Focusing mainly on romance novels, she was interested in them from a young age after being introduced to them by her mother, as she took to them in no time, gaining more and more of an appetite for them over the years. Not only that but she has also been able to inject a sense of warmth and wit into her writing, as it brings the characters to life, giving them a clear sense of fun and vibrancy, as she brings her own sense of personality into the story, allowing it to come alive in the process. Knowing and understanding her audience she has a clear comprehension of what each story needs and requires, as she is able to ensure that the narrative fits the requirements of the characters and vice versa. With a background in law as well, she is also a practicing attorney, having worked alongside her husband who is also an attorney, as she writes her romance fiction in the evening, something which she continues to do as she balances them alongside each other, all whilst looking after her family too. Writing historical and contemporary romance fiction, Janna MacGregor is an author who has managed to achieve a high level of success in a relatively short amount of time, all due to her fresh and unique take on an old format, that at once seems both relevant as well as timeless, providing fairy tales in a sense that involve real people that resonate with the readers.

6/12/2023 0 Comments Kara Arşiv by Ali YılmazIt was found that the essence of learning social studies via objects in museums consisted of five components. The research data were analyzed by means of Giorgi's descriptive phenomenological framework, which helped reveal the structure of the phenomenon of learning social studies in museums. Purposeful sampling was used to select the research participants and interviews were employed to gather data. After students visited four different museums during the teaching of three thematic units at sixth grade level, their lived experiences were elicited. Based on a descriptive phenomenological research design, this study investigated Turkish elementary school students' experiences in learning social studies via objects in museums. 6/12/2023 0 Comments Wings of ebonyA fascinating example is the wing-like appendages on batoid fishes (skates and rays) in which the pectoral fins are fused with the head and extend anteriorly. Bensley Professor of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago said in a press release at the time.Ĭhondrichthyans (all cartilaginous fish) have different fin structures that also exhibit an. “What is surprising is that the extraordinary anatomy of skate fins comes about by simple tweaks to the processes that make the more normal-looking fins of other fish,” senior study author Neil Shubin, PhD, Robert R. Research published by scientists at the University of Chicago in 2015 found that skates and rays evolved their striking, wing-like pectoral fins using repurposed genes. Due to this unique structure, skates and rays are able to not only propel themselves forward along the seafloor but become fearsome predators of the ocean floor. As well as those paired appendages we have seen displayed in tetrapods, the Chondrichthyans (all cartilaginous fish) have different fin structures that also exhibit an exquisite diversity of uses. Vertebrates evolved and diversified alongside key developmental innovations.

Lewis discovered Phantastes in 1916, within a few hours he said he knew he “had crossed a great frontier.” MacDonald’s unusual fantasy set Lewis on the road toward his eventual conversion to Christianity, and forever after he referred to MacDonald as his “master.” Sales of Phantastes, however, proved a disappointment, and thus MacDonald ultimately turned to the writing of realistic fiction in the 1860s. Two volumes of poetry prior to this had set MacDonald apart as a talented young author to watch in England's literary circles. From that beginning, he embarks on a dream-like series of encounters that follow the form of an epic quest, though the purpose and destination of his journey remain obscure and are never fully clarified. The book’s narrator, Anodos, enters Fairy Land through a mysterious old wooden secretary. This unusual fantasy, subtitled A Fairie Romance, is one of MacDonald’s most mysterious and esoteric titles. George MacDonald’s first major fiction work, in his words “a sort of fairy tale for grown people,” Phantastes was published in 1858 by Smith, Elder & Co., London. I thought that was a really interesting and apt analogy. He states that neuroscience is at a stage right now similar to how physics was, say, four hundred years ago. Something I loved from the beginning of this book is House’s enthusiasm for and wonder about consciousness. He tries to apply elements of the chapter’s theory or lens for viewing consciousness to the study to see what we might learn. In all of these chapters, House relates these ideas back to a single study, published in Nature, in which electric current applied to a teenage girl’s brain during surgery stimulated laughter. Basically, each chapter is a different way of explaining or examining consciousness. Some of them are a little out there, a little difficult for me to conceptualize let alone express. I’m not going to attempt to summarize the nineteen ways. However, I didn’t have as much fun reading this book. As he admits in the introduction, he doesn’t have all the answers-none of us do-but he has a lot of fun mulling over some of the theories that are out there. Consciousness, sentience, intelligence-how did these traits evolve? How do they even work? Patrick House explores Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness (literally what it says on the tin) and tries to address these questions. Philosophy of the mind has always been one of my favourite realms of philosophy. 6/11/2023 0 Comments These violent delights goodreadsTime is of the essence aboard the week-long Trans-Siberian Express, but when someone is murdered on board, Benedikt and Marshall convince the officer in charge not to stop the train so that they aren’t thrown off-schedule. Its narration switches between the heirs of the Scarlet Gang and the White Flowers, Juliette and Roma, alongside a few sprinkles of POVs from their righthand men. In This Foul Murder, Benedikt and Marshall have been summoned by Roma to find the elusive scientist, Lourens, and bring him to Zhouzhuang. Following the blood feud between two rival gangs, These Violent Delights is a wonderfully written historical fantasy based on the extremely popular play Romeo and Juliet. But when they hear about several Russian girls showing up dead in nearby towns, they decide to investigate-and ultimately discover that this mystery is much closer to home than they ever imagined. In A Foul Thing, Roma and Juliette have established themselves as the heads of an underground weapons ring in Zhouzhuang, making a living the way they do best while remaining anonymous in their peaceful, quiet life. Synopsis: From #1 New York Times bestselling author Chloe Gong comes two captivating new novellas surrounding the events of Foul Lady Fortune and following a familiar cast of characters from the These Violent Delights Duet! 6/10/2023 0 Comments The uncanny x men chris claremontA big part of the problem is that it gets pulled into the Secret Wars II crossover, which leads to a lot of ponderous stuff with the Beyonder.Īs part of trip to Earth to explore what it's like to be human, this god-like figure gives Rachel Summers enough power to potentially kill him.
