Text of the page (random words):
longtime friend named judith who was steeped in the humanities much of the book centers around these three people roger wanted input from judith on his work but judith was reluctant to offer feedback on material with which she was not familiar penrose wanted to have an affair but judith felt it was inappropriate roger and joan had a rocky marriage even though they had three sons he neglected his responsibilities as a husband and father and buried himself in his work penrose and joan eventually divorced he and judith parted ways and later in life he married a much younger research assistant that marriage failed as well he was pretty much a jerk in his personal life one of the more interesting parts of the book was roger s collaboration with stephen hawking whom he first met when hawking could still speak and write without assistance they collaborated on the developing theory of black holes while their perspectives differed both began writing books that popularized physics and astronomy and penrose was miffed that hawking got more attention for his popular work than roger did for his author patchen barss has a personal relationship with penrose still very much alive and the footnotes show much of the material comes from a series of personal interviews barss is to be credited with his objective look at penrose and his unwillingness to cut him any slack for his boorish personal behavior the same holds true for his account of penrose being unwilling to listen to criticism of some of his more outrageous theories later in life barss offers an even handed and comprehensive look at the life and work of roger penrose god against the gods posted november 27 2024 author mike christie filed under baseball life long learning religion leave a comment god against the gods robert garland phd colgate university stream with a great courses plus subscription or 29 95 to stream the video when on sale at the great courses if the course isn t on sale check back later the sale price will return one interesting if unsettling aspect of being a longtime consumer of great courses lectures is seeing the aging in professors who over time return to conduct courses in the first courses i saw by robert garland he was a much younger man than he is today and back then he was not an emeritus in fact the photo of professor garland displayed in the course guidebook shows a much younger man than we see in the video oh the decades fly by the great courses released the lecture series god against the gods earlier this year the subtitle is the history of monotheism and polytheism it is only twelve lectures but garland discusses the similarities and differences between monotheism and polytheism for the most part he focuses on ancient religions but he brings in some observations from the current day as well garland does not shy away from the less pleasant side of religions he offers one lecture on women and sexuality in religion in which he describes how shabbily women have been treated by religion across the millennia his lecture on intolerance underscores how much of that there has been in religion the lecture on contacting your god or gods includes a discussion of sacrifice and he does not avoid the subject of human sacrifice there was not a lot in this series that i didn t already know but in the penultimate lecture on good and evil he had some useful observations in the myth of orestes he clarifies that orestes was in a no win situation he was obligated to avenge the death of his father even though his father s murderer was his mother but that did not give him an out with the furies who pursued him for killing his mother in the version by aeschylus as presented in his oresteia trilogy athena had to intervene garland also points out that in the hebrew bible it is just fine to argue with god as abraham did over the fate of sodom i would not have purchased this series but as a great courses plus subscriber i found it an enjoyable review the book makers posted november 20 2024 author mike christie filed under books leave a comment the book makers a history of the book in eighteen lives adam smyth basic books may 28 2024 364 pages kindle edition 19 99 amazon hardcover 23 74 originally published in 2024 by the bodley head in great britain in this volume adam smyth covers a wide range of people involved in creating books from the sixteenth century to the present day smyth does not focus only on the most famous or important figures in the history of creating books he also writes about lesser known people who contributed to the evolution of the book he opens his narrative with a discussion of wynkyn de worde one of the first printers in the british isles after william caxton there were many well known binders in seventeenth century england but smyth focuses on an obscure figure named william wildgoose in this era the printer did not deliver books to the buyer bound but it was the responsibility of the person or institution buying the book to have it bound wildgoose was in that trade but he was not at the top of his profession he bound books for the bodleian library at oxford but smyth s careful review of the records shows he was the fill in guy he bound books for the bodleian when their regular binders were unavailable one of the more interesting stories in the book is that of the sisters mary and anna colett during the seventeenth century they were a part of a religious community a cult perhaps that their father founded they would cut and re paste sections of religious writings and the bible to create what they called a harmony some of their books reconciled the old and new testaments others attempted to compile a single life of christ from the four gospels they were meticulous and annotated their sources smyth gives a lot of space to typography one of the better known figures he covers is john baskerville in the eighteenth century who paved the way for the clean and easy to read type we know today the author devotes a chapter to thomas cobden sanderson whose work spanned the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth he specialized in small runs of classics such as paradise lost printed by a hand press he had a quality set of fonts but in an intellectual property dispute he threw his typefaces into the thames the author devotes a chapter to benjamin franklin who published one of the first newspapers in the americas he also did a lot of printing for the colonies including leaflets and currency smyth explains that in the colonial era newspaper publishers were also middlemen in the slave trade through their advertising and franklin was no exception though he later became an abolitionist smyth takes us close to the current day in his discussion of zines small publications created on photocopiers he also discusses other physical media published by people who felt that it was important to publish something physically tangible rather than simply creating an online presence the book makers covers a lot of territory and adam smyth has some interesting stories to tell gobsmacked posted november 14 2024 author mike christie filed under books language leave a comment gobsmacked the british invasion of american english ben yagoda princeton university press september 24 2024 279 pages kindle edition 14 72 amazon hardcover 22 75 there is a perception that the british complain americanisms are ruining their elegant language what many americans don t realize is that a lot of words that we