![]() Bronson Alpha grazes and destroys the Moon. Tidal waves sweep inland at a height of 750 feet (230 m), volcanic eruptions and earthquakes add to the deadly toll, and the weather runs wild for more than two days. As the planets approach, observers see through their telescopes cities on Bronson Beta. The United States evacuates coastal regions in preparation for the first encounter. Scientists led by Cole Hendron work desperately to build an atomic rocket to transport enough people, animals and equipment to Bronson Beta to save humanity from extinction. Bronson Beta (discovered to be Earth-like and potentially habitable) may remain and assume a stable orbit. Sixteen months later, after swinging around the Sun, Bronson Alpha (a gas giant) will return to pulverize the Earth and depart. In eight months, they will pass close enough for gravitational forces to cause catastrophic damage to the Earth. Sven Bronson, a Swedish astronomer working at an observatory in South Africa, discovers a pair of rogue planets, Bronson Alpha and Bronson Beta, which will soon enter the Solar System. It was first published as a six-part monthly serial (September 1932 through February 1933) in Blue Book magazine, illustrated by Joseph Franké.

Although a Christian, it was to the pagan Greek philosophers that he turned for inspiration following his abrupt fall from grace. Boethius was an eminent public figure who had risen to great political heights in the court of King Theodoric when he was implicated in conspiracy and condemned to death. ![]() Written in prison before his brutal execution in AD 524, Boethius’ The Consolation of Philosophy is a conversation between the ailing prisoner and his ‘nurse’ Philosophy, whose instruction restores him to health and brings him to enlightenment. ![]() ![]() ‘Should I read …?’, ‘What’s that book?’ posts, sales links, piracy, plagiarism, low quality book lists, unmarked spoilers (instructions for spoiler tags are in the sidebar), sensationalist headlines, novelty accounts, low effort content.

![]() ![]() There was a continuous feud between the Shudra kings and the Brahmins in which the Brahmins were subjected to many tyrannies and indignities.They ranked as part of the Kshatriya Varna in the Indo-Aryan society. The Shudras did not form a separate Varna. ![]() There was a time when the Aryan society recognised only three Varnas, namely.The Shudras were one of the Aryan communities of the solar race"." Two questions are raised in this book: (1) Who were the Shudras? and (2) How they came to be the fourth Varna of the Indo-Aryan society? My answers to them are summarised below. In the book, Ambedkar citing Rigveda, Mahabharata and other ancient vedic scriptures, estimates that the Shudras were originally Aryans.Īmbedkar writes in the preface of the book, Ambedkar dedicated the book to Jyotirao Phule (1827–1890). The book discusses the origin of the Shudra Varna. Who Were the Shudras? is a history book published by Indian social reformer and polymath B. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Luckily, Zenny doesn’t seem to notice my odd jacket pose. You’re thirty-six, not thirteen, I have to remind myself. I pick up my crumpled suit jacket off the floor and hold it in front of my crotch, a move straight from the Adolescent Boy Playbook. I have to fight myself not to sniff the air like a wolf after she walks past me and props herself against the back of my sofa. Zenny gives me a sunny smile and pushes by, leaving that delicate rose scent in her wake. ![]() Like Elijah, Zenny was somewhat exempt from the Bell-Iverson schism, and I can’t actually be sure that she wouldn’t tell my mom about this, so I spin around and yank open the door before I can think about it any longer. “Let me inside, please, or I’ll tell her how rude you were.” “Sean, I know your mother raised you better than this,” Zenny calls through the door, sounding amused. If anything, my body and my dick are thrilled that Zenny is here in the flesh. All of my normal confidence is gone, all of my normal contingency-thinking, all of my charm and problem solving, it’s just fucking gone.Īll that’s left is wanting Zenny and knowing I shouldn’t want her, and oh yeah, this idiot erection I have that is refusing to relent. And I’m not even thinking, I’m just panicking, turning in circles like a dog walking into a room where the furniture’s been rearranged. “Uh, Sean?” I hear her say from the other side, but I’m too busy pacing in circles right now to answer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “They are after a long lost treasure called the One Piece. “Why do you think that? What did you learn, everyone” Aizawa sighed and grabbed him with his scarf. Todoroki nodded and wandered towards the strawhats ship. ![]() I don’t think that they are that bad.” Kirishima said. They were at the pirate’s mercy in more ways than one. Uraraka also, in an astounding display of recklessness, already went ahead. Logically they should not enter an enemy ship, but everyone was hungry and there was nothing else to eat and nothing to drink but sake.

What Hazanov eventually realizes is that these patients achieve in psychotherapy not a complete transformation of their lives, but rather a more truthful way to exist. Through ten linked stories, we follow Hazanov as he navigates the maze of psychological theories he’s been taught and manages complex, often fraught relationships with his first patients: a dying patient who can’t separate from his family properly because they don’t understand him a formerly brilliant scientist who becomes psychotic and mistrustful an older man who finds a first girlfriend at the age of 67, only to be dumped by her a few months later a couple that loves each other with limitations. ![]() Try as he might to seek answers and reassurance, he kept returning to the same fears: therapy is bullshit. What he didn’t know was that, over the course of his training, his own doubts about his chosen field would overtake his family’s scepticism. In the spirit of Mikhail Bulgakov’s A Young Doctor’s Notebook and Sandeep Jauhar’s Intern, a deeply honest, searching examination of psychotherapy based on the experiences of a young sceptical trainee in New York City.īorn to a family with six generations of doctors, Valery Hazanov knew he was breaking with a long tradition when he decided to pursue psychology. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Way of the Peaceful Warrior changes lives. I highly recommend you pick up the book, or at least watch the movie. In this Way of the Peaceful Warrior book review, I'm going to share some of the most powerful insights that I've had that really stuck out for me and has made a difference in my life. I loved the book so much that I decided to read the follow-up book called Wisdom of the Peaceful Warrior, which goes deeper into the lessons and concepts from the Way of the Peaceful Warrior. Around a month or so ago, I re-watched the movie and decided to pick up the book to learn more about Dan Millman's story and philosophy towards life. I originally watched the Peaceful Warrior movie years ago and it had a lot of powerful lessons and insights that I had used to improve my life. A fantastic book that I recently finished reading and studying is the Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman, which has really changed my way of thinking lately and I've been working on practicing the concepts in the book. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can find out more about Stephanie at Our Authors page. She is responsible for introducing the enormously successful works of much-loved French author, the Countess de Ségur, to a whole new generation of English-speaking children. Stephanie is a Sydney-based translator who turned in a legal career to combine her true loves of literature and French. But it has dropped out of sight in English-speaking countries as the original English translation–published well over a century ago!–is rather stodgy and dated for modern tastes.īut in award-winning translator Stephanie Smee’s perfectly-pitched, lively translation of the original 1876 French text, the first such translation in over a hundred years, English-speaking readers can discover for themselves just why this novel has such an enormous following not only in France but all over the world. In France, it’s been a huge success from the word go, and has never been out of print, with most people considering it to be Verne’s best novel. ![]() |
