We may resent the plutocrats of Wall Street but, as Ferguson argues, the evolution of finance has rivaled the importance of any technological innovation in the rise of civilization. The Ascent of Money reveals finance as the backbone of history, casting a new light on familiar events: the Renaissance enabled by Italian foreign exchange dealers, the French Revolution traced back to a stock market bubble, the 2008 crisis traced from America’s bankruptcy capital, Memphis, to China’s boomtown, Chongqing. In this updated edition, Niall Ferguson brings his classic financial history of the world up to the present day, tackling the populist backlash that followed the 2008 crisis, the descent of “Chimerica” into a trade war, and the advent of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, with his signature clarity and expert lens. THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, WITH NEW CHAPTERS Sam doesn’t plan to fall for anyone in the weeks before his birthday. The Weyward family has been haunted by a curse for generations-if a Weyward falls in love before their seventeenth birthday, the person they love dies. “I’m pretty sure I’m the only guy in my school who can replace a faulty kick-down switch and also create the perfect smoky eye.” Grimaldi's book was little known, but his experiments were popularized in Fabri's Dialogi Physici (1669), which found its way into Newton's hands in 1672, when Collins sent him a copy, see Hall's Beyond the Fringe: Diffraction as seen by Grimaldi, Fabri, Hooke and Newton. But in a second experiment he put the cone through a second small hole, and observed what is now called "single slit" diffraction, see Crosswell, Diffraction: the first recorded observation. In the more commonly cited experiment he placed a sharp knife into the cone of light passed into a dark room through a small hole, and observed knife's anomalously wide shadow along with the colored bands which he called seriae lucidae. The discovery of diffraction and the introduction of the term are due to Grimaldi, specifically his Physico-Mathesis de Lumine posthumously published in Bologna in 1665. Fresnel explained the near-field pattern before him, in 1815, but he was not the discoverer either. Fraunhofer is credited not with discovering the single slit diffraction, but with explaining the far-field diffraction pattern from a single slit. "I'm homesick," Sandy says at the book's close. There are still large and teeming families, newfound friendships and painstakingly carved alliances. And even the new world-populated with beautiful, blushworthy seraphim-is not all that unfamiliar. They casually welcome you into L'Engle's extraordinary tale: shifting time and space, awkward youth performing slightly less awkward acts of heroism. But they are grounded in reality in a relieving way. They finish each other's sentences and stumble into adventure almost as an afterthought. Sandy and Dennys are particularly magical twins. The ability to anchor the extraordinary within the commonplace is what I've always admired in the Time Quintet, and what really shines in Many Waters. I point an accusatory finger at Madeleine L'Engle and Many Waters for this desperate longing for a twin, just as I blame L'Engle for equally desiring a boy to admire both my bravery and my moon-boat eyes. There seemed to be a particular magic in seeing your own face outside of a mirror-passing back and forth secrets and deeply held sorrows with the warmth of shared confidences and determined unity. For February, Karuna Riazi (The Gauntlet ) revisits Many Waters : In the months leading up to the release of the A Wrinkle in Time movie, we're asking authors of middle grade and young adult to revisit a title in Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quintet.

Widely disliked for how he ran the Leafs and his misogynist, racist and homophobic outbursts, “Offside” executive producer Michael Geddes said he believes it’s important for people to remember Ballard as a cautionary tale. The 90-minute documentary follows Ballard’s rise to power in the late 1960s, the controversies that swirled around him in the 1970s, and then his sharp physical decline in the 1980s before his death in 1990. “Because for me as a filmmaker, to make that determination for them I felt was irresponsible.” “I felt like the most responsible thing to do was to lay out all the information that I got from all of these people, and let the audience make their own determinations about who they thought Harold Ballard was and why he did the things that he did,” said Priestley. Priestley said that as he researched Ballard and interviewed former Maple Leafs and sports reporters from Toronto, he was struck by how everyone had a different take on the irascible sports magnate who also owned the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Priestley is the narrator and director of “Offside: the Harold Ballard Story,” which will make its CBC debut Sunday at 8 p.m. TORONTO - Jason Priestley wants Canadians to draw their own conclusions about Harold Ballard, the controversial former owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Widely read, widely anthologized, widely interviewed, and widely taught, Adrienne Rich (1929–2012) was for decades among the most influential writers of the feminist movement and one of the best-known American public intellectuals. The study of history has an important role to play in helping us to decipher and respond to the present situation by understanding its roots and development in the past, with the hope of constructing a better future. 11, we have been obliged, suddenly and dramatically, to re-examine our image of, attitudes toward, and relations with the Muslim and non-Christian Eastern world in order to understand why the tragic events of that day occurred. This new edition of the fascinating account by a medieval Franciscan friar, Odoric of Pordenone, of his journeys through the Middle and Far East (modern-day Turkey, Iran, Iraq, India, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Vietnam and China) comes at an appropriate moment in our national life.
