Nine Nations - (USA)
If you're looking for a post on political candidates, veeps or conventions, you'll have to go elsewhere. I'm a bit burnt out on politics. With so much coverage being devoted to the imminent Democratic Convention (this year in Denver, the capital of The Empty Quarter -- a reference made clearer in this post), I'm considering today to be a bit of a breather.* * * * * * * * * *I stumbled on a reference to the map below while thinking about EProf's ideas on how the U.S. might more effectively handle

Looking for Czech and Slovak Books? (Hledate Ceske a Slovenske Knihy?) - (USA)
Clanek v CESTINE dole. It is hard to live abroad and speak a second language. We do speak English at home but sometimes we just miss watching Czech and Slovak movies or reading books and periodicals that our family members bring over during their visits. We were also very happy when we found out that we could also find some very priceless pieces of Czechoslovak history right here in the United States. One of the places where you can find Czech and Slovak publications is The University of

So the exciting news is that Jen Hadfield has won the TS Eliot Prize! The youngest shortlistee, as a friend pointed out in the foyer at the reading, by a good twenty years (and shorter than most by almost a foot), shortlisted for only her second book.I can’t say much about the book because (urg) it is one of the ones I have alas… not yet read. (Sorry Jen.) (The Baroque reading list is much bigger than the Baroque brain and also bigger than both the Baroque pocket - currently non-earning - and B

“Debunking the Myths” on Baha’is - (USA)
Conspiracy theories are popular in this region for a good reason: they allow us to perceive ourselves as powerless victims and blame our shortcomings and insecurities on others. For decades, Baha’is have been painted as the enemy within, plotting and conspiring to harm their nations and act against its interests. In order to confront these allegations, 18 year old Adib Masumian wrote a book titled, “ Debunking the Myths ” in which he analyzes and refutes the accusations made against the Baha’i

13 Point Checklist updated - (USA)
If one dog year is equal to four human years, then one Internet year is equal to at least ten human years. Let's face it - information simply ages more rapidly online. That makes my little checklist below about 70 Internet years old, since the original 1996 "12 Point Checklist" was last updated in 2002 for an article in Principle Magazine , Getting the Most Out of Your School Library Media Program . At a recent meeting, I caught flack for "not keeping stuff up-to-date." Guilty. Here

Traumafessions :: Reader Bigwig on Struwwelpeter - (USA)
I grew up in Pennsylvania German country just outside the influence of the Amish. We visited my grandparents, a stoic, Dutch farming couple with heavy Pennsylvania Dutch accents, weekly on a Sunday, along with other cousins, just enough to get a taste of the quiet farming life. We were mesmerized, yet horrified by a short book called “Struwwelpeter” that was stuffed into the bookcase, next to dusty Farmer’s Almanacs, and antiquated encyclopedias. It was pronounced by my Grandmother as “Schtri

Jonathan Lyons on the Islamic resolution of science and monotheism - (USA)
Jonathan Lyons was a correspondent for Reuters for 21 years, the first American national to be based in Tehran after the revolution. He and his wife both wrote from Tehran, and between them, they published in Reuters, the Guardian, the Economist, and the International Herald Tribune, which made them very visible targets for the regime. He tells us about talking to an ayatollah in Qom. He realized was receiving what might be the last vestige of an Aristotelian education in rhetoric and logic f

Consult thy Fashion Almanac - (USA)
You say "Almanac" and I think medieval astrology charts but the real broken down meaning of the word is... almanac n. A reference book, usually annual, composed of various lists, tables, and often brief articles relating to a particular field or many general fields. Laura Bradley, who now works at SHOWstudio combined her own fascination with almanacs and fashion for the final year of her BA at CSM in Fashion Communication with Promotion and produced a prototype for a magazine that I could

The History of Western Astrology - (USA)
I made a video today which outlines the history of western astrology in 10 minutes. It is ten minutes long because that is the restriction for all YouTube videos, although I covered quite a bit of ground in such a short clip. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, although I was surprised that I was able to pull it off in only one take. You can watch the video from YouTube above. What follows is simply a transcript of the video, with only a few slight emendations. A History of Wester
