He discusses absolute pitch (otherwise known as perfect pitch) and rhythm deafness, which sometimes occurs following left-hemisphere strokes. ![]() (Great musical talent is sometimes present, but not always.) He describes individuals with dementia, with seizures, and with aphasia and how these conditions relate to musical skill or interest.

(Trade Paperback / Paperback, Revised edition) 1 day ago &0183 &32 British author Martin Amis, best known for the 1984 novel, Money, and 1989’s London Fields, has died, his publisher Penguin Books UK announced Saturday. ![]() ![]() ![]() They are the result of becoming incrementally more objective about life. The rooms seem smaller, the conversations less interesting, the family squabbles more annoying. ![]() ![]() The quantum of change is too small to be noticed on a trip away from home to the shops or the daily commute to work but the effect emerges into the macro-world when things seem different at home upon returning from holiday or visiting from university. It may be necessary for psychic survival but it becomes more false by the day. Thus whatever it was that ‘kept one going’ in the trials of exile, voluntary or not, is a self-preserving fiction. What does remain is a designation empty of any real meaning - countryman, neighbour, friend, relative have no pragmatic import. Stay away long enough, say thirty years or so, and whatever commonality that existed is dissipated by the winds of unshared experience. Living with fixed memories, no matter how accurate, means disappointment in proportion to the time away, for both the traveller and the keepers of the hearth. The real suffering and trauma of exile occurs not in the time away from one’s homeland but upon return. Homer got it wrong in the Odyssey, at least for modern folk. ![]() ![]() ![]() Readers new to the author will be enthralled, and those familiar with the first book will find that the faith it inspired has not been misplaced."- Publishers Weekly on Ancillary Sword "Breq's struggle for meaningful justice in a society designed to favor the strong is as engaging as ever. "Fans of space operas will feast on its richly textured, gorgeously rendered world-building."- Entertainment Weekly on Ancillary Sword "The sort of space opera audiences have been waiting for."- NPR Books on Ancillary Sword "Powerful."- The New York Times on Ancillary Sword ![]() "A magnificent capstone to this promising trilogy."- RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars) "No science-fiction series as descriptive of our current political and cultural moment or as insistent that we open our eyes to it."- Slate "This trilogy will stand as a classic of sf for the ages."- Library Journal earns the credit it's received: As a capstone to a series that shook genre expectations, as our closing installment of an immersively realized world, and as the poignant story of a ship that learned to sing."- NPR Books ![]() Ann Leckie's sociopolitical space opera almost singlehandedly breathed new cool into the stereotype of spaceships trundling through far-off systems amid laser battles. "If you don't know the Ancillary series by now, you probably should. ![]() ![]() ![]() The genre reflects the society of the time it is written. The journey is the who, what, where and why of the story. And, while they are set in a historical time period they're not exactly “historical fiction” and the endings are rarely-if ever-in question. The romance genre is officially defined as having a romantic relationship at the center of the plot and a happy/optimistic HEA (happily ever after) at the end. ![]() If you are just dipping back into the historical romance genre or are exploring the genre for the first time, here are some things to keep in mind: We have more sexy, brooding dukes then you will know what to do with (or will you.?), plus a lot of rakes and rogues too-all of whom will ultimately fulfill your every need first, listen to you and validate you (while shirtless!).

The question remains how he came by this legacy. Without doubt, Lewis’s legacy as a reformational Christian is profound. Lewis exemplified this in his radio broadcasts, writing, and lecturing. And like these men, he recognized that Christianity is lived out in the world-and not merely in the church. ![]() ![]() Like Luther, Kuyper, and Schaeffer, Lewis took seriously those reformational categories of Scripture, Gospel, and Christ. As such he warrants a place in our Reformational Worldview Emphasis Month. Having authored popular works including Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Chronicles of Narnia, he is indisputably one of Christianity’s most beloved authors of the 20th century. Today, we celebrate Clive Staples “Jack” Lewis (1898-1963).

This series took me on one hell of a ride on an emotional roller coaster and I enjoyed every minute of it. It’s always sad for me to see a series I like come to an end, and Penryn and the End of Days is no different. The Review ( may contain minor spoilers from the previous books): As unlikely alliances form and strategies shift, who will emerge victorious? Forced to pick sides in the fight for control of the earthly realm, Raffe and Penryn must choose: Their own kind, or each other?

They’re both desperate to find a doctor who can reverse the twisted changes inflicted by the angels on Raffe and Penryn’s sister. ![]() After a daring escape from the angels, Penryn and Raffe are on the run. End of Days is the explosive conclusion to Susan Ee’s bestselling Penryn & the End of Days trilogy. ![]() |
