On reflection, we suspect probably not, due to being British and so spending our formative years drinking cider and eating chips, unlike the healthy Continental people who eat salad and go cycling. The mummies in the playground spend much time discussing if we ever had arses like those of the au pairs. I fear hipster bars are probably the new smoky jazz clubs anyway, now that smoking is banned everywhere.Īnyway, Simon might deny checking out the au pairs’ arses when he picks up the children, but he’s blatantly lying, it is impossible not to notice the au pairs’ arses. Sadly, the whisky was just part of a cocktail in a very wanky hipster bar. I did achieve the inappropriate skirt and the whisky, though. In lieu of smoky jazz clubs, Parisian garrets and unsuitable boys, Simon took me out for birthday tapas last night and I got a bit more drunk than I meant to.

First published in 1970, Studs Terkel's bestselling Hard Times has been called a huge anthem in praise of the American spirit (Saturday Review) and an invaluable record (The New York Times).

Fortunately, it's that kind of listener who will seek out this historic recording from 1960, and who will already know of Karajan's penchant for the grandiose. Anyone familiar with Karajan's Deutsche Grammophon recordings of the Requiem from the 1970s and '80s will not be surprised at the extremely slow tempos, heavy orchestral accompaniment, thick choral counterpoint, and nearly operatic style of the vocal soloists, which make this performance suitable only for traditionalists. Herbert von Karajan's recordings of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem in D minor offer an old-fashioned, highly reverent approach to the work, and they share a common manner of interpretation that persisted with the conductor for over two decades. Each time you do so, you will find another application of a natural mathematical concept that you had not noticed before. Die-cut windows reveal the interiors of the houses and the book can also be read from back to front. Just as our forebears developed our number system from observing the order of nature, the reader is subtly led to see and understand the real meaning of numbers. Annos Counting House (Book 1 in the Beautiful Math Series) by Mitsumasa Anno See Customer Reviews One by one, ten children move from their old house into their new house with all their possessions. But the seemingly simple plan of the book is deceptive: look more carefully and you will see one-to-one correspondences groups and sets scales and tabulations changes over time periods and many other mathematical relationships as they occur in natural, everyday living. Gentle watercolor pictures show a landscape changing through the various times of day and the turning seasons, months and years, and the activities of the people and animals who come to live there. In this book, Mitsumasa Anno, the creator of the brilliantly inventive Anno's Alphabet, invites young readers on another stimulating adventure of the imagination-this time into the world of numbers and counting. As they try to bring sense and order into what they observe, they are actually performing basic mathematical feats. Children start to count long before they learn their ABC's, for they are constantly comparing and classifying things and events they observe around them. Every child is a natural mathematician, according to Mitsumasa Anno. “But the way I see it is, I’m willing to forgive you for everything you’ve done, and I wish you’d actually sat down with me, properly, and instead of saying I’m delusional and paranoid, actually sit down and have a proper conversation about this, because what I’d really like is some accountability. It's hard to imagine what ended up on the cutting room floor since so much explosive material did end up in the book, which Harry acknowledges: “Now, you could argue that some of the stuff I’ve put in there, well, they will never forgive me anyway,” he says. And also, because you need to understand the characters and personalities of everyone within the book.” But it’s impossible to tell my story without them in it, because they play such a crucial part in it. “Because on the scale of things I could include for family members, there were certain things that-look, anything I’m going to include about any of my family members, I’m going to get trashed for,” Harry says. Changing the function of a word, or a room, can produce surprise and meaning. The word "architect" is a noun, but Doug Patt uses it as a verb-coining a term and making a point about using parts of speech and parts of buildings in new ways.

Acclaimed physicist and writer Sean Carroll debunks the myths, resurrects and reinstates the Many-Worlds interpretation, and presents a new path towards solving the apparent conflict between quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of general relativity. Spanning the history of quantum discoveries, from Einstein and Bohr to the present day, Something Deeply Hidden is the essential guide to the most intriguing subject in science. It stands as the best explanation of the fundamental nature of our world. The implications are mind-bending, and not yet fully understood, but this revolutionary theory is truly illuminating.

Visiting all those beautiful varied worlds, the lore, the plot, the near impossible puzzles. I have very fond memories of my childhood playing the Myst games, loved them all, specially #3 and #4.
