Because one near-apocalypse just isn’t enough, right? fake Watcher’s Council member and Leo’s mom.Īnd while Nina is dealing with the darkness inside, there’s also a new threat on the outside, portended by an odd triangle symbol that seems to be popping up everywhere, in connection with Sean’s demon drug ring as well as someone a bit closer to home. Plus, though she gained back her Slayer powers from Leo, they’re not feeling quite right after being held by the seriously evil succubus Eve, a.k.a. With her sister Artemis gone and only a few people remaining at the castle-including her still-distant mother-Nina has her hands full. ![]() ![]() Now that Nina has turned the Watcher’s Castle into a utopia for hurt and lonely demons, she’s still waiting for the utopia part to kick in. ![]() Nina continues to learn how to use her slayer powers against enemies old and new in this second novel in the New York Times bestselling series from Kiersten White, set in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ![]() “Will get Buffy fans up in their feels.” -Entertainment Weekly on Slayer ![]() ![]() Young said - anyone who has the pressure of accomplishing “firsts.”īut there are ways to overcome feeling like an impostor - beginning by recognizing that it’s more than just a feeling.įeel a wave of self-doubt coming on? You might be suffering from impostor syndrome - and part of what makes it so complicated is that there’s no one way that it plays out. It tends to affect minority groups disproportionately, Ms. ![]() It persists through college and graduate school and into the working world, where women tend to judge their performance as worse than they objectively are while men judge their own as better. According to Valerie Young, an educator and the author of “The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women,” it is common among high achievers, creative people and students. It’s that nagging feeling that you’re not good enough, that you don’t belong, that you don’t deserve the job, the promotion, the book deal, the seat at the table. ![]() The term “impostor syndrome” wasn’t coined until 1978 (by two American psychologists, Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes), but it’s safe to assume that women have always felt it. My impostor syndrome has played out during public speeches, job negotiations and when I received my first book deal - prompting me to ask, “But why would anyone pay money to read what I have to say?” My editor, a woman, didn’t miss a beat: “I often wonder the same about my editing!” she said. ![]() ![]() Giorgio Petrocchi, La Commedia secondo l’antica vulgata, Milano 1966-1967.Istituto della Enciclopedia Italiana, Enciclopedia Dantesca, 6 volumes, Roma 1970-1978.A possibility that Dante studies have not yet given due consideration. In conclusion, it is possible that Dante dictated most, if not all, of the Comedia to his trusted amanuensis: his sons. In addition, some of Dante's passages on the composition of poems in the vernacular are examined. Although no autographs of Dante are preserved, unlike those of Francesco Petrarch and Giovanni Boccaccio, it is nevertheless possible to understand what handwriting he used, at least for his letters. ![]() The way Dante "wrote" it is described in the first miniatures of the Divine Comedy. But how did he conceive it, create it, elaborate it? By writing it or by dictating it? Several topics are addressed to answer this question. Dante is the author of the Divine Comedy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now available in print for the first time in many years (and in e-book for the very first time!), The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer chronicles Laura's life from age 12 to her death at 17, and is filled with secrets, character references, and even clues to the identity of her eventual killer.įans of the show will love seeing their favorite characters again, and Laura's diary makes compelling reading as she turns from a naive freshman having her first kiss to a "bad girl" experimenting with drugs, sex and the occult. Laura Palmer was introduced to television audiences in the opening scenes of "Twin Peaks"as a beautiful dead girl, wrapped in plastic. ![]() Back in print for the first time in yearsand available in eBook for the first timethe New York Times bestselling tie-in to the hit television show and cult classic, Twin Peaks. ![]() ![]() ![]() As Miss Marple explains how two dead blondes have been swapped in a kind of conjuring trick, she interjects with warm appreciation at each fresh revelation: "Mind like a sink, you know," "Isn't she marvellous?" and "You must admit she is frightfully good!" The whole story is played, though not excessively, for comedy. Joanna Lumley plays a blinder as Miss Marple's Watson. When her friend, Dolly Bantry (Joanna Lumley) says they never have wild parties in St Mary Mead, she agrees with infinitely lingering regret "N-a-y-o-w." You wouldn't have thought a single vowel could be stretched out as long as that without a wild horse at either end. Talking of little tarts, her sidelong eyes are full of mischief, and one suspects that this Miss Marple has a racy past. ![]() Her tiny face is screwed up like a withered apple, sharp and possibly a little tart. (Phoebe de Gaye - I know she sounds implausible - has had a lot of fun with the costumes.) She is so fond of this particular hat, and indeed it is flattering, that she has a blue and a green version. As Miss Marple she looks like a mischievous elf wearing a hat like a fallen leaf or half a harebell. At a gathering of the Clan McEwan, all with mighty knees and some playing the bagpipes, she would stand out. Invisible is not in a leading lady's vocabulary. ![]() Now, Christie's idea of Miss Marple was a maiden lady, so fluttery, so flustered, so wreathed in fluffy wool that she was effectively invisible. ![]() ![]() ![]() Defending a clear anti-reductionist position, he considered memory to be of a deeply spiritual nature the brain serving the need of orienting present action by inserting relevant memories. Bergson was opposed to this reduction of spirit to matter. Ribot claimed that the findings of brain science proved that memory is lodged within a particular part of the nervous system localized within the brain and thus being of a material nature. Matter and Memory was written in reaction to the book The Maladies of Memory by Th�odule Ribot, that appeared in 1881. Within that framework the analysis of memory serves the purpose of clarifying the problem. Its subtitle is "Essay on the relation of body and spirit", and the book presents an analysis of the classical philosophical problems concerning this relation. Matter and Memory is one of the four main works by the French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941).

Moorcock introduced Theleb K'aarna, Elric's longest running nemesis in "The Singing Citadel," the final story collected in Weird of the White Wolf. The stories also show a greater interaction between the Lords of Chaos and Elric's realm, setting up the situation for the final novel of the series. Although the four stories were written independently of each other, there is a pleasant symmetry in the first and last story while the second story adds to Elric's overarching epic. ![]() ![]() Michael Moorcock’s The Bane of the Black Sword collects three stories about Elric of Melniboné and adds a fourth story featuring Elric's friend, Rackhir the Red. ![]() |
