Whitman shares his belief that every object in the universe, no matter how small, has a natural and spiritual self that contain part of the infinite universe. We see all, are part of everything, and condemn nothing. It was called A Poem of Walt Whitman, an American until he changed it in 1881 to Song of Myself, a reflection of the work's broader implications: that the divine spirit resides within all of us, and that we have knowledge about ourselves that "transcends" the world around us. ![]() Quite simply, Whitman's poem is an unabashed celebration all about himself, exemplifying the Transcendental Movement to a "T."

Walker s airy watercolors evince on every page the love the members of this comfortably middle-class, all-black family feel for one another. By the end of the book, the narrator understands more fully the role of big brother and is able knowledgeably to answer Good when Daddy asks how my new job is going. ![]() Although the narrator is very close to a big-brother ideal, he does express disgust with stinky diapers, frustration with people telling me to SHHHH because the baby is sleeping, and disappointment when a parent can t play because I have to take care of the baby. He proudly shares that he knew how to dial 911 and call Daddy if the baby came early, a detail absent from most baby-on-the-way books that s presented matter-of-factly and without alarmism. Hudson lays out a best-case scenario for her narrator and his family: he helps with apparently unflagging cheer. The little boy, who looks to be about 4 or 5, tells readers how he helped Mommy and Daddy before the baby arrived, how he waited with Grandma while his parents were at the hospital, and how he adapts to the new family member.

From Lukov With Love was so different from Wait For It (her last release prior to this) and only showed Mariana Zapatas versatility and ability to create totally different characters -who are still equally lovable. It makes this book all the more enjoyable because you get to revisit those characters years later, and the family dynamics are just fabulously done. Safety first for the fur kids! If you haven't read Dear Aaron, you can appreciate this story more if you read it first, as you get to see those character in this book as well, plus the other family members that are mentioned in Dear Aaron. If you're a pet parent the fact that Lacey was in a harness and seatbelt doesn't even phase you. In terms of the book, only a true pet parent could show so much personality in Lacey and really demonstrate what pet parents are like. Give them excellent material to work with and you have an instant success. ![]() ![]() Where to start? The narrators were in top form, not that Callie Dalton is ever anything but perfection but that voice for Ivan just took it over the top.

"Award-winning YA author Holly Black has created an imaginary masterpiece yet again with her first foray into adult fantasy, narrated with perfection by Sara Amini." - AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner) ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments Afterimage by Ais![]() ![]() With real images, results were replicated also when eye channels were exchanged during the abrupt change. ![]() Dominance reversals failed to occur following short suppression periods and depended on an abrupt change (removal) of the stimulus. In all experiments, we found that for both AIs and real images, the suppressed percept consistently gained initial dominance following a long suppression period. Here, we examined rivalry between afterimages, between real images, and between both to examine eye-based and binocular contributions to this effect. Counterintuitively, when these two AIs rival, the AI of the previously suppressed percept gains initial dominance, even when it is weaker. Both suppressed and dominant images form afterimages (AIs) whose strength depends on the perceptual state during induction. In binocular rivalry, the conscious percept alternates stochastically between two images shown to the two eyes. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments Xiran jay zhao zachary ying![]() His mission involves sealing the portal to the Chinese underworld, which has been compromised, and saving his mother.
