A second book in a series is never quite as breathtaking as the first, in my humble opinion, because there’s already a familiarity with the world presented in the book. The Fated Sky is the follow-up to The Calculating Stars, which I love, love, love, love, love. Don’t ask me why! But in any case, I’ve just completed a re-read via audiobook, and loved it all over again… so I think it’s about time to share my thoughts. I read The Fated Sky a year ago, but apparently didn’t write a review at the time. It might be okay for a backup, but there will have to be a human computer on board. The new electronic computation machines are not reliable and not easily programmed. The problem with that is the need for midjourney navigation calculations. The International Aerospace Coalition has grave reservations about sending their “Lady Astronauts” on such a dangerous mission. The first exploratory mission is being planned, and none of the women astronauts is on the crew list. Elma York, the noted Lady Astronaut, is working on rotation, flying shuttles on the moon and returning regularly to Earth.īut humanity must get a foothold on Mars. It is 1961, and the International Aerospace Coalition has established a colony on the moon. The Fated Sky continued the grand sweep of alternate history begun in The Calculating Stars.

In fact, the startling facts shown in Enoch explain and enlighten many scriptures. Yet, as I plan to show, Enoch's teaching is not unscriptural. He gives some details that are startling, and will shake many conceptions we have developed. Ask any ten Christians and you'll receive ten different descriptions of heaven.Įnoch, after his rapture, was given a tour of many places. Where do we get our conceptions of heaven, hell, paradise, and other scriptural places? Sometimes we are told so little that we have added our own ideas to fill in the blanks.

In other words, is it true that you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy? But she also touches on the idea of returning to one's native culture after a long enough absence that it is possible to look at it through an outsider's eyes (an etic rather than an emic view of the culture). If I were teaching a cultural anthropology class I would seriously consider teaching "Transformation" as wa way of illustrating the clash of cultures without having to consider actual existing cultures - which I think is a good way of looking at principles without bringing in personal biases. First, a quick question: are enough people finished with the book, or should I wait a couple of days before I post my review over on the Reviews thread?Īgain, with the realization that probably not everyone is finished reading the book yet, I still want to jot down a few thoughts - or maybe just a few areas for disucssion.Īs someone who has studied anthropology, I am amazed at how anthropological this book is. Early on, the novel reads like a lighthearted redemption-through-baking tale with a few quirks: the starter seems to have moods of its own and the loaves’ crusts crack into facelike visages. When the brothers leave town, they eagerly bestow their sourdough starter on their “number one eater,” and though Lois is hapless in the kitchen, she soon masters baking so well her loaves catch the attention of her employer’s in-house chef and, eventually, an elite invite-only farmers market in Alameda. The place is peculiar-it’s delivery-only, and the two brothers who own it are vague about their background (“Mazg,” they say)-but the food is amazing, especially the sourdough bread.

Fantastic Beast and Where to find Them book is written by Newt Scamander aka J.K. According to Pythagoras, first, the soul is an immortal thing that transforms into other kinds of living things. Men and women were accepted on equal terms in the community he formed, and the genders owned the property in common along with a standard set of rules to live life. The locals eventually turned against him, and he relocated to a town in southern Italy, where he died. He established a disciplined society (“society of disciplines”) in Croton, which was prominent for a brief period. His time promoted mathematics to have a profound and disastrous impact on philosophy. Pythagoras was one of the most significant individuals who ever lived. His work is divided into three sections: ancient philosophy, Catholic philosophy, and current philosophy. It is a dazzlingly unique examination of the ideologies of critical philosophers throughout history, from Plato and Aristotle through Kant and the twentieth century. It is regarded as one of the most significant philosophical works of all time. Bertrand Russell’s book provides a comprehensive insight into the history of western philosophy. Although Alice Liddell was born in 1852, twenty years later than Dodgson, she appears in both books as a little girl of seven, the age she was when Dodgson met her for the first time. The heroine of both books is Alice Liddell, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, where Dodgson was a tutor in mathematics.

Tomorrow, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of today? That with Estragon my friend, at this place, until the fall of night, I waited for Godot? That Pozzo passed, with his carrier, and that he spoke to us? Probably. Although scarcely an epistemologist or metaphysician, Vladimir has moments of lucidity in regard to their situation: The two tramps, Vladimir and Estragon, have nothing significant to do with their lives other than waiting for the inscrutable Godot, or any significant place to be other than by the side of a road in the middle of nowhere. “Let’s go.”-“We can’t.”-“Why not?”-“We’re waiting for Godot.”-“Ah.” With this infamous refrain, Samuel Beckett introduces the strange world of Waiting for Godot.
