In Haidt’s hands, evolutionary psychology loses the tunnel-vision it acquires from some of its proponents, and opens itself to insights from both sociology and philosophy. However, he is admirably non-reductive in his efforts. This causes him some difficulties: he has a paradoxical sympathy for moral conservatives, whose understanding of their own position tends to be anything but ‘external’ (they see themselves as having pretty much the only right perspective on morality). His approach, therefore, is necessarily ‘naturalistic’ or ‘external’ – meaning that he is concerned with explaining rather than justifying moral belief. His topic in this book is morality and its impact on politics, and he addresses it, primarily at least, from the perspective of evolutionary psychology – that is, by considering how our moral instincts might have evolved. Jonathan Haidt, although technically a psychologist, has sufficient expertise to write well on topics with relevance to philosophy.

The ensuing chapters focus on the relationship between the journal form of Angle of Repose and the westering tradition in American letters and on the way the novel situates itself in relation to native American aesthetics and the oral tradition. The study opens with a survey of Stegner's career and argues that his critics have misperceived him as a "regionalist" and undervalued him as a world-class American writer whose work transcends the limitations of place. The study combines a close textual analysis of the novel with a detailed and extensive account of the critic's personal and emotional responses to it, and these two interpretive perspectives are supplemented by a series of three interviews conducted with the novelist over a period of ten years as well as by an exchange of letters between Stegner and Bernard DeVoto just prior to the publication of Stegner's Beyond the Hundredth Meridian (1951-1953). Abstract This dissertation reads Wallace Stegner's Angle of Repose by combining objective and subjective critical approaches in an attempt to bridge the gap between storytelling understood formalistically and story in its moving immediacy. Suddenly Benni finds herself empathizing with Maple’s plight-and vows to investigate her case. But when the local historical society asks her to catalog the contents of some old trunks, she agrees-only to find they belonged to alleged murderer Maple Sullivan! Rumor has it that back in the 1940s she murdered her new husband, ran off with his best friend-and was never heard from again…īenni knows how difficult marriage can be-especially since her husband’s gorgeous ex-girlfriend is back in the picture, posing a real threat. Steps to the Altar finds her digging up clues to an unsolved murder-and struggling with a very personal crisis of the heart.īenni Harper is busy planning two weddings-her best friend Elvia and Grandma Dove are both getting hitched. Meet Benni Harper…a spirited ex-cowgirl, quilter, and folk-art expert who’s staking out her own corner of the contemporary American West. With grace and energy, she confronts the myth of white people as race-less. “Nell Painter’s The History of White People is an amazing race-bending narrative. Painter’s high-octane intelligence makes her perfectly suited to the task.”―Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Hemingses of Monticello “ The History of White People is a brilliant meditation on the invention of the idea of ‘whiteness.’ Deeply researched and elegantly written, Painter’s presentation will certainly spark conversation and controversy―as it should. Her array of writers, artists, and politicians, some familiar and some surprising, struggle mightily to create a concept many Americans of all backgrounds now take for granted: ‘white people.’ ”―Edward Ayers, author of In the Presence of Mine Enemies “In this wide-ranging and passionate book, Nell Painter makes the story of American history into something new. It locates race where it actually exists, inside our heads, and shows us how recently it came to reside there.”―Russell Banks, author of The Sweet Hereafter and Affliction “Deeply researched, intelligent, and wonderfully common-sensical, this is a ground-breaking book, and if we’re ever going to get to that so- called ‘post-racial’ society, a necessary book. Advance praise for The History of White People: I’ve caught myself smiling sillily or getting angry at one or the other several times, and I really like to feel a lot of things while reading a book.

Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones ? » Lucky ones – Lana del Rey Still, what Erin and Owen have won’t last unless they put their respective demons to rest. This relationship may be fake, but the feelings aren’t. Too bad Erin would rather spend his energy trying to rescue Owen from the shadows of a past he doesn’t talk about. With Erin suddenly heading a messy internal investigation, Owen wants to step up and be the hero Erin’s never had. Owen, on the other hand, suspects ulterior motives-that Erin wants a fake relationship as a refuge from his overbearing father. Erin intends his gesture to let Owen know he’s interested. So imagine the town’s surprise when Erin bids an obscene amount of money to win Owen in the hospital bachelor auction-and Owen ups the ante by insisting Erin move in with him.Ĭopper Point may not know what’s going on, but neither do Erin and Owen. Owen Gagnon and HR director Erin Andreas are infamous for their hospital hallway shouting matches.

The bear was probably another guise of Artio as the sacred animal of her cult. The goddess seemed to offer the fruit to a large bear which walked towards her from a nearby tree. The Romans later renamed the province Germania Superior.Ī devotee called Lucinia Sabinilla living near Bern, Switzerland offered a group of six bronze statues to the goddess Artio in the second or third century AD.Īrtio was a seated goddess with fruit in a lap and a bowl of fruit in her right hand. Tiberius led military campaigns which incorporated the alpine regions of northern Gaul into the Roman province of Gallia Belgica in 22 BC. Julius Caesar subdued the Helvetti in 52 BC. The Helvetti migrated to Switzerland from Gaul in the final centuries BC Bern, meaning “bear”, was the site of an oppidum belonging to the Helvetti tribe. The centre of the cult of Artio was in Bern, Switzerland. The Helvetti paid homage to Artio as a goddess of bears, hunters, fertility, wild animals and nature in the alpine regions of Switzerland. The spirit of Artio manifested itself as a she-bear wandering over the wilderness of mountains and forests. The goddess, Artio, was the divine protector of wild bears in the alpine regions of Central Europe.Īrtio means “bear goddess” in Gaulish and probably revered by followers in the form of a divine bear. Artio was an obscure Gaulish goddess whose cult flourished in Switzerland and the Rhineland between the Iron Age and Roman era.

It is a no non-sense work in which aspects of BDSM are covered. The book has obviously been well researched and well written. Warren approaches the subject of BDSM with humor, seriousness, safety in mind, and perhaps most of all a love of the subject. This is a great book for the beginner and the expert alike. This book's second edition is now available on Greenery Press and it's an excellent addition to any kinkster's library, whether they are Dom, sub, or switch.Īlso recommended: SM101 by Jay Wiseman Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns by Philip Miller & Molly Devon I felt the chapter that John's wife, Libby wrote (A Submissive Writes About Submission) gives an excellent insight for Dominants into what (at least for her) submission means and what it's about. Also included are sections on First Aid, "Stalking the Wild Submissive," (very important!) and ways to do scenes that are exciting both for the Dominant and the submissive. While there are numerous other excellent SM books on the market, John's book covers topics not normally covered in other "introductory SM books, like how to act at a play party, and taking memorable pictures of your own private scenes. This book is an excellent introduction to the 'kinky world' some of us live in from time to time. This is the question John Warren asks in Chapter 2 of this book and if you're a Dominant, it's a very good question to ask yourself. But her magic is much more than putting love or luck into biscuts or cake, she’s very special. The novel follows the very kind and humble Maire, who can put emotions into her baked goods.
