![]() ![]() His surviving writings include nearly 40 plays and over 150 sonnets, and his body of work is widely performed, analyzed, studied, and reinterpreted to this day. Shakespeare died in 1616 of a rumored “fever” just a month after creating a will in which he declared himself to be in good health. In 1609, he published a book of sonnets, and released other long poems in the mid-1590s when London’s theaters were closed due to the plague. His theatrical career likely began in the mid-1580s, and between then and 1613, he composed such works as Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, The Henriad, Julius Caesar, Othello, and many more. There is a gap in the historical record between the birth of Shakespeare’s twins and his first recorded appearance on the London theater scene in 1592. ![]() She later bore two more children-one of whom, Hamnet, died at the age of 11. ![]() At 18, Shakespeare wed a woman eight years his senior, Anne Hathaway just six months after their marriage, Hathaway gave birth to a daughter.

![]() ![]() Initially a moderate success, the series' ratings began to fall during its second season, causing Marshall to retool it. The first two seasons of Happy Days focused on the experiences and dilemmas of "innocent teenager" Richie Cunningham, his family, and his high school friends, attempting to "honestly depict a wistful look back at adolescence". Based on the pilot, director George Lucas cast Howard as the lead in his 1973 film American Graffiti, causing ABC to take a renewed interest in the pilot. The series began as an unsold pilot starring Howard, Ross and Anson Williams, which aired in 1972 as a segment titled "Love and the Television Set" (later retitled "Love and the Happy Days" for syndication) on ABC's anthology show Love, American Style. Although it opened to mixed reviews from critics, Happy Days became successful and popular over time. ![]() The series presented an idealized vision of life in the 1950s and early 1960s Midwestern United States, and it starred Ron Howard as Richie Cunningham, Henry Winkler as his friend Fonzie, and Tom Bosley and Marion Ross as Richie's parents, Howard and Marion Cunningham. Created by Garry Marshall, it was one of the most successful series of the 1970s. ![]() Happy Days is an American television sitcom that aired first-run on the ABC network from January 15, 1974, to July 19, 1984, with a total of 255 half-hour episodes spanning 11 seasons. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the first edition of McMurtry's acclaimed first novel, published when the author was just 25 years old. ![]() Jacket edges, corners, and head and tail of spine a little worn and chipped, a couple of very light stains, but overall in very nice condition and with no major condition issues.

Her fortunes have drastically improved since her mother’s death, her third marriage and her child’s recovery. Shapiro became a student of life’s fragility, the inevitability of loss. Then a car crash, in which her father was killed and her mother broke 80 bones, altered her life forever. She rebelled, drank too much, dropped out of college, became mistress to her best friend’s stepfather, a wealthy married lawyer, in a spectacularly ill-advised affair. Shapiro often felt like the black sheep - or, as she puts it, the “blond sheep” - in her own home. Her observant father became addicted to painkillers her mother resented her faith and seethed with rage, much of it directed at Dani. She grew up in a tense Orthodox Jewish household where her parents were deeply divided about religion. In her absorbing novels, articles and well-received 1998 memoir, “Slow Motion,” Shapiro has written movingly about the tragedies that shaped her life. She has the acclaim she’s sought for years, a Connecticut home straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie and, in her mid-40s, a delicate, undiminished beauty. ![]() Her son, who suffered from a rare and life-threatening seizure disorder, is fine at 10, saved by early medical intervention and his parents’ unstinting care. After two failed marriages, she has a husband she adores. ![]() Dani Shapiro has a problem: Things are going really well. ![]() ![]() Kiku Hughes weaves a riveting, bittersweet tale that highlights the intergenerational impact and power of memory.

In Displacement, Hughes uses science fiction to talk about communal trauma and personal history, tying together the past, present, and future in a way that science fiction can do well, all in an effort to get at the emotional truth of her grandmother’s life and story and what it means for her and all of us today. ![]() These displacements keep occurring until Kiku finds herself "stuck" back in time. Kiku is on vacation in San Francisco when suddenly she finds herself displaced to the 1940s Japanese-American internment camp that her late grandmother, Ernestina, was forcibly relocated to during World War II. A teenager is pulled back in time to witness her grandmother's experiences in World War II-era Japanese internment camps in Displacement, a historical graphic novel from Kiku Hughes. ![]() ![]() ![]() A phone call out of nowhere summons her back to Sydney, where her beloved grandmother Nora, who raised Jess when her mother could not, has suffered a fall and is seriously ill in the hospital.Īt Nora’s house, Jess discovers a true crime book chronicling a long-buried police case: the Turner Family Tragedy of 1959.

![]() Otherwise, this book was great! It’s a 5 star read, just not edited that way right now. It’s not a big deal, and it doesn’t by any means ruin the book, but it just wanted edited to 5 star standards.

The leading paradigm in the social sciences is homo economicus-economic man. Fatalism, or the belief that the future is fixed whatever we do, is a purely philosophical belief, but is one that can paralyze action. If your reflections lead you to believe in a life after death, you may be prepared to face persecutions that you would not face if you became convinced-as many philosophers are-that the notion makes no sense. How you think about what you are doing affects how you do it, or whether you do it at all. So here is a middle-ground reply-Reflection matters because it is continuous with practice. The problem with it is not that it is wrong. And our mental health is just good in itself, like our physical health. It is the time in which we cosset our mental health. The time we take out, whether it is to do mathematics or music, or to read Plato or Jane Austen, is time to be cherished. A lot of life is indeed a matter of raising more hogs, to buy more land, so we can raise more hogs, so that we earn buy more land. ![]() There is no eye on any practical applications. Why not just toss the reflective questions aside, and get on with other things? The kinds of answers: high ground, middle ground, and low ground: The high ground questions the question. ![]() |
