6/12/2023 0 Comments Cordelia fine gender![]() We are encouraged by some scientists and pseudo-scientists to assume that the physiological differences explain the psychological differences. Those differences have spawned many books driving a wedge between male and female innate abilities and stoking the argument that men and women are just better at different things. ![]() Men think in a more focused way whereas women think more holistically. Men are observed to be good at maths whereas women tend to be more empathic. And we routinely observe that men and women behave differently. EvaluationĮarly science discovered many differences between the male and female brain. Delusions of Gender shows that the present state of chronic gender bias can be changed. Cordelia Fine does an excellent job in arguing that cognitive and behavioural differences between men and women are not innate but are socially constructed – beginning when the baby is in the womb. And with the advent of brain imaging, many have concluded that the differences seen in PET (positron emission tomography) and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) scans explain what everyone observes day to day. ![]() ![]() If you’re someone who believes that men and women are fundamentally different and that men are naturally better at some things while women are better at others, buckle up and get ready to have your assumptions and understanding challenged.įor many years it’s been assumed that men were cleverer, more logical than women. Delusions of Gender: the real science behind sex differences ![]() 6/12/2023 0 Comments #TrueMessiahs by J.L. Gates![]() ![]() In this regard it might be compared to the devices utilized by the author Dan Brown where there is an antagonist from the current century tracking the life of the main protagonist writing in the 1st Century. ![]() The book strictly follows the historical documentation and fictionalizes when the historical record is silent. Josephus was an actual historian, a stubborn survivor, a tangible actor in the imperial machinations of the time and a very complex individual who suffered horrible experiences but lived to a ripe old age and survived all of his tormentors (with conjecture that he cut some of their throats). What they discover in that tomb sets into motion a train of events and intrigue spanning a timeline from the 1st Century AD to the 21st Century. Fleeing the collapsing South immediately after the American Civil War, two sailors from the Confederate Navy believe they have avoided a hangman’s noose by sailing to Alexandria, Egypt - where, to escape the blistering summer heat, they hole up in the warren of catacombs beneath the city, eventually to discover the bricked-up grave of the infamous 1st Century historian Titus Flavius Josephus. ![]() 6/12/2023 0 Comments Joan of arc twain![]() ![]() All that stood between Joan and her visions becoming reality were the treacherous actions of bureaucrats, and a King unable to think for himself.

Now Mia is turning 26, hounded by the press, who claim she’s carrying twins sired by ‘the World’s Greatest Lover’ (Michael Moscovitz). I read every book after book four as it came out, following Mia’s adventures as a high school princess and culminating in a little happy ever after (getting back together with her best friend’s brother, Michael). I first started reading The Princess Diaries series back in 2002, at the tender age of 8. For me, it was a strange combination of all three. For some people, it’s Harry Potter or Twilight that really gets them into reading. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments Amazon the road to unfreedom![]() In this forceful and unsparing work of contemporary history, Snyder goes beyond the headlines to expose the true nature of the threat to democracy. While countries like Poland and Hungary have made hard turns toward authoritarianism, the electoral upsets of 2016 revealed the citizens of the US and UK in revolt against their countries’ longstanding policies and values.īut this threat to the West also presents the opportunity to better understand the pillars of our own political order. ![]() In the last six years, it has creeped from east to west as nationalism inflames Europe, abetted by Russian propaganda and cyberwarfare. ![]() But we now know this to be premature.Īuthoritarianism first returned in Russia, as Putin developed a political system dedicated solely to the consolidation and exercise of power. Observers declared the end of history, confident in a peaceful, globalized future. With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy was thought to be absolute. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments Something borrowed based on a book![]() I was really hoping that the movie would be better than the book. ![]() To top it all of the subject matter, the cheating with the fiance who is marrying your best friend, was something that slightly rubbed me the wrong way. She also blames everyone else for things that she herself should be responsible for. The main characters are either spineless and whoa is me all the time or a complete and utter bitch who is only focused on herself and no one else around her. It took me forever to read it, or rather longer than it would normally take for me to do it. So when I stumbled across this book and was intrigued to read it.įirst off this book was a massive struggle bus for me. ![]() When I was looking for a book to movie book to do for the month of Jan I looked for books that had been on my shelf for a bit as well as books that I was able to find in kindle unlimited for free. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments 1998 ian mcewan novel![]() ![]() But this book belongs in the category of manuscripts published because publishers needed a filler from a noteworthy name. Over the years I've come to love Ian McEwan for his eloquence and story craft. For me, McEwan's writing about music in this book is what keeps it at four stars and doesn't drop it to three. There are certain realities that a great prose stylist can almost lift off the page. It reminds me of reading DFW when he is riffing on Tennis or Pynchon when he is riffing on physics. Vollmann also gets a nod with parts of 'Europe Central'. ![]() I'm thinking of William Gass and 'Middle C', Julian Barnes and 'The Noise of Time', Richard Powers and 'Orfeo', William T. There are a few writers I've read recently who do a fantastic job of incorporating classical music into their stories. ![]() I found it fascinating at parts and love love love it when Ian McEwan writes fiction about composing or music. But really, those are my only major complaints. Similar to 'The Children Act' in its use of classical music (one of the main characters is a classical composer), it is almost too clean, too moralizing, too easily tied up. Make something, and die." - Ian McEwan, Amsterdam It won the Booker, but wasn't my favorite Ian McEwan. ![]() |
