It is a little different than many other pioneer dresses for sale in that it is short, and has something of a ruffle on the shoulder and comes with a petticoat, so it seems reasonable to me when I look at the illustrations in the book. I got her a dress that is generic prairie/pioneer that she seems to think fits the bill. The point is she wants to dress up like a girl in 1910 Wisconsin or wherever that series is set.

There is a company called Kronecker Wallis that recently completed the entire works here:ĭo keep in mind that it is an expensive book, exceeding that of a modern textbook. Sister Miriam Joseph views this theory of composition as integral to Shakespeares mastery of language. The issue of gender and language occasioned several discussions. Hello all I discovered this subreddit while on the pursuit for more knowledge. The issue here is that Byrne only did the first six books and stopped after that. Here is a free web-version that is interactive: The addition of color makes this book extremely accessible and feel like a modern Geometry book. What makes this one so interesting is his use of colors in illustrating the concepts, making the entire experience much more intuitive and more ideal for anyone that is younger or self-teaching. The book I recommend is Oliver Byrne's version of Euclid's Elements. I know that this thread is a little old but I thought I might add an obscure version of Euclid's Elements that is sometimes referred to as 'Euclid in Colours".

Frequently left out of that conversation, though, are domestic workers, whose labor is often rendered invisible, while a parallel conversation has been going on about the ways that we, as a society, have ignored the experiences of mothers trying to navigate work and family responsibilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.Īuthor Angela Garbes’s new book, Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change, deftly and empathetically analyzes the experiences of mothers and caregivers during COVID-19 and long before, interspersing her own experience as the mother of two small children and the daughter of Filipino immigrants with a rigorous examination of precisely why and how the work of women-and women of color in particular-is systematically devalued. We’ve been living through a sea change in how organized labor is discussed, with workers from Starbucks, Amazon, and other major companies demanding that their employers value and fairly compensate the labor that they perform.

Its extreme contagiousness, with room to run freely through the tens of millions of Americans who haven't been vaccinated and millions more who have no access to vaccines in developing countries, has good odds of turning into something even more troublesome. Delta has already shown how much worse things can get. The odds are not high that we will see such a triple threat, but experts can't rule it out. But it's a good time to wonder: Just how destructive can these variants get? Will future variants expand their attack from the lungs to the brain, the heart and other organs? Will they take a page from HIV and trick people into thinking they've recovered, only to make them sick later? Is there a Doomsday variant out there that shrugs off vaccines, spreads like wildfire and leaves more of its victims much sicker than anything we've yet seen?

Twenty-five years after its publication, Midnight’ s Children stands apart as both an epochal work of fiction and a brilliant performance by one of the great literary voices of our time. This novel is at once a fascinating family saga and an astonishing evocation of a vast land and its people–a brilliant incarnation of the universal human comedy. Perhaps most remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him with India’s 1,000 other “midnight’s children,” all born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts.
