Schwartz studied under David Richmond Williams for his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania where he was a predoctoral fellow with National Science Foundation. In particular, he is a critic of the " rational economic man" model in both psychology and economics. His books criticize certain philosophical roots of Western societies and expose underlying myths common in both lay and academic psychological theories. Schwartz's research addresses morality, decision-making and the inter-relationships between behavioral science and society. He frequently publishes editorials in The New York Times, applying his research in psychology to current events. ![]() His work focuses on the intersection of psychology and economics. Schwartz is the Dorwin Cartwright Emeritus Professor of Social Theory and Social Action at Swarthmore College and since 2016 has been visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

Harrison was an extremely popular figure in the SF world, renowned for being amiable, outspoken and endlessly amusing. They're rip-roaring adventures, but they're stories with a lot of heart." Novelist Christopher Priest wrote in an obituary His friend Michael Carroll said of Harrison's work: "Imagine Pirates of the Caribbean or Raiders of the Lost Ark, and picture them as science-fiction novels. Long resident in both Ireland and the United Kingdom, Harrison was involved in the foundation of the Irish Science Fiction Association, and was, with Brian Aldiss, co-president of the Birmingham Science Fiction Group.Īldiss called him "a constant peer and great family friend". The latter was the rough basis for the motion picture Soylent Green (1973). ![]() Harry Max Harrison (born Henry Maxwell Dempsey Ma– August 15, 2012) was an American science fiction author, known mostly for his character The Stainless Steel Rat and for his novel Make Room!

"In both her prose and her visual art, Carrington dissolves the borders between human and inhuman, fantasy and reality, death and life. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The structures of the newly prepared compounds were established on the basis of their FTIR and H1 NMR spectral data. The design and preparation of the structurally reversed analogous compounds to the above compounds were accomplished using the conventional chemical methods by keeping the benzidine moiety of Congo red as the nucleus of the synthesized compounds, doubling the number of the azo groups and inverting the way of their conjugation order with the azomethine groups. The authors of this research deal with the microwave irradiation synthesis of some new Schiff bases derived from the biologically effective and photoactive Congo red.

Another encounter with horror in his early childhood was how he recounted having to walk through a dark underground hallway to reach the toilet in his home, both these examples are reminiscent of the analog horror idea of playing with repressed childhood memories to enhance horror, as it can be seen in Ito’s works. Like Cronenberg and Straub, Ito was inspired to create horror from encounters with it in his childhood, stating that the first manga he ever read was ‘Mummy Teacher’ a horror manga that inspired him to create his own horror works. His work is both a visual feat with intricately crafted ink details, and at the same time uncanny and deeply disturbing. ![]() One of the most prolific cosmic horror and body horror artists is the award-winning mangaka Junji Ito. ![]() ![]() ![]() Regular socials will continue, please get in touch with the committee if you have any questions about the next one.

Lepore comments in her conclusion that simplistic, feel-good accounts of our past undermine and belittle “the American experiment, making it … a daffy, reassuring bedtime story.” These Truths is just the opposite. In keeping with its title, it’s the most honest account of the American story I’ve ever read, and one of the most beautifully written. The book covers centuries of history in its 800 pages, so Lepore can offer only quick glimpses at major events such as America’s first presidential impeachment (only three sentences) and doesn’t even get a chance to mention pivotal figures such as Lewis and Clark.īut with the exception of a brief section covering the past 20 years (more on this below), I loved the book and hope lots of people read it. These Truths: A History of the United States, by the Harvard historian and New Yorker contributor Jill Lepore, is not a deep or comprehensive account of individual events or people. I never get tired of looking closely at seminal events, such as the Vietnam War, and figures I admire, such as the global heath hero Jim Grant. ![]() Over the years, I’ve read a lot of books about history, especially American history. ![]() ![]() ![]() After taunting the young boy, Rawlins challenges him to prove his shot and must eat his words and accept his company when Bevins blows a hole through the middle of Rawlin's airborne wallet.īevins does cause trouble when he's falsely accused of horse stealing and the threesome part ways.
