Whereas light, active, male energy forms yin energy, yang energy is formed from dark, passive, female energy. In various Chinese cosmogonic myths, light and dark have a prominent role as essential features and forces of the universe. Hesiod’s Theogony says that “First of all, the Void came into being” and “out of Void came Darkness and black Night, and out of Night came Light and Day.” Even the Big Bang, which originated from our modern mythology of science, is described as an explosion of light. We are told that “the earth was without form, and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” Later, “God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” Ultimately, “God divided the light from the darkness.” So initially, in this telling, darkness and light are connected-if not one-and later divided. For many Western readers the creation of the universe given to us from Christianity is well-known. What looks like a gray wash over the illustrations of the original 1996 edition (which made them look murky) is now gone. The illustrations in this twentieth anniversary edition have been remastered. An African-American boy and his dog head out on cold Saturday mornings (they are always cold) to deliver newspapers in his neighborhood. This Caldecott Honor Book captures the dawn of a new day and the responsibilities of a job that that has almost disappeared in America.

I’m not going to go through the story point by point but I’ll mention the moments that stood out to me and my take on some themes.Įlton beholds the white ship emerge from the south while the moon is full and high. I know I’m on this ride and things are going to get a bit odd before it lets me off. Disturb in the sense of intrigue, on my part. There’s no great conflict but, for me, there was a feeling of being slightly disturbed throughout the work. And more than anything, this short story feels more like an experience. And, it has been awhile since I’ve read Lovecraft’s stories, so I went in with the expectation of being scared but this story was more…eerie.īasil Elton is the narrator, and the story reads as if it is taken from a journal entry retelling events he experienced. The dim orange light from my salt lamp set the mood quite well–only could have been better with a fireplace and a storm howling outside. I read The White Ship late last night while in bed. I was recently gifted his complete works so I’m sure his work will be recurring here frequently. I do really enjoy short stories and Lovecraft has some of my favorites. But with Lovecraft it’s hardly ever as small as you initially think. I decided to start off my first review with a short story–you know, something small. The difficulty of dealing with challenges like Ebola is a reminder of how much state capacity matters in responding to crises.īut why is it some parts of the world have governments that are more or less effective and some don’t? This is, perhaps, still the key question of our time. While this may have much to do with their unfortunate recent histories and the impact of colonialism, the net result has been the same: underachievement and developmental failure. Some parts of the world have been synonymous with poor governance, corruption and state failure for much of their independent existences. Whether it is the seemingly endless conflicts and political upheavals in the Middle East, the return of geopolitics in Europe, the growing strategic tensions in our own region or the inability of governments the world over to satisfy the heightened expectations of their own people, much of the world looks messy and badly governed. It is becoming increasingly commonplace to observe that we live in an era of disorder and instability. Some were highly trained officers, others selfmade strategists or graduates of the “school of forestry,” a Chinese euphemism for banditry. Usually translated into English as “warlords,” junfa were the bane of Republican China. When the wind blows, the grass bends with the wind. Source: US Army Heritage and Educational Center.
We come to see liquids with wonder and fascination, and to understand their potential for death and destruction. We encounter fluids within the plane-from hand soap to liquid crystal display screens-and without: in the volcanoes of Iceland, the frozen expanse of Greenland, and the marvelous California coastline. But do we really understand how much we rely on liquids, or their destructive power? Set on one of the author's transatlantic flights, Liquid Rules offers readers a tour of these formless substances, told through the language of molecules, droplets, heartbeats, and ocean waves. We know that we need water to survive, and that, for some of us, a cup of coffee or a glass of wine can feel just as vital.
