![]() Each head watched, waiting, hungry, insane. He had the seven-headed dog faces of an ancient Cerberus. He was a dragon, squat and round in the torso, tapered ropy tail tucked under his body the small, thick osseous shields rising perpendicularly from the arched back, running down to the end of the tail, tips pointing upwards his taloned shorter arms folded across his massive chest. On the mauve level, crouched down in deeper magenta washings that concealed his arched form, the maniac waited. Who is The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World? The great psychedelic era… Great mind-bending ideas… ![]() "The Beast that Shouted Love at the Heart of the World" It is the beast of our savage past, hungering today, and waiting patiently for the mortal meal of all our golden tomorrows. It has never heard music, and shows its fangs when we panic. It waited for our coming and it will abide long after we have become congealed smoke. But when it breathes again we go down in fire and mate with jackals. When it sleeps we know a few moments of peace. It feasts on darkness from the minds of men. It beheaded mercy to take possession of that place. Only the riddle of which terrible dream will set it loose. ![]() ![]() "It crouches near the center of creation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As Western civilization attains new heights of scientific awareness and technological skill, is it also blind to its own limits, doomed to destroy itself like the lost civilizations of the ancients or other “spore-bearers” in our evolutionary past? Eiseley makes an urgent, environmentalist plea in these essays: we must protect the planet from which we emerged against our unchecked power to overpopulate and pollute and consume it. After decades of fieldwork and discovery as a “bone-hunter” and professor, Eiseley turned late in life to the personal essay, and beginning with the surprise million-copy seller The Immense Journey (1957) he produced an astonishing succession of books that won acclaim both as science and as art. Now for the first time, the Library of America presents his landmark essay collections in a definitive two-volume set.This second volume begins with The Invisible Pyramid (1970), a book of meditations on the origins and possible futures of humankind set against the backdrop of the Apollo 11 landings. An eminent paleontologist with the soul and skill of a poet, Loren Eiseley (1907–1977) was among the twentieth century’s greatest inheritors of the literary tradition of Henry David Thoreau, Charles Darwin, and John Muir, and a precursor to such later writers as Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Dawkins, and Carl Sagan. ![]() ![]() 119 West 40th Street New York, NY 10018Īll rights reserved.

Thanks to SciFi Month this past November I felt the need to add more SF books to my reading queue, and a quick peek at my ever-growing “wanted” list reminded me of this novel that had looked very intriguing when I saw it mentioned online. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There is blood here and vigor, love and hate, irony and compassion.

![]() ![]() In the climactic scene, Pen looks the Bastard in the eyes and commits himself to her (and him) for life. By the time Clee and his brother are trying to kill him, Pen reacts to the news that a demon jumps from a dying rider before he dies by mourning that he is to be unbetrothed twice before he dies-Desdemona has come to mean more to him than his own life. Over subsequent scenes, as they get to know each other better, we watch the trust and affection between them grow. ![]() Pen is unwilling even to masturbate with her watching, which means he takes a vow of chastity during their courtship. When he names Desdemona, he describes it as a "courting gift," and she accepts it as such. Pen, en route to a betrothal to a girl he barely knows, ends up "betrothed" to a demon far, far older than he is. It begins with their unorthodox betrothal and ends with their even more unorthodox wedding. Review: 2015.592 ( A Word for Authors) Pro: The story recounts Penric's courtship of the demon, Desdemona. ![]() ![]() Schlüsselpassagen werden im close reading rhetorisch und narratologisch verglichen. Da beide Texte auf der gleichen Periode der Feldforschung auf den Trobriand-Inseln in Papua-Neuguinea (1914–1918) beruhen, ermöglichen sie eine vergleichende Versuchsanordnung: Wie unterscheiden sich die Darstellungen der Emotionen des Forschers? Werden im Tagebuch Emotionen verhandelt, die aus der Monografie ,verdrängt‘ wurden? Gibt es umgekehrt Emotionen, die in der Monografie einen größeren Raum einnehmen? Und wie verhalten sich die Darstellung eigener Emotionen, die Darstellung der Emotionen anderer und die Wirkabsicht der Texte zueinander? Die Studie verbindet quantitative und qualitative Verfahren und verfolgt damit ein methodologisches Interesse: Das Vokabular wird anhand von Emotionsdiktionären digital ausgewertet. Die Publikation seines Tagebuches löste jedoch einen Skandal aus, weil seine Einträge dem Ideal des empathischen Beobachters zu widersprechen schienen. ![]() Mit der teilnehmenden Beobachtung begründete Malinowski einen Forschungsstil, der die Forschenden in die Lebenswelt der Beforschten auch emotional involvierte. Welche Rolle spielen Emotionen in der Ethnografie? Zwei Texte von Bronisław Malinowski (1884–1942) werden einer kontrastiven Analyse unterzogen: sein postum herausgegebenes Tagebuch, A Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term (1967), und seine wissenschaftliche Monografie, Argonauts of the Western Pacific (1922). ![]() ![]() ![]() More importantly, there is no mention of Karen Page, Matt Murdock’s original love interest, in The Man Without Fear. Everything important from The Man Without Fear, which was written in the 90’s, was originally told by flashbacks in Miller’s 70’s-80’s Daredevil run. I know some might crucify me for choosing Jeph Loeb over the definitive Daredevil writer, but when reading Daredevil from a chronological perspective Yellow is simply a smarter choice. There are two accepted origin stories for Daredevil: Daredevil: The Man Without Fear by Frank Miller and Daredevil: Yell ow by Jeph Loeb. Follow the jump and find out what trades you should read to follow the career of everyone’s favorite Man Without Fear. Matt Murdock is one of Marvel’s most intriguing characters, but the title once came dangerously close to being canceled, an action which would have robbed us of years of great stories. ![]() Despite the terrible, terrible movie of 2003, Daredevil has long been one of the best titles Marvel has been publishing. ![]() |
