With a few exceptions, titles touching on Japanese thought prior to the Meiji period have been left out. However, since this bibliography concerns Japanese philosophy in the twentieth century, account has not been taken in the primary sources of titles that deal uniquely with religion, except when under titles of religious sounding an important philosophical content was contained. AbstractĪs is well known, it is traditional in Japan not to draw a clear line of demarcation between philosophy and religion. À quelques exceptions près ont également été laissés de côté les titres touchant la pensée japonaise antérieure à l’époque Meiji. Cependant, étant donné que cette bibliographie porte sur la philosophie japonaise du xxe siècle, il n’a pas été tenu compte dans les sources premières des titres qui concernent la religion uniquement, sauf lorsque sous des titres à consonance religieuse était celé un important contenu philosophique. On sait qu’il est de tradition au Japon de ne pas tracer une ligne de démarcation nette entre philosophie et religion. And alternate history let’s us think about what ELSE could’ve happened. But it isn’t so history has no rational plan. INTERVIEW | Anthony Huso author of The Last PageĪuthors of The Greyfriar: Vampire Empire Book 1Īlternate history is fascinating, whether in fiction or just a parlor game – “What if Napoleon won Waterloo? What if Julius Caesar hadn’t been assassinated? What if the Spanish Armada had won?” Alternate history can be compelling because we all have a tendency to think about history in terms of what historians call determinism, which means we like to think everything HAS to happen the way it does happen.Steampunk: The Spirit of the Time by Mark Hodder.REVIEW | Dreadnought by Cherie Priest (Tor).Writing Steamy Punk – Sex and Sexuality in the Nin.NEWS | A Dance With Dragons is Getting Closer.New York Comic Con: A Photo Essay (w/ Harry Dresde.Exclusive | Cover Unveiled for Camera Obscura by L.REVIEW | Anti-Ice by Stephen Baxter (Eos).Covers Unveiled for Simon Morden's New Series.REVIEW | The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack.Steampunk as Alternate History by Clay and Susan G.REVIEW | The Horns of Ruin by Tim Akers (Pyr).CHARACTER INTERVIEW | Eva Forge from The Horns of.The Old West Brings the Steam by Felix Gilman.As If This Month Wasn't Great Already, Now This!.ART | A Most Amazing Clockwork Woman by Ian Daniels.

Indeed, they start building their lives around it. The Little People see themselves as ‘entitled’ – they feel that they deserve to have the cheese, and that it should always be available for them. In contrast, Hem and Haw struggle to process change they live in blame and denial and are immobilised from taking meaningful action. When the cheese moves, Sniff and Scurry have a proactive approach with their running shoes hung over their necks, they are always ready to quickly leap into action and recommence their search. The book follows Sniff and Scurry (mice) and Hem and Haw (Little People) as they navigate their way through a maze in search of cheese. The theme of change is explored in Who Moved My Cheese? - a short business (and life) parable by Spencer Johnson. Does it excite you, or does it unsettle you? I later moved the whole thing into my novel, china closet and all. I used to babysit the president’s daughter and spent a lot of time in that house. Interestingly, the vice president’s house in Bel Canto was based on an actual house - the president’s house at Sarah Lawrence College. I’ve taken bits and pieces from great houses I’ve been in over my life and run those details together - carved wooden panels, the dining room ceiling, a tiny kitchen in a grand house, the staircase, the ability to see through certain houses. The important thing is that the Dutch House in the book conjures up that feeling. It could have been a museum or a historical home. It may have been someplace you lived or someplace you drove past once. Everyone has a house or houses they think are spectacular. It exists in my imagination and in the reader’s imagination. I hope this covers any questions you might have. We’ve been getting a lot of questions about The Dutch House, more than I can possibly answer individually, so I’ve put together a list of answers. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality.

It’s so well done that I just want to read it over and over again. I very recently wrote a blog post gushing my love for the Ivy Years series by Sarina Bowen, so it should be no surprise that the third book in this series gets an easy A grade from me. The Understatement of the Year by Sarina Bowen (The Ivy Years #3) The musicality and rhymes contained within the text make it a consummate pleasure to read. I just love the painted illustrations as well as the many different kinds of fish Lucy Cousins came up with. You proceed to meet the ele-fish, the twin fin-fin fish, the eye fish, shy fish, fly fish, and sky fish. The story starts with a little orange fish who invites you to come along and meet all his fishy friends. Which is why, with "Poisson D'Avril" right around the corner, I thought it a fitting opportunity to introduce one of my very favourite books, Hooray for Fish by Lucy Cousins. No one is quite sure where this mischievous little tradition came from, but it certainly is a lot of fun! Children all over the country do their best colouring jobs on a sea's worth of multicoloured cardboard creatures, and then have a blast running around sticking their creations to the backs of unsuspecting victims. There is a long standing tradition in France of colouring and cutting out paper fish on the first day of April and sticking them to people's backs as a form of practical joke. What do fish have to do with April Fool's? For the French, everything! Now, I know what you're thinking, and you're not wrong. April Fool's translates to "Poisson D'Avril" in French. Also, read the Appendices to The Lord of the Rings, especially Appendices A and B. Keep in mind that The Hobbit was definitely written for children, and The Lord of the Rings was not.
