![]() So I knew there would be some similarities. Now: yes, I am aware that both books started out as Reylo fanfic (but I like to keep an open mind!). I kept thinking, “Have I read this before?” There were so, so many scenes, moments, and plot points that were almost the exact same as The Love Hypothesis. That being said, I got major déjà vu when reading this book. Like its predecessor, Love on the Brain contains so much interesting science talk (as well as a focus on neuroscience) and you can tell Hazelwood knows what she’s talking about. And I have to admit…I’m a little baffled. Needless to say, I picked up Love on the Brain. The writing was easy and accessible and the story was funny and heartwarming. ![]() ![]() ![]() I read The Love Hypothesis earlier this year and was pleasantly surprised. Since I’m unfortunately recovering from lung surgery, I decided that continuing with my rom com binge and sticking to more lighthearted reads might be a good idea. ![]()

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc ISBN: 9781628922868 Number of pages: 152 Weight: 144 g Dimensions: 165 x 121 x 15 mm MEDIA REVIEWS ![]() Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic. From Hittites to hippies and Pentecostals to porn stars, Hair combs through a ubiquitous personal yet public object, a charged and carefully managed dead thing. In untangling its myriad meanings, Scott Lowe reveals just how little we control our hair, no matter the style: each and every passer-by decides on its significance anew. The meanings of hair are deep, powerful, and so strongly embedded in cultural conditioning that they are usually understood unconsciously (and all the more strongly for that). Hair, a primary marker of our mammalian nature, is an extraordinary indicator of economic and social standing, political orientation, religious affiliation, marital status, and cultural leanings, among other things. Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But in LA, there was no dress code at her public school.

Written in accessible language, and organized by era, text excerpts can be easily pulled from it for high school classrooms. The “unspoken truth” of the subtitle of Carol Anderson’s White Rage is that the dominant narrative of uninterrupted, albeit slow, racial progress is false.Īnderson’s book looks at five major historical episodes of Black advancement and shows, in painstaking and unimpeachable detail, how an enormous “array of policy assaults and legal contortions” - as well as brute force - “has punished Black resilience, Black resolve.”įrom Reconstruction to the election of the first Black president, Black progress has always been met with a white rage that seeks to undo, reverse, and roll-back full citizenship for African Americans. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hardy revised the text extensively for the 1895 edition and made further changes for the 1901 edition. On publication, critical notices were plentiful and mostly positive. It describes the life and relationships of Bathsheba Everdene with her lonely neighbour William Boldwood, the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak, and the thriftless soldier Sergeant Troy. It deals in themes of love, honour and betrayal, against a backdrop of the seemingly idyllic, but often harsh, realities of a farming community in Victorian England. The novel is set in Thomas Hardy's Wessex in rural southwest England, as had been his earlier Under the Greenwood Tree. It originally appeared anonymously as a monthly serial in Cornhill Magazine, where it gained a wide readership. 464 pages (Harper & Brothers edition, 1912)įar from the Madding Crowd (1874) is Thomas Hardy's fourth novel and his first major literary success. ![]() ![]() ![]() Part of what makes this book so remarkable - and its dubious hero so compelling - is the almost invisible ease with which Cohen's threads intertwine to create a larger pattern that seems so obvious once you step back to see it. The Fish That Ate the Whale spans the transition from Old-World business to New-: from privateer adventurers seeking fortunes in remote frontiers, to buccaneers of high finance and wars fought with media, no-bid contracts, and necessary illusions. Whether you know him as El Amigo, the Banana Man, the Gringo, or simply Z - whether you even know him at all - Sam Zemurray lived one of the greatest untold American stories of the last hundred years.Ī tough, uneducated Russian Jew who found himself and his fortune in turn-of-the-century New Orleans, Zemurray built a fruit-selling empire hustling rotting fruit to market to eke out the slimmest profit, to eventually become a backchannel kingmaker and capitalist revolutionary.
