Lonesome Dove has been described as an anti-western Western because it undercuts our mythology of cowboys and Indians. ![]() Many Dove fans mention Wallace Stevens’ description of a rare type of reading experience in which “the reader becomes the book” – that is, a state in which words and pages melt away and you and the story are one. Mention the novel to anyone and they will tell you they adore this book, even if they haven’t read it for nearly thirty years. McMurtry’s beloved novel seems to have had a resurgence during quarantine – perhaps folks are looking back on classics they hadn’t read, or were inspired (as I was) to learn more about Larry McMurtry after reading his obituaries last March. ![]() ![]() ![]() But how do we interpret these images? In his introduction, Thomas Banchoff points out that there is no better way to begin exploring the problem of understanding higher-dimensional slicing phenomena than reading this classic novel of the Victorian era. We can now manipulate objects in four dimensions and observe their three-dimensional slices tumbling on the computer screen. This field, which literally makes higher dimensions seeable, has aroused a new interest in visualization. By imagining the contact of beings from different dimensions, the author fully exploited the power of the analogy between the limitations of humans and those of his two-dimensional characters.Ī first-rate fictional guide to the concept of multiple dimensions of space, the book will also appeal to those who are interested in computer graphics. Since then Flatland has fascinated generations of readers, becoming a perennial science-fiction favorite. In 1884, Edwin Abbott Abbott wrote a mathematical adventure set in a two-dimensional plane world, populated by a hierarchical society of regular geometrical figures-who think and speak and have all too human emotions. ![]() ![]() Thick outlines separate individual shapes, and the muted palette epitomizes softness.

As the book draws toward its close, each child is featured in a full-page portrait illustration, gazing out as they note what the quiet and stillness offers to them: “I can think, when I’m quiet.

Between the political unrest and novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it's difficult to look back on the year and find something, anything, that was a potential bright spot in an otherwise turbulent trip around the sun.

Relationships are better established without any Early-Installment Weirdness at fault, ages are more concrete, the Warrior Code is rewritten, and there are more explicitly queer characters than before. Warriors Rewrite expands upon and changes elements from Warriors canon. The next day Rusty leaves his sister Princess and their owner so that he can live in the wild as "Firepaw". Graypaw's leader Bluestar sees potential in Rusty and invites him to join ThunderClan. One day he goes into the neighboring woods and meets Graypaw, a similarly-aged cat who lives with his Clan in the forest. Rusty is a 6-month old kitten who has dreams of the forest. Currently only the first story has been finished: Enter the Wild (a rewrite of the first book, Into the Wild). ![]() ![]() Warriors Rewrite is a planned rewrite of the Warrior Cats series by MurasakiNoAo. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not being a reader of Pullman, I cannot comment on how true it is to the book on which it was based. To quote Sherlock Holmes, "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." This production eliminated none of the impossible, and so we are left wallowing in disbelief at what we are expected to accept as the "truth" of the story. And though very funny (*Was* it an attempt at farce?), during the scene at the Patent Office, I wasn't sure whether the Anglo-Asian clerk was befuddled by Sally because she was a woman or ineptly flirting with her. Why did Sally only wear a hat to visit the villain? Was it 1875 when she was investigating, but 1970 or later in the rest of the story? I would have expected her to cover her head whenever she went out, with the exception of emergency. Sally Lockhart crosses paths with the nefarious industrialist Axel Bellman, the richest and most powerful man in Europe. This is not at all what I expect from "Mystery!" Unless intended as farce, in which case it did not succeed either, I found the production far-fetched, and fraught with 21st century sensibilities and laxity. ![]() ![]() ![]() Raspet Flight Research Laboratory is the nation’s leading academic research center dedicated to the advancement of uncrewed aircraft systems. “It’s fast, nimble, and it can carry a good load.” “My favorite aircraft is a Cessna 310,” said Glen.
