Liturgical music belongs in church, not on pop radio, and artists who fuse the two are guilty of sacrilege. Traditionally, west European culture has drawn distinct divisions between the secular and the sacred in music. She looks at Pentecostalism and black secular music, minstrelsy and its portrayal of black religion, the black church, "crossing over" from gospel to R&B, images of the black preacher, and the salience of God in the rap of Tupac Shakur. Reed examines the link between West-African musical and religious culture and the way African Americans convey religious sentiment in styles such as the blues, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, and gangsta rap. Analyzing lyrics and the historical contexts which shaped those lyrics, Teresa L. Winner of the 2004 ARSC Award for Best Research in Recorded Rock, Rhythm & Blues or Soul, The Holy Profane explores the strong presence of religion in the secular music of twentieth-century African American artists as diverse as Rosetta Tharpe, Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Tupac Shakur. The winged figure is unmoved, surrounded by symbols of learning and culture. It’s a recognizable human emotion despite the classical framing. She looks to me as much annoyed as anything else, impatient. How about Melancolia I (1514)? If you haven’t seen it in a while, it’s the one with the winged woman sulking in a pile of symbols, her expression purportedly difficult to parse.

The Ships books change charaters and worlds, but they all do meet again, and it's quite satisfying. Robin has many layers to her writing and there are quite a few gems hidden in the stories. One of the most emailed questions is simply, "What order do I read the books in? There's so many!" A purist would say, read them all!

Thank you and Carry On! ***** The ending to the book is outstanding in its unexpected turn of events. By going through sorrow and joy with Lucy, the reader understands how hurtful and damaging bullying can be, and gains strength to stand up to bullies or stop being one themselves. This book should be required reading for students, parents, and anyone who works with youth. If I Wake delivers a powerful message that will touch the hearts of so many who are being bullied or have been bullied in the past. And each time, Lucy is there to save Will’s life and give up her own. The author brilliantly and consistently carries Lucy’s dream family through history starting in the prehistoric past.Įach time Lucy goes to see Will in her dreams, they don’t recognize her, but she recognizes them. The characters in this book are so real, they could be students walking the halls in any school today. Throughout the book, the reader doesn’t know if Lucy will be alive at the end. Will teaches her about family, faith, bravery, kindness, and love during their adventures in historic events in the distant past. Will comes into her life after a traumatic event and she gets to see him each year on her birthday – but only in her dreams. The only joy in life is her imaginary friend Will. Most of the time she’s alone, with no friends, and no other family except for a mom who’s always at work. She tries to become as invisible as possible and make it through each day. Especially by four mean girls and their friends. Lucy is a girl who gets bullied at school. As the forests and wildlife crumble and disappear, the Lorax, who “speaks for the trees,” pleads for the preservation of his ecosystem. It’s a sobering tale of the avaricious Once-ler, who, seduced by wealth, fells yarn-producing Truffula trees to knit lucrative Thneeds. The fable pits capitalism against biodiversity. The illustrated children’s book, which first hit bookshelves in 1971, is among Seuss’ most famous works and perhaps his most controversial, evoking ire with ecopolitical messaging wrapped in the guise of whimsical rhymes and Seussian charisma. It was at the Safari Club where, on a late summer afternoon, Seuss composed most of the manuscript that would become The Lorax. Among them was none other than Theodor Geisel-better known to most as the American author Dr. Owned by actor William Holden, the Mount Kenya Safari Club frequently played host to Hollywood A-listers luxuriating in exclusive cocktail hours and spontaneous safaris. The adventure began in September of 1970 at a celebrity jet setter’s retreat in a lavish Kenyan country club. Today, in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, scientists unveil a surprising possible inspiration for the stern Seuss stalwart: a mustachioed monkey native to the plains of Central Africa, where the author once vacationed. Seuss’ Lorax, the gruff orange ball of fluff who doggedly guarded his forest of Truffula trees against the greedy Once-ler. That study looked at homosexual rates among 3,826 twins. They cited studies of identical twins, particularly one conducted in 2010 by a team led by psychiatric epidemiologist Niklas Langstrom. In their report, entitled “Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological, Psychological and Social Sciences” published in The New Atlantis, the two researchers surveyed over 200 studies done on the topic in a variety of fields. Mayer has taught at over eight universities including Stanford and Princeton and McHugh served as chief psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins for 25 years and was also elected to the President’s council on bio ethics. Many consider the two men as leading scholars on mental health in America. The report was co-written by Johns Hopkins’ scholar in residence Lawrence Mayer who is also a statistics professor at Arizona State University and Paul McHugh a psychiatry professor at Johns Hopkins. This study runs contrary to what some are suggesting in recent years. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University recently released a study stating there was no conclusive evidence of a gene that causes a person to be gay, lesbian or transgender. Is being gay in our genes? Studies say no. |