use every day are of british or australian or irish origin ben yagoda professor emeritus of english at the university of delaware has created a blog on this subject not one off britishisms noobs that blog is the basis for this book in his first chapter yagoda makes the case that this is not a recent phenomenon he tells us that brunch smarmy and smog are all of british origin in the post world war ii chapter he lists bonkers dicey and piece of cake in his chapter on modern noobs he includes some words that i rarely hear in american english amongst bespoke and chat up for example yagoda lists early days as a noob the one time i heard the term used was by a british manager about a project we were actually nearing the end of the life of the project but i ve never heard it used by an american of course he includes the book s title gobsmacked which i would not have thought of as being originally british the same is true for non starter something i ve seen both in business and politics yagoda writes about the phrase no worries and points out that its use in the united states has exceeded its use in britain in fact i can only think of one person using that phrase someone i worked with back in my high tech employment days the term one off being of british origin came as something of a surprise and i certainly thought reckon would be of american origin but no the author uses several sources for his work including the oxford english dictionary the online new york times archive and the google books ngram viewer which allows you to see the usage of a word or phrase over time he includes several screen shots from the ngram viewer which unfortunately in the kindle edition are often hard to read without tapping on them to expand the size of the image gobsmacked will be enjoyable reading for anyone who has an interest in language deep water the world in the ocean posted november 7 2024 author mike christie filed under books science leave a comment deep water the world in the ocean james bradley harperone july 2 2024 467 pages kindle edition 10 99 amazon paperback 15 19 this was not the book i expected its content covers more than the title suggests author james bradley begins the book with a discussion of the creation of the earth he then discusses human evolution he makes the interesting point that among mammals only humans do not have the innate ability to swim that s something we have to learn he goes off on a long tangent on swimming not all ocean related he then offers an interesting chapter on migration though he includes birds as well as sea creatures he goes on to discuss sound both the sounds that whales and other inhabitants of the sea make and the dangers that human introduced sound bring to undersea denizens bradley discusses cognition in fish they seem to be more intelligent than we realize he offers an interesting discussion about cooperation among fish the author writes about the cleaner wrasse several species of fish that set up a business of removing parasites and other foreign objects from the scales of larger fish in the same chapter he discusses the concept of self awareness and the experiments performed to see if fish have self awareness the author then writes about the nature of the tides and then segues into a discussion of rising sea levels and the threat it has on people in low lying islands he recounts the five deeps mission a venture by the egotistical billionaire victor vescovo and his desire to visit the deepest parts of five oceans bradley talks with the mission scientist alan jamieson who was there for the science not the ego susan casey writes about her own experience with this project in the underworld bradley devotes considerable space to threats to the ocean and the planet he writes about the threat of undersea mining but then goes off on a tangent about cobalt mining on dry land and how our desire for cool electronics depends on child labor in the cobalt mines in the congo not about the ocean but worth our attention bradley goes on a visit with a scientist to see firsthand the damage plastics are doing to the oceans and our environment we also learn about the history of cargo ships the damage that container shipping does to the ocean and the quest for more energy efficient vessels there is a lot of good material in deep water but i have a couple of complaints all the measurements are in the metric system it would be nice to have had those translated into the english system for the american edition and then bradley is australian and he refers to australian politics assuming the reader understands the reference which was not the case for this american reader if the subject interests you deep water is worth reading but don t expect to be inspired and uplifted be ready when the luck happens posted november 1 2024 author mike christie filed under audiobooks books leave a comment be ready when the luck happens a memoir ina garten read by the author random house audio october 01 2024 8 hours and 47 minutes 19 69 for audible members more for nonmembers purchased with an audible credit if you enjoy ina garten s work either through her cookbooks or her television program or both be ready when the luck happens is a must read or listen although labeled a memoir to me it is more of an autobiography as garten documents her entire life garten writes about her childhood in which she and her brother were treated poorly and never allowed to make their own decisions when she was in high school someone set up a date for her with a dartmouth student that didn t work out but his roommate jeffrey found ina attractive and made sure they met they hit it off and when ina was in college jeffrey decided they needed to get married even though she was only twenty and hence underage for marriage purposes her mother was a difficult person and nearly impossible to please but jeffery charmed both her and ina s father so her mother signed the marriage license we learn about jeffrey s signing up for rotc and his stint in the military the gap between his discharge and his starting graduate school when they spent the summer camping in europe for five dollars a day those of you old enough will remember those famous frommer guides the two of them eventually ended up with government jobs but ina tired of being a policy wonk and when she saw an ad in the new york times offering a specialty foods store for sale in west hampton she made an offer even though she knew nothing about the business garten documents the various iterations of her barefoot contessa shops and her eventual decision to leave that business and write cookbooks her first foray into television was with martha stewart s production company which was a complete disaster an executive at food network liked her work and continued to pursue garten despite her multiple refusals promising a more manageable experience she met with the producers at the production company and liked them she agreed to try thirteen episodes all these years later she is still making new shows jeffrey was a key figure in garten s life every step of the way often providing a rational spin to clarify ina s conflicts when she had to make a decision garten describes jeffrey s career path as he moved from government to investment banking and then on to academia the pandemic led garten to realign and refocus as jeffrey suggested that led her to reframe her television show and resulted in her interview program be my guest as well as this book i can t imagine anyon...
