The perks of being a wallflower 4k6/7/2023 Acceptance seems to be a huge part of life for the growing youth. It's a tragic epidemic that nobody wants to hear about, but it's prevalent. You can hardly watch or listen to the news without hearing about teenagers being involved with suicide, bullying, and murder. A few no-brainer titles always make their cut, but this year I'm actually proud of the People's Choice Awards for deeming 'The Perks of Being A Wallflower' one of 2012's finest – something that the Academy Awards have completely failed to do.Īlthough based on a 1999 book of the same title, the content of 'Perks' could not have been more socially relevant as it is today. I typically don't agree with the People's Choice Awards because, well, if awards were given based on the movies that the mass public saw and liked, then each ' Transformers' movie would receive countless accolades.

Four lost cities annalee newitz6/7/2023 Cahokia, located near present-day Saint Louis, was at its height (circa 1050 C.E.) an agricultural epicenter big on collective gatherings, fun and not (human sacrifices were common), until flood and drought likely took a toll. Thailand’s Angkor is known now for its majestic temples, but in the 13th century, those were just part of an agriculturally complex and sprawling region with a sophisticated infrastructure that was hard to maintain amid climate fluctuation and shaky leadership. Pompeii was famously obliterated by a volcanic eruption in 79 C.E., but before it then exemplified a diverse society whose folkways survived beyond the city’s ruins. Catalhoyuk, located in present-day Turkey 9,000 years ago, marked humanity’s uneasy shift from farming communities to a dense city until sustained cold and drought unraveled the place. To do that, they select a quartet of once-mighty metropolises. Newitz is interested in how cities form, grow, and dissipate, and the author trains their focus on how everyday lives were affected by those processes. An exploration of four far-flung ancient cities, each undone by climate and politics.Īn alternate title for this book might be A People’s History of Urbanism.

The witches salem 1692 a history6/6/2023 One man was pressed to death under heavy stones, the only such state-sanctioned execution of its kind. Twenty of those people were executed, most by hanging. But it wasn’t until legal failings, mass paranoia, and Puritan religious and societal rules converged against a backdrop of economic and political uncertainty that the most horrifying witch-hunt against innocent people occurred in Colonial Massachusetts.ĭuring the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, more than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft. More than 300 years ago, it was a felony to practice witchcraft in the American colonies, defined by English law as acting with magical powers bestowed by the Devil. But those frivolous and fanciful witches we know today-cackling in black garb and pointy hats with broomstick in hand-have evolved a great deal over the past several centuries. In fact, witches are the most popular adult Halloween costume year after year. To understand and commemorate this dark period in our country’s legal history, we’re looking back at the court proceedings and laws during the Salem Witch Trials and their impact on the American legal system.įrom Hocus Pocus to The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, it’s clear that people love witches. The most horrific part? The Salem Witch Trials happened under the auspices of “the law.” More than 300 years ago, twenty people were put to death for the “crime” of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials. The art of fiction by john gardner6/6/2023 After several other thrillers came his successful trilogy about Herbie Kruger, comprising The Nostradamus Traitor, The Garden of Weapons and The Quiet Dogs. His first book was the autobiographical Spin the Bottle, shortly followed by eight novels about his famous character Boysie Oakes, the agent who always blundered while retaining a paradoxical sense of schoolboy humour. Back in England, and once more a civilian, he continued his interrupted education at St John's College, Cambridge, eventually ending up as drama and art critic on the Stratford-upon-Avon Herald, where he began to write plays in his spare time. Educated at King Alfred's School, Wantage, he served with 42 Commando, Royal Marines, at the end of World War II. Born in 1926, John Gardner lived his first years in the bleak mining village of Seaton Delaval near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. |
