For poems, pies, and other tasty treats, visit. Kate Lebo Kate Lebo makes poems and pies in Seattle, Washington. Her writing has appeared in Best New Poets, Gastronomica, and Poetry Northwest among other journals, and she's currently at work on a pie cookbook for Sasquatch Books, forthcoming in 2014. She teaches creative writing at Richard Hugo House and pie making at Pie School, her cliche-busting pastry academy. It's sweetness, snark, and sincere contemplation all mixed with a secret ingredient. *Check out the newly released book trailer for ACBOP: The book includes two dozen watercolors and illustrations by artist Jessica Lynn Bonin that put pie and baking in a contemporary, feminist context. Lebo calls the book "a collection of facts, both real and imagined, about pie." A mix of prose poems, recipes, fantasy zodiac, and ephemera balance Lebo’s technical baker know-how with lyrical ruminations on the real and imagined relationships between pie and those who love it. Poet and baker Kate Lebo takes her cue from Carl Sagan's quote to reinterpret everything we thought we knew about pie. "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe."-Carl Sagan His theorizing is bold and simple and hugely important if correct. Piketty provides an elegant framework for making sense of a complex reality. 01 percent of the population-has risen sharply over the last generation, marking a return to a pattern that prevailed before World War I… Even if none of Piketty’s theories stands up, the establishment of this fact has transformed political discourse and is a Nobel Prize–worthy contribution. Like Kennedy a generation ago, Piketty has emerged as a rock star of the policy-intellectual world… But make no mistake, his work richly deserves all the attention it is receiving… Piketty, in collaboration with others, has spent more than a decade mining huge quantities of data spanning centuries and many countries to document, absolutely conclusively, that the share of income and wealth going to those at the very top-the top 1 percent. Piketty’s treatment of inequality is perfectly matched to its moment. Or has Vesper, the mighty Republic to the North finally woken from its slumber? It has plenty of old scores to settle with Innocence’s City.įor Innocence, squashing the uprising could be the perfect way to end the most legendary military career Castillia has ever witnessed and begin a new, exhilarating life as a prominent politician. In fact, the exotic city used to belong to Ausonia and they have always wanted it back.īut could they really organize such a revolt between all their dancing and drinking? Sedition is an old trick the southern Republic, Ausonia, with its towering obsidian pyramids, is typically fond of. When a minor incident of insubordination at an exotic vacation city turns out to be the first tremors of a revolution, Castillia turns to its eleven-year old military prodigy Innocence and her loyal Guardians for help.Ĭastillia has enemies, that’s for sure. Ok so I might be a little biased on this entry but if you enjoyed the Maze Runner I guarantee you are going to love this dystopian novel. Since at least the 1990s, these terrorist incidents have occurred on a global scale, affecting not only Muslim-majority countries in Africa and Asia, but also Russia, Australia, Canada, Israel, India, the United States, China, the Philippines, Thailand, and countries within Europe. The annual number of fatalities from terrorist attacks grew sharply from 2011 to 2014 when it reached a peak of 33,438, before declining to 13,826 in 2019. Incidents and fatalities from Islamic terrorism have been concentrated in eight Muslim-majority countries ( Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, and Syria), while four Islamic extremist groups ( Islamic State, Boko Haram, the Taliban, and al-Qaeda) were responsible for 74% of all deaths from terrorism in 2015.

Until, that is, a bestselling author is poisoned in the middle of a panel. Between the rabid fans and the backbiting authors, the death threats-which seem totally baseless-are the least of North and Shaw’s worries. But the convention isn’t what he expects. When an author asks for their help investigating threats against a gay romance convention, Shaw sees an opportunity to shake up their routine and maybe have some fun. Sure, work might be taking up every spare minute, and their time together as a couple might have evaporated-but that’s normal, right? And after years of missed opportunities, they’re finally together. Their private investigation agency is thriving. The aftermath of their search for the Slasher has finally settled down. Shaw Aldrich and his best friend, boyfriend, and partner, North McKinney, are doing great, thanks. Metaphor: human beings are 90% chimp (egoistic) and 10% bee (social, in need of hive-life).

Metaphor: the mind is divided, like a rider on an elephant, and the rider’s job is to serve the elephant (the elephant is akin to Kahneman Daniel’s Fast-system in Thinking, Fast and Slow and the rider is the Slow system. Intuitions come first, srategic reasoning second Haidt makes a well-rounded case, with empathetic take on views he personally does not hold, echoed very wel in Chapter 12’s title “Can’t we all disagree more constructively?” Lots of ideas and concepts explained very well and also from different angles.
