This book comes with more than nostalgia. As an adult I had flashbacks to what I assume was a movie for this book, which I had watched with my childhood best friend once upon a time. It had seemed like any other small town save for some geographical differences between coastal Virginia and my hometown in western Colorado. I could buy a box set, but first I must reread the copies available at the library and find out how much I enjoy them as an adult.Īs a kid I never realized the book was written and took place in the 40s. They, among my Animal Arc and The Saddle Club books, were meant to be stored and never given away because I knew I would love to reread them or in the off chance later in life I have relations with a kid that liked what I liked as a kid, I could share and bond with such a kid. Growing up I had a large collection of Marguerite Henry's horse books: Misty of Chincoteague Sea Star Stormy, Misty's Foal Black Gold Justin Morgan Had a Horse Twilight and others.

Slow Burn by V.J. Chambers5/30/2023 Administering 100% oxygen at normobaric pressure increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood to 1.5 mL/dL at 3 atmospheres, the dissolved-oxygen content is approximately 6 mL/dL, which is more than enough to meet resting cellular requirements without any contribution from hemoglobin. Tissues at rest extract 5-6 mL of oxygen per deciliter of blood, assuming normal perfusion. Some oxygen, however, is carried in solution, and this portion is increased under hyperbaric conditions due to Henry's law. Reduces intravascular leukocyte adherenceĪMost oxygen carried in the blood is bound to hemoglobin, which is 97% saturated at standard pressure. Fibroblast proliferation/collagen synthesis

A brief history of time online5/30/2023 These observations have confirmed many of Professor Hawking's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book, including the recent discoveries of the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE), which probed back in time to within 300,000 years of the universe's beginning and revealed wrinkles in the fabric of space-time that he had projected." "Eager to bring to his original text the new knowledge revealed by these observations, as well as his own recent research, Professor Hawking has prepared a new introduction to the book, written an entirely new chapter on wormholes and time travel, and updated the chapters throughout. A brief history of time Author: Stephen Hawking Summary: 'In the ten years since its publication in 1988, Stephen Hawkings classic work has become a landmark volume in scientific writing, with more than nine million copies in forty languages sold worldwide. But the intervening years have seen extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and the macrocosmic worlds. That edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the origins and nature of the universe.

Plato's apology of socrates5/30/2023 Since either scenario constitutes a good state, death should be considered something good (40C5–41C7). Socrates supports this claim with an argument in the form of a constructive dilemma: either death involves the cessation of consciousness, in which case our afterlife existence will resemble a single night of dreamless sleep, or after our death we will go to a place where all the dead are ruled over by just judges. Among other things, he declares that he has no reason to fear death, but that, on the contrary, the death penalty he received only moments before may well be considered a blessing. While his defence in the Apology was already audacious, Socrates' closing speech appears even more provocative. It was unprecedented, as far as we know, for a defendant in the Athenian court to end his trial by addressing the members of the jury, but the Apology has Socrates doing just that. As in the Phaedo, it is his impending death that prompts Socrates to speculate about the nature of the afterlife: as soon as his verdict is announced, Socrates turns to the jury to gloss on his sentencing. In a familiar passage at the end of Plato's Apology, Socrates offers an account of what he believes will happen to us when we die.

Vankirk and his hypnotherapist, but the sudden, powerfully rhetorical suggestion that Mr. Perhaps this is the reason the most disturbing aspect of reading Poe’s “Mesmeric Revelation” is not simply the noumenally fearful content of the colloquy between Mr. Dream, delirium, hypnosis, and other altered states of consciousness would also seem to favor the dissolution of the normal Kantian ontologies that keep us from “genuine existential contact with things and the world” (, p. “The technique of art”, wrote Viktor Shklovsky, “is to make objects ‘unfamiliar’” (, p. The Russian Formalists of the 1920s defined literature as a means of defamiliarizing, estranging, or alienating one from casual perception. Nevertheless, an attempt seems warranted because there is something in the mutual human experience of Art that appears to be related to hypnosis. It is difficult to try to identify what that something is. Yet in a real and very important sense, all aesthetic experiences share the same thing in common: the deliberate introduction into the percipient’s mind of that which causes him or her to identify art as art despite its innumerable forms and its susceptibility to personal interpretation. Art is thereby no less a multidimensional phenomenon offering multidimensional experiences.

Einstein's Peep Show by Josephine Myles5/29/2023 She loves to be busy, and is currently having fun trying to work out how she is going to fit in her love of writing, dressmaking and attending cabaret shows in fabulous clothing around the demands of a preteen with special needs and an insatiably curious toddler. Her novel Stuff won the 2014 Rainbow Award for Best Bisexual Romance, and her novella Merry Gentlemen won the 2014 Rainbow Award for Best Gay Romantic Comedy. Jo now has over a dozen novels and novellas under her belt. Jo blames her rebellious muse but he never listens to her anyway, no matter how much she threatens him with a big stick. She writes gay erotica and romance, but finds the erotica keeps cuddling up to the romance, and the romance keeps corrupting the erotica. English through and through, Josephine Myles is addicted to tea and busy cultivating a reputation for eccentricity.
