![]() ![]() In systematically applying the modern theory of natural selection to human society, he arrives at conclusions far removed from the social Darwinist legacy of the last century. Wilson presents a philosophy that cuts across the usual categories of conservative, liberal, or radical thought. His goal is nothing less than the completion of the Darwinian revolution by bringing biological thought into the center of the social sciences and the humanities. He shows how.evolution has left its traces on the most distinctively human activities, how patterns of generosity, self-sacrifice, and worship, as well as sexuality and aggression, reveal their deep roots in the life histories of primate bands that hunted big game in the last Ice Age. With characteristic pungency and simplicity of style, the author of Sociobiology challenges old prejudices and current misconceptions about the nature-nurture debate. On Human Nature, Revised Edition, begins a new phase in the most important intellectual controversy of this generation: Is human behavior controlled by the species' biological heritage? Does this heritage limit human destiny? No one who cares about the human future can afford to ignore Edward O. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Shameless Puckboy by Eden Finley![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I can’t have him and my career, and if rumors of the professional lines I’ve crossed get out, it’s not only my dream job I can kiss goodbye I’ll be disgraced from professional sports completely. The one who hurts, the one who’s sensitive and kind, the one … the one I think I’m falling for. Only, the more entangled our lives become, the more I see the Oskar he’s buried deep down. I have free rein to do whatever it takes, and it turns out whatever it takes is Oskar. If I can’t turn Oskar’s entitled party boy image around, we’ll both be shown the door. He may be San Jose royalty, but with the stunts Oskar’s been pulling, the team owner is down to his last thread of patience. My career, my future, and maybe even my heart.īeing appointed head of San Jose’s PR department was a dream come true … until I met Oskar Voyjik. ![]() The more I push back, the more I realize what’s really on the line. He has designated himself as my babysitter, and while it’s fun messing with him, being bound by curfews and rules has never worked for me. I’ve got Lane’s sole focus now in all the wrong ways. It might have been a stunt to get the attention of Lane Pierce, San Jose’s new PR manager, but I didn’t realize what the consequences would be when I did it.

Anyways, I knew all the APTBS guys pretty well, especially the drummer Jay. When we got back to Brooklyn, I'd already decided I'd had enough of that. I'd just got back from New Zealand where I'd managed to get a band called True Lovers on the Big Day Out. Could you walk us through the back-story here?ĭion Lunadon: I was in New York, struggling as you do. Noisey: In 2010, you took up a full-time position as the bassist for A Place To Bury Strangers. Read on for a chat with Dion about A Place To Bury Strangers, New York, refusing to go soft, doing his own thing, and more. On June 9 he will release his self-titled debut album through Agitated Records, in the lead-up, we're premiering his new single "Move". As of late, Dion has been thrashing out his own fiercely unapologetic and energized take on noise rock, one informed by the fuzzy Auckland garage bands he grew up around, and the visceral potential offered by post-punk. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments The Mars Strain by A.C. Anderson![]() ![]() ![]() In this and a companion paper (Draper and van Westrenen this issue) we derive new predictive equations for the ideal ionic radius of the dodecahedral garnet X-site, r 0(3+), its apparent Young’s modulus E X(3+), and the strain-free partition coefficient D 0(3+) for a fictive REE element J of ionic radius r 0(3+). ![]() Our approach is based on the interpretation of experimentally determined values of partition coefficients D using lattice-strain theory. In this contribution, we present new crystal-chemical and thermodynamic constraints on the partitioning of rare earth elements (REE), Y and Sc between garnet and anhydrous silicate melt as a function of pressure ( P), temperature ( T), and composition ( X). As a result, quantitative descriptions of mid-ocean ridge and hot spot magmatism, and lunar, martian, and terrestrial magma oceans require knowledge of garnet-melt partition coefficients over a wide range of conditions. Many geochemical models of major igneous differentiation events on the Earth, the Moon, and Mars invoke the presence of garnet or its high-pressure majoritic equivalent as a residual phase, based on its ability to fractionate critical trace element pairs (Lu/Hf, U/Th, heavy REE/light REE). ![]() ![]() ![]()

Canongate has busied itself for some years commissioning contemporary writers, well-established and less so, to rewrite and reshape touchstones from the mythoi of wildly divergent cultures. Such an illustrious pedigree-alongside Joyce writers from Cervantes to Flaubert to Kafka-does not, however, mean that any attempt to produce works in this vein is necessarily praiseworthy. What is the Aeneid if not a re-imagining of the Homeric epics? What is The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha if not a perverse and sophisticated re-furbishing of knightly legends Celtic, Gallic, and Iberian? That such refashionings have played an unignorable role in literary modernity is more or less beyond dispute-one need point only to the 20th century most titanic work of mythmaking, Ulysses, as evidence. ![]() The impulse to reshape the myths we inherit is as old as literary culture itself. ![]() ![]() ![]() But as Hannah and Isaac slowly grow closer, they realize that there’s always more to someone than meets the eye. ![]() However, he also understands the importance of being grateful for God’s gifts, and wonders if they will ever have anything in common.

She wonders if she'll ever return to the trusting, easy-going woman she once was. Hannah has become afraid to trust anyone-even Isaac, the friendly Amish man who lives next door. Now she’s getting a fresh start in Hart County, Kentucky…if only she wasn’t too scared to take it. ![]() After a stalker went too far, Hannah Hilty and her family had no choice but to leave the bustling Amish community where she grew up.
