![]() With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, philosophy and art, Carlo Rovelli unravels this mystery, inviting us to imagine a world where time is in us and we are not in time. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Rovelli tears down these assumptions one by one, revealing a strange universe where at the most fundamental level time disappears. ![]() Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics takes us on an enchanting journey to discover the meaning of time Penguin presents the audio edition of The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli, read by B enedict Cumberbatch. ![]() He begins with classical physics (the equations work backwards in time), and moves on to General and Special Relativity, and quantum mechanics. Winner of Audiobook of the Year at The Specsavers National Book Awards 2018 In the first Rovelli covers the various sub-disciplines of physics and their temporal implications (or lack thereof). ![]() ![]() ![]() Three winners will be selected from all over the world, with the prize being a coveted spot on an upcoming mission to return to the Moon. Plot Īfter a prologue set in 2010, the book begins in 2012, after NASA has announced its intent to hold a contest for teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18. In 2008 Harstad's work on DARLAH won him a Brage Prize. Rights to DARLAH have also been sold to sixteen other countries: Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, France, the Netherlands, Germany, UK, Turkey, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea, Mexico and Brazil. ![]() The book was originally published in Norway on Septemby Cappelen Damm, with an English language translation being published by Little, Brown in New York City on July 10, 2012.

Mrs Kushner had lived in Poland during the war. One day in the late 1960s, a family friend, Mrs Kushner – the future grandmother of Jared, husband of Ivanka Trump – pulled her to one side. Shapiro has white-blonde hair and blue eyes. ![]() Did other people see her as different? Well, they were certainly struck by her appearance. She wonders now if she wasn’t looking for a new family. In the New Jersey neighbourhood where she grew up, the only child in an Orthodox Jewish family, she would wander the streets with her poodle, hoping to be invited in by neighbours. It was, she says, as though she was “trapped on the other side of an invisible wall, separate and cut off” – and yet, she had no idea why. Perhaps if she gazed at herself for long enough, a new face would emerge from behind her own: a truer one, a face that would better reflect her sense of herself.Īs she grew older, this otherness – a disconnect she carried with her all the time – grew more and more powerful. She felt, though she would not have been able to articulate this at the time, different – a creature apart. What do you see? Who do you think you are? When the writer Dani Shapiro was a little girl, she would sneak down the hall late at night once her parents were asleep, the better to stare at herself uninterrupted in the bathroom mirror. ![]() ![]() ![]() He clearly cared a lot about George and Lucy too, and didn't like it when people judged them all for being "too young" to be ghost-hunting. He was funny and good-natured and though he was impetuous, he was actually very clever and could come up with theories quickly and improvise to build on them. ![]() ![]() Lockwood was a character that you just had to like. Her Talent was also quite fascinating as she was able to collect detailed information from Visitors that helped in investigations. She also hated being thought of as the "weak link" of the group and had to handle people looking down on her, but I think she dealt with it quite well overall. I really liked Lucy, she had a good sense of humour and was always up for a challenge, though she was nowhere near as reckless as Lockwood, who often charged in without thinking. Her Talent was the ability to hear ghosts (also called Visitors) much more clearly than others, and she was particularly Sensitive to them and the emotions they experienced while they were alive. Lucy, our narrator, was an intelligent young teen who had joined Lockwood & Co. While the Bartimaeus trilogy will always remain a series incomparable to most (I still miss old Barty!), The Screaming Staircase was such a fun and enjoyable book with a great cast of characters and a lot of witty dialogue. Jonathan Stroud, Lockwood & Co: The Screaming StaircaseĪs a fan of Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus trilogy, I was really looking forward to starting The Screaming Staircase, and I can safely say that it did not disappoint. ![]() ![]() The name of Lucy Eyelesbarrow and already made itself felt in certain circles. On the other hand, a mention of a woman trained in mathematics at Oxford in 1957 is interesting, and the inclusion of these remarks in the book seem to imply something about the author's opinion of math(s) and academia. Indeed, there is barely any mention of math in this book and it is mostly irrelevant to the plot. (There is a suggestion that she was probably good at arithmetic as a child.) Still I suppose she is a mathematician of sorts, and since 4.50 from Paddington is a pretty well-known book you may wish to mention it on your site. Lucy's mathematical background and aptitude plays no real role in the book, and is rarely mentioned after she is introduced. Lucy helps the detective Miss Marple with the investigation, and there is a subplot that focuses on which man she will pick as her husband. ![]() ![]() ![]() She declined to continue in academia because she thought it unrewarding and instead works as an ambulating house-keeper.

