Some of my absolute favorite children books use rhythm and rhyme to make the text fun to read and listen to. Often the modifications are necessary, appropriate, and well done. ![]() ![]() Effort is made to make the prose engaging for children. Vocabulary is simplified, sentences are shorter and less complex. What I mean by that, is that in addition to the content of the book being directed at children, the prose is modified for children as well. Almost all of them are written for children though. Others are entertaining, beautifully illustrated, sweet, fun, or all of those. Some of them aren't very good, to be honest. Books written for children are a mixed bag. ![]() ![]() ![]() I remember ice skating on Beebe Lake and many parties we architecture students had.

As a central symbol of beauty and femininity, Della’s long, brown hair is her most beloved possession, one the narrator compares to the Queen of Sheba’s jewels and gifts. ![]() ![]() Most contemporary perfumes are 'linear' fragrances designed to produce a strong and instantaneous effect, striking the senses all at once and quickly dissipating. It's a critical discourse, in which the author expresses her clear, unabashed views on modern perfumery: It kicks off with a chapter on the legacy of 17th century alchemy, in which the basic premises of natural perfumery are described at length. ![]() We take a closer look at her book Essence and Alchemy, which played a major role in the recent popularization of natural perfumery.Įssence and Alchemy is a practical guide to natural perfumery, which makes it slightly different from the books we've discussed so far.

There’s great use of page layout in the book- poems aren’t all situated on the same place on the page, which drew me to certain poems throughout. Mackenzie’s poems are often short and punchy, and the natural order they’re written in feels less curated than other collections, which I ended up really liking! ![]() Swimming in the Black is a collection split in to five parts, chronicling the different emotions in love and heartbreak.

It's also important not to become angry, no matter how difficult life may seem because you can lose all hope if you can't laugh at yourself and life in general. I have been lucky to work in theoretical physics at a fascinating time and it' s one of the few areas in which my disability was not a serious handicap. So if you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up – there's a way out.Īlthough it was unfortunate to get motor neurone disease, I have been very fortunate in almost everything else. Things can get out of a black hole both on the outside and possibly to another universe. They are not the eternal prisons they were once thought. The message of this lecture is that black holes ain't as black as they are painted. See below that for full transcript of lectures about black holes. The most quoted part of these two lectures is an aside about mental health immediately below. ![]() ![]() 7 January 2016, Royal Institution, London, United Kingdom ![]() |
