![]() ![]() ![]() In Paradise Now, Chris Jennings tells the story of five interrelated utopian movements, revealing their relevance both to their time and to our own. To our eyes, the utopian communities that took root in America in the nineteenth century may seem ambitious to the point of delusion, but they attracted members willing to dedicate their lives to creating a new social order and to asking the bold question What should the future look like? In the wake of the Enlightenment and the onset of industrialism, a generation of dreamers took it upon themselves to confront the messiness and injustice of a rapidly changing world. Ellis, and Tony Horwitz comes a lively, thought-provoking intellectual history of the golden age of American utopianism-and the bold, revolutionary, and eccentric visions for the future put forward by five of history’s most influential utopian movements. ![]()

![]() ![]() But almost all Boston Groups’ meetings are speaker meetings. Just like AA everyplace else, Boston AA is divided into numerous individual AA Groups, and each Group has its particular Group name like the Reality Group or the Allston Group or the Clean and Sober Group, and each Group holds its regular meeting once a week. I have posted it here in hopes that it might help someone.īoston AA is like AA nowhere else on this planet. I have removed one or two of the passages which are very character-heavy, to make this a standalone piece on Boston AA, which by the way is the most insightful, well-written, and - of course - verbose take on the AA experience that exists, as far as I know. ![]() ![]() ![]() With the learned experience of a lifetime of writing, Cameron gives readers practical tools to start, pursue, and finish their writing project.

The fact that while KiKi was nervous about Kenny learning of their relationship she still refused to keep Charley a secret. The respect that existed between KiKi and Charley. There are a lot of sapphic romances that exist, but it becomes more limited when you want the leads to be Black and the story written by a Black writer. Let me explain why this book is so important. Kenny asks KiKi if his sister can move in with her which at first doesn't seem like a big deal because the women have lived with each other for a while however, things quickly change and it's clear that the women have an attraction to each other. The story focuses on KiKi who is best friends with Kenny. There is also some forced proximity which made it even better. I haven't read many romance books that are the "best friends brother" trope, but this was definitely a nice sapphic twist. It made me uncomfortable, but in a good way. I'm not sure if I should have listened to this one in a public place. My only criticism (like everyone else) is that it should have been longer I shouldn't have been listening to this book in public place. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tolkienįung zeroes in on why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and offers specific outside-the-box solutions that have emerged as the key to maximizing health." ![]() Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.

![]() ![]() ![]() Berkeley did this by suggesting that "Ideas can only resemble Ideas" – the mental ideas that we possess can only resemble other ideas (not material objects) and thus the external world consists not of physical form, but rather of ideas. Whilst, like all the Empiricist philosophers, both Locke and Berkeley agreed that we are having experiences, regardless of whether material objects exist, Berkeley sought to prove that the outside world (the world which causes the ideas one has within one's mind) is also composed solely of ideas. This book largely seeks to refute the claims made by Berkeley's contemporary John Locke about the nature of human perception. A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (commonly called Treatise) is a 1710 work, in English, by Irish Empiricist philosopher George Berkeley. ![]() ![]() One principal was a chaplain to Belgium’s King Leopold, organizing a cell of pigeon fanciers dubbed Leopold Vindictive that caused the Nazis fits. Some of the birds returned to British hands with accounts of life under Nazi rule, while others brought more substantial news of gun positions, troop movements, and the like. As BBC security correspondent Corera ( Cyberspies: The Secret History of Surveillance, Hacking, and Digital Espionage, 2016, etc.) writes, “in 2011, Chinese state media announced that a special unit of the People’s Liberation Army was training pigeons to conduct ‘special military missions.’" In this lively story, the author focuses closely on a British operation called Operation Columba, which seeded mostly rural areas of occupied Western Europe with more than 16,000 homing pigeons. ![]() ![]() The war in Europe takes to the skies-on the wings of birds.Ĭourier pigeons are the stuff of World War I set pieces, but they were still useful two decades later. ![]() ![]() ![]() They don't feel so lost when they're together.