A list compiled by Alex Kasman ( College of Charleston) ![]() ![]() I thought our little liberal college town would fight it longer, hold out. One month since the president of the United States gave a televised speech to Congress declaring that “Muslims are a threat to America.” Two months since a virulent Islamophobe was sworn in as secretary of war-a cabinet position that hasn’t existed since World War II. Three months since they started firing Muslims from public-sector jobs. United States established precedent for relocation of citizens during times of war. Six months since the Exclusion Laws were enacted.įive months since the attorney general argued that Korematsu v. Nine months since the first book burning. One year since our answers on the census landed us on the registry. There is only what we once were and what we have become. I don’t measure time by the old calendar anymore I don’t look at the date. Most of the town is at the book burning, so I should be safe. In the distance, I see a funnel of smoke rising into the air. ![]() But everywhere it’s the same as it’s always been: the perfectly manicured lawn of Center Square, the gazebo’s twinkling fairy lights, the yellow beams from the porch lamps at every door. Only the familiar chirp of the crickets, and the occasional fading rumble of a car in the distance, and a rustle so faint I can’t tell if it’s the wind or the anxious huff of my breath. ![]() I strain to listen for boots on the pavement. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

I read this in 2008 in response to Niall Harrison’s review on the Vector editorial blog, which was then called ‘Torque Control’. In 1995, a revised paperback version was published. On original publication, the novel was shortlisted for both the BSFA and Clarke Awards. Along with Jones’s Bold as Love series (2001-2014), Kairos shatters the illusion of the mirror world we inhabit by showing how what is relentlessly portrayed by the media and the politicians of the two main parties as sober, bland, realistic, normal life is in fact nothing but a relentlessly vile and hostile assault on any attempt to establish a good society, or even any form of community, rooted in love, freedom, and collective organisation. Not only does it brilliantly capture the counter-revolutionary mayhem of Thatcherism, but it also uncannily anticipates the corporate neoliberal horror that followed it. ![]() For me this is not only one of the best British SF novels written in the last 50 years, but also one of the best of all contemporary British novels. ![]() First published in 1988 by Unwin Hyman, Kairos was reissued in the Gollancz SF Masterworks series in 2021 in a freshly revised edition with an (excellent) introduction by the author. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her pen name was borrowed from her maternal great-grandmother, Bell Blair Hooks. In 2014, hooks also founded the bell hooks Institute at Berea College. ![]() She later taught at several institutions including Stanford University, Yale University, and The City College of New York, before joining Berea College in Berea, Kentucky, in 2004. She began her academic career in 1976 teaching English and ethnic studies at the University of Southern California. Her work addressed love, race, class, gender, art, history, sexuality, mass media, and feminism. She published numerous scholarly articles, appeared in documentary films, and participated in public lectures. She published around 40 books, including works that ranged from essays, poetry, and children's books. ![]() The focus of hooks' writing was to explore the intersectionality of race, capitalism, and gender, and what she described as their ability to produce and perpetuate systems of oppression and class domination. She is best known for her writings on race, feminism, and class. Gloria Jean Watkins (September 25, 1952 – December 15, 2021), better known by her pen name bell hooks, was an American author, theorist, educator, and social critic who was a Distinguished Professor in Residence at Berea College.
