struggle for independence, award-winning historian John Ferling transports readers to the grim realities of that war, capturing an eight-year conflict filled with heroism, suffering, cowardice, betrayal, and fierce dedication. Clean, tight, square copy with only typical used wear. The second part of the book meets the urgent need for people who are carrying out their own research projects, for literature which validates their frustrations in dealing with various western paradigms, academic traditions and methodologies, which continue to position the indigenous as 'Other'. Providing a history of knowledge from the Enlightenment to Postcoloniality, she also discusses the fate of concepts such as 'discovery, 'claiming' and 'naming' through which the west has incorporated and continues to incorporate the indigenous world within its own web. Extending the work of Foucault, she explores the intersections of imperialism, knowledge and research, and the different ways in which imperialism is embedded in disciplines of knowledge and methodologies as 'regimes of truth'. In the first, the author critically examines the historical and philosophical base of Western research. Here, an indigenous researcher issues a clarion call for the decolonization of research methods. From the vantage point of the colonized, the term 'research' is inextricably linked with European colonialism the ways in which scientific research has been implicated in the worst excesses of imperialism remains a powerful remembered history for many of the world's colonized peoples.

He meets a strange boy who becomes his best friend, a boy with secrets of his own and a taste for dark magic. Now, Nate and Maddie Graves are married, and they have moved back to their hometown with their son, Oliver.Īnd now what happened long ago is happening again. Long ago, something sinister, something hungry, walked in the tunnels and the mountains and the coal mines of their hometown in rural Pennsylvania. Long ago, Maddie was a little girl making dolls in her bedroom when she saw something she shouldn’t have-and is trying to remember that lost trauma by making haunting sculptures. Long ago, Nathan lived in a house in the country with his abusive father-and has never told his family what happened there. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Public Library, Library Journal “The dread, the scope, the pacing, the turns-I haven’t felt all this so intensely since The Shining.”-Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians.A family returns to their hometown-and to the dark past that haunts them still-in this masterpiece of literary horror by the New York Times bestselling author of Wanderers.

Outside of academia, I'm the co-founder and CEO of Neosensory, a company which addresses hearing problems and tinnitus via sensory substitution with a vibratory wristband. Funding for my research has come from NIH, NSF, DHHS, DARPA, Guggenheim Foundation, and several private foundations. Please see publications for our latest research results. To that end, most of my academic work involves sensory substitution, time perception, synesthesia, and neurolaw. My scientific interests are how the brain constructs perception, how different brains do so differently, and how this matters for society. Additionally, I have written the textbook ( Brain and Behavior) for the Cognitive Neuroscience course. At Stanford I teach courses on Brain Plasticity, Literature and the Brain, and The Brain and the Law. This book will spark students to consider intriguing connections between Golding's masterpiece and broader concepts of civilization, altruism, political leadership responsibilities, and the history of western imperialism. This casebook integrates analysis and primary documents, with excerpts from materials as diverse as the Bible, the writings of Darwin, and war crimes interviews, to explore the very nature of human aggression and evil. The full meaning of Lord of the Flies is further contextualized by tracing historical views on civilization, from the Victorian perspective, to the very real horrors of World War II. From these literary depictions of savagery, this study delves deeper, confronting the long-running philosophical and biological debates about human nature that have absorbed such influential thinkers as Rousseau and Darwin. Beginning with a literary analysis that explores the universality of the novel's characters, the story is considered as subversion of the adventure tale, comparing it to such classics as Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe. This casebook probes the many layers of meaning in the novel, examining its literary, philosophical, historical, scientific, and religious significance. A seemingly simple tale of schoolboys marooned on an island, Lord of the Flies has proven to be one of the most enigmatic and provocative pieces of literature ever published.

We get to decide how we wield our anger, and this series is a mere entry point for a canon of work about women’s rage. “The Future is Furious” is a weeklong series about women’s anger-and, more specifically, about how that anger is policed, dismissed, and overlooked because its potent, transformative social and political power terrifies people. Women’s anger is a powerful, unshakeable force that sends people from marginalized communities into the streets, the courtrooms, the classrooms, and beyond to fight for the more just world that our ancestors fought for and our descendants will fight for long after we’re gone. Women’s anger has fueled every political movement in the United States, from suffrage to Civil Rights to #MeToo. |
