The first thing I appreciate about Decker’s work is that on page xx he up-front ‘outs’ himself as a Christian “who accepts Scripture as an authoritative text.” This, as he notes, has no particular bearing on his teaching of the Greek language, but at the same time he readily submits that even in a textbook on Greek language, some of his (theological) opinions on Koine texts will be apparent. In the first post I want to engage with some of the Preface (pages xix – I am generally sympathetic, though obviously I have some methodological issues with the whole approach. In this post and some subsequent ones I will offer a review of Decker’s new Koine Greek textbook. His passing earlier this year was a loss for us, but great gain for him! I was grateful, then, that his “Reading Kine Greek: An introduction and integrated workbook” was able to be brought to publication by Baker. The late Rod Decker was a fine and outstanding academic, teacher, and although I never met him or had any interaction beyond his writings, I held him in considerable respect. The "trainites," a group of violent environmental activists, want him to lead their movement the government wants him dead and the media demands amusement. Environmentalist Austin Train is on the run. Large corporations fighting over profits from gas masks, drinking water, and clean food tower over an ineffectual, corrupt government. The water is undrinkable-unless you're poor and have no choice. The infant mortality rate is soaring, and birth defects, new diseases, and physical ailments of all kinds abound. Nebula Award Finalist: A prophetic look at the potential consequences of the escalating destruction of the Earth In a near future, the air pollution is so bad that everyone wears gas masks. “If anything should ever separate us,” he says, “you must think of me at my best, old boy. When it is time to say good night, Steerforth is reluctant to leave. The last time David sees Steerforth, it is a late night as they sit by the fire together. Unfortunately, David fails to notice the red flags of Steerforth’s attraction to Emily. David introduces Steerforth to a mutual friend, a beautiful young woman named Emily. David develops an intense and passionate admiration for Steerforth, who is like a friend, older brother, and father, all at once. Although David and Steerforth fall out of touch when they leave school, they eventually meet again by chance as young adults. Steerforth is mature, charming, charismatic, and everything David would like to be. “I’ll take care of you,” Steerforth says. Steerforth rescues David, treats him kindly, and draws him into a circle of friends. Poor David is bullied mercilessly until an older student named Steerforth steps in to protect him. As a boy-lost, alone, and abused by his stepfather-David Copperfield is sent to boarding school, where he is treated no better by the children around him. As many coming-of-age stories do, Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield begins with a lonely child trying to find his way in the world. Tahlia, her two friends and her mum, who is also a fan, travelled down to Friday’s concert in Murrayfield. Harry picked up the flag and danced across the stage from one side to the other, finally draping it over the microphone stand where it remained for another three or four songs. The Shetland flag belonged to Tahlia Leslie who threw it on stage during Harry’s song Satellite. The singer was playing at the stadium in the Scottish capital while there was a Edinburgh derby football match on in the city and BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend was on in Dundee. One concert-goer threw the Shetland flag on stage and the W atermelon Sugar singer danced around stage with it before hanging it on a pole. Harry Styles was flying the flag for Shetland at a concert in Edinburgh’s BT Murrayfield on Friday.

You dont learn about it in school, and you dont hear. Asexuality is a real identity and it’s time the world recognizes it. (W) Molly Muldoon (A/CA) William Hernandez Asexuality is often called the invisible orientation. This book is for anyone who wants to learn about asexuality, and for Ace people themselves, to validate their experiences. Too many young people grow up believing that their lack of sexual desire means they are broken – so writer Molly Muldoon and cartoonist Will Hernandez, both in the ace community, are here to shed light on society’s misconceptions of asexuality and what being ace is really like. So, it’s kinda hard to be ace in a society so steeped in sex that no one knows you exist. An engaging and essential handbook for anyone interested in gaining insight into an oft-misunderstood community. You don’t learn about it in school, you don’t hear “ace” on television. A Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2022. This book is for anyone who wants to learn about asexuality, and for Ace people themselves, to validate their experiences.Īsexuality is often called The Invisible Orientation. "An engaging and essential handbook for anyone interested in gaining insight into an oft-misunderstood community." - Library Journal Cortázar is addressing himself to the humorless, schizophrenic sense of time and culture in Latin America and, far from winking at the Left Bank intelligentsia, he is slapping Latin-American readers out of their wits-with as much force and, I believe, greater imagination than the so-called Angry Young Men used on the English in their day. Wain decides that Cortázar has written an anti-novel with one eye on his true public, the French literary avant-garde (does such a thing really exist?), who would surely disapprove of any linear, plotted, conventionally characterized novel. These are the stakes of the game in which Cortázar, a free man, a writer, proclaims to Latin America: “You are as I want to see you, not as you wish to be seen.” If it is natural that Time should not perceive this, it is more surprising that John Wain, writing in the New York Review of Books, should so completely miss the point that the totally invented world of Hopscotch is, precisely, the only world that can give significance to the human void between the abstract dualisms of Argentina in particular and Latin America in general. He is risking his all while playing: his roots, his culture, his language, even, finally, his own identity. Thus it is true that Cortázar is playing games, but not, as Time's anonymous reviewer suspects, gratuitous games. Taken from his many published works, these selections make up a concise introduction to the Hanh’s major themes-such as mindfulness, enlightenment, and compassion-and distill his teachings on the transformation of individuals, relationships, and society. Now, that wisdom has been compiled into one pocket-sized collection featuring his most powerful and inspiring teachings. Known for his warm, generous, and joyful teaching style, Hanh has made his wisdom remarkably accessible and resonant to readers across the globe. The seeming simplicity of his words belies the power of his ability to touch the heart and mind, and to inspire spiritual practice. Since Thich Nhat Hanh’s exile from his native Vietnam in 1966, the Zen Buddhist monk has gone on to become one of the most influential and beloved spiritual masters of our age.
