Modern day Caroline is an American in London. ![]() Its focus is on female characters struggling to deal with dishonest and unfaithful men, and women finding fulfillment in their own work and in female companionship. Overall, it’s a decent read, the kind of book that you could finish on a long flight or over a weekend. It’s historical fiction, which I almost always enjoy, and it moves back and forth between the late 18th century and present day London. I bought this book a while back as part of a sale.

This rejection is a defense mechanism hard-won after a lifetime spent pushed (or, later, retreating) to the margins. ![]() “Anything of such mass appeal must be…merely facile pleasure,” she writes, “or what British philosopher Bernard Bosanquet called easy beauty.” Recounting a former student’s insistence that Jones must see Beyoncé live in concert, describing it as the moment of a life-changing epiphany, Jones instinctively dismisses the idea that she might experience anything close to profound at an event so obvious, so loud, so broad as a pop concert. About halfway through Pulitzer Prize finalist Chloé Cooper Jones’s transcendent (and highly anticipated) debut memoir, Easy Beauty, she drops the meaning of the title. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This discussion was designed to help educators understand the history of hip-hop, the way hip-hop has shaped history, and how it can help make our classes more relevant to our students’ lives. ![]() Detailing hip-hop’s rise to global prominence - with attention to dynamics of race, class, gender - Chang and Davey D explain how young people - especially BIPOC youth - over generations have utilized the culture to express themselves and make their needs understood in a country that has abandoned and denigrated them.ĭespite the importance to youth and its immense impact, in too many classrooms hip-hop gets excluded.

Loaded with references to monster mythologies from world folklore, the special embeds Jack Russell, Man-Thing, and Elsa Bloodstone firmly in the time-honored tradition of monster tales retold with a modern edge. Coupled with a grandly operatic score and a modern sense of kitsch, the result is an honorable homage to the holistic history of horror. Lovingly recreating the look of the Universal classics, the grainy monochrome and vignette edges give the special a delightfully retro feel.Ĭostumes and dialects representing every era help unburden the special from one specific moment in time, adding to the eternally timeless quality.

In his book “The Art of Loving” (1956) the psychoanalyst and philosopher Erich Fromm (1900-1980) discusses how love is often wrongly perceived as the passive “falling in love.” For Fromm, love is mainly a decision to love, to become a loving person. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Over the next two decades, the Museum, in collaboration with the City, made further changes to the building and, thanks to a new lot, added exhibition galleries, a theater and a flexible outdoor space.
