But there is more: the authors in this volume also share an interest in the hidden, the unsaid, the unknown-forgotten people and objects become main protagonists. Each of the contributions addresses these notions in their own particular manner, sometimes more, sometimes less explicitly. These are concepts and ideas quite central to Rudolf G. The contributions in the second volume (Transcultural Perspectives on Late Imperial China) are linked by a common interest in questions of transculturality, hybridity, contact zones and third spaces. While the first six contributions on the early China period focus on conceptual questions of text interpretation and reconstruction, the following five on medieval China all deal with religious topics whereas the last four contributions, covering the late imperial period, address issues of the entangled relationship between the self and the exterior. The first volume (Transcultural Perspectives on Pre-modern China) brings together a set of contributions relating to the pre-modern period which reveals thematic clusters that correspond to the three main periods of Chinese pre-modern history. The essays are also testimony to his ability to connect with scholars across the globe, across disciplines and generations. The expansive time frame from pre-modern to contemporary China in China and the World-the World and China reflect the breadth of his own scholarship. A wide range of topics is covered in this collection of four volumes of essays in honor of Rudolf G.

It was a little bit of a crisis for me, and my reaction was to go sit in the Oakland Rose Garden and do nothing - that was the seed of it. It was a moment in which I was observing that I had kind of an abusive relationship with my media consumption. Jenny Odell: The book came out of a moment that I was having in late 2016 - there was the election and we also had the Ghost Ship fire here in Oakland. Robert Raymond: What inspired you to write this book? Shareable spoke with the author about productivity, capitalism and social media. She critically analyzes the idea of productivity that is so central to our society, and comes up with some fascinating insights. Odell’s book is anti-capitalist and in many ways an indictment of busyness. This never-ending pressure is what inspired artist and writer Jenny Odell to pen her first book, “How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy.” In its pages, Odell takes apart our notions of productivity and explores how in this age of incessant doing, the simple act of doing nothing can be revolutionary. Instead of enjoying a few minutes of stillness, we feel constant pressure to do something. Being idle in this age of hyper-productivity can sometimes leave us feeling a sense of profound guilt.

So while I gripped the pages and prepared my heart to read Unwanted, I am proud to say that Marley Valentine wrote a beautiful story that didn’t cut open old wounds, but instead filled my heart with overwhelming love. My family has lived through this nightmare with my brother and it never fails to reopen those wounds again every single time. However, like any human being there is one topic that can sometimes push me just a little too far and that is drug abuse. I’ve shared before that I will read anything and jump into any trope, I basically have zero limitations when it comes to reading romance. It’s a combination of all of that plus it’s a deep look into the heart of addiction and forever journey on the road to recovery. Unwanted isn’t just a story about foster kids finding love, or finding support, or their new family. Genre/Tropes: Second Chance/Addiction/MM Romance/Found FamilyĪ very emotional, second chance at life, at romance, at a new beginning. As a publicity stunt, there is a parade through the city, but it is cut short by the disgruntled population throwing food and insulting her. The selection begins, and we meet a variety of suitors, some of which catch Eadlyn’s attention. Her parents decided, if at the end of the three months she’s not truly satisfied, she isn’t required to choose anyone. The Selection is meant to last three months. Eadlyn opposes this as she is quite stubborn and believes that she is not quite ready for love or marriage. So as a means to distract the people, Eadlyn’s parents propose that she go through her own Selection, which entails the heir to the throne choosing a suitor. As I mentioned before, the castles have since been deconstructed, and the country is in distress. But the laws have since been changed, allowing her to be the first female ruler of the country which excites her, but leaves her feeling overwhelmed. For those of you who have not read The Selection Series, the novels take place in Illéia which is similar to a futuristic the United States, but one that exists in a world of segregated socio-economic classes called “castes.” Where The Heir takes place, Eadlyn’s father has deconstructed the castles, and there is turmoil brewing, but I digress…Įadlyn is born just ahead of her brother Ahren, and before her father’s rule, he would have been the heir to the throne.

The magnet reads the movement of the needle and transduces it into a tiny electrical signal which produces audio. The way record players work is that the needle, or stylus, is attached to a cartridge that has a magnet inside. The other option is to just avoid the lowest cost Crosleys and go for something like the Crosley Rochester instead, which comes with a diamond-tipped stylus. This is something we always recommend when buying a cheap turntable.Īnd replacing the needle on a cheap player is much better and easier than going even cheaper and making your own record player. That means you can simply replace the needle with a higher-quality one and you’ll no loner have to worry about this issue. It is the cheap needles they use for their low-priced products. In other words, the Crosley turntable itself is not doing any damage. The tips are not carefully manufactured and have rougher edges, which wear down your records at a much faster pace than well-made, high-end styli. The reason are the cheap styli found on Crosley players and on similarly priced entry level turntables like Jensen. 2 Are Crosley Record Players Bad: Final Thoughts.
He would take one of the young Inuit hunters and attempt a 1000-mile journey to save the shipwrecked survivors. Captain Bartlett now made a difficult and courageous decision. Under Bartlett's leadership they built make-shift shelters, surviving the freezing darkness of Polar night. Twenty-two men and an Inuit woman with two small daughters now stood on a mile-square ice floe, their ship and their original leader gone. As the ship became icebound, Stefansson disembarked with five companions and struck out on what he claimed was a 10-day caribou hunting trip. Just six weeks after the Karluk departed, giant ice floes closed in around her. The expedition's visionary leader was a flamboyant impresario named Vilhjalmur Stefansson hungry for fame. At the helm was Captain Bob Bartlett, considered the world's greatest living ice navigator. In the summer of 1913, the wooden-hulled brigantine Karluk departed Canada for the Arctic Ocean. |
