She’s looking for a little adventure, possibly the chance to have a little holiday fling, and to make some decisions about how she wants to spend the next few years. Liza is newly out as lesbian to her parents, and Kit, but no one else. What follows for each of them, and for Kit, who’s left behind, is a coming-of-age story that will resonate with many readers for a variety of reasons. The other four young women decide to go anyway, even though their only connection to each other is Kit. However, days before they are supposed to depart, Kit-who has a reputation for making very bad decisions-discovers she is penniless and unable to take the journey. Kit, her cousin, and three of her friends were supposed to go on a four-week trip around Europe in between finishing high school and starting university. What might have seemed a daunting prospect to write (and possibly read), is achieved brilliantly with an effortlessness that is amazing to experience. It’s a stand-alone tale, not related to the “Story of Now” series, and it’s even more ambitious than her earlier works as it features no less than four main characters’ points of view. “Points of Departure”, her new YA novel, is even more of a gem. 5 It’s not the journey but who you’re with.Įmily O’Beirne has recently published two YA novels in her “Story of Now” series, and I thought both of those were excellent.

Great read, full of Christian fantasy fun! A similar organisation, the Institute for the Study of Human Knowledge (ISHK), exists in the United States, under the directorship of Stanford University psychology professor Robert Ornstein, whom Shah appointed as his deputy in the U.S. In 1965, Shah founded the Institute for Cultural Research, a London-based educational charity devoted to the study of human behaviour and culture. His most seminal work was The Sufis, which appeared in 1964 and was well received internationally. In 1960 he established a publishing house, Octagon Press, producing translations of Sufi classics as well as titles of his own. His early writings centred on magic and witchcraft. Idries Shah (Persian: ادریس شاه), also known as Idris Shah, né Sayed Idries el-Hashimi (Arabic: سيد إدريس هاشمي), was an author and teacher in the Sufi tradition who wrote over three dozen critically acclaimed books on topics ranging from psychology and spirituality to travelogues and culture studies.īorn in India, the descendant of a family of Afghan nobles, Shah grew up mainly in England. Since we have discussed this theme – Kshatriya/Warrior/Action vs Brahmin/Priest/Contemplation – in previous articles, I thought the following quote from a Tantric text would be interesting to share. *For more information on the term Hinduism, read John Morgan’s definition under the title God, Hinduism, Polytheism in my book review of The Agni and The Ecstasy by Steven J. He is more interested in Hindu* metaphysics and the various spiritual paths derived therefrom. Evola approaches yoga in the spiritual sense, so this book is not practical in its nature – he does not elaborate on various flexibility exercises. After reading The Hermetic Tradition (review here) and the three volumes of Introduction to Magic (reviews here and here) by Evola and the UR Group, I decided to continue along the esoteric path by reading The Yoga of Power. Octavia lays eggs early that summer, the final stage in a female octopus’s life. They meet every Wednesday to visit with Kali so Montgomery can learn more about her. One is a volunteer named Wilson who has deft and sensitive skills with octopuses. In addition to Bill, Montgomery meets several people at the aquarium, both staff and volunteers, who become friends. With Octavia aging, the aquarium acquires another young octopus it names Kali. Octopuses only live a short time-depending on species, a maximum of five years. Montgomery leaves on an extended book tour, and when she returns, Octavia seems to have begun her descent into old age. Because an octopus’s arms contain many of its neurons, each arm almost has a brain of its own, and the suckers on its arms allow it to taste, feel, and grip things as well as analyze chemicals. Montgomery accompanies Octavia’s keeper, Bill Murphy, when he feeds her, and she interacts with the young octopus through touch. Octavia is initially shy and standoffish but soon warms to Montgomery. The aquarium acquires a new octopus, named Octavia, and Montgomery sets out to get to know her. After only a few visits, however, Athena unexpectedly dies. She is fascinated by what she learns about octopuses, which is quite different from the stereotypes and myths about them in popular culture. Montgomery begins by describing her brief interactions with an octopus named Athena at the New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts. The point of view shifts to Septimus Warren Smith, a veteran of World War I who is suffering from shell shock. He follows a young woman, idealizing her from afar. Peter leaves when Clarissa’s daughter Elizabeth enters, and he walks to Regent’s Park, thinking about Clarissa’s refusal of his marriage offer. Peter and Clarissa have always been very close but also very critical of each other, and their brief meeting is laden with shared memories. Peter was once passionately in love with Clarissa, but she rejected his offer of marriage. She passes a car bearing an unknown but important personage, and an airplane sky writing an advertisement.Ĭlarissa returns home and is visited by Peter Walsh, an old friend from Bourton who has been in India for years. She enjoys the small sensations of daily life and often muses on her late teenage years at Bourton, her family’s country home. Clarissa is throwing a party that night, and in the morning she walks about London on her way to get flowers. Clarissa Dalloway is an upper-class housewife married to Richard, a politician in the Conservative Party. Dalloway takes place in London during one day and night in mid-June, 1923. This book is more frightening than any book you'll ever read. After an utterly engrossing journey that takes us to the frontiers of thinking about the human condition and the future of intelligent life, we find in Nick Bostrom's work nothing less than a reconceptualization of the essential task of our time. This profoundly ambitious and original book breaks down a vast track of difficult intellectual terrain. Will it be possible to construct a seed Artificial Intelligence, to engineer initial conditions so as to make an intelligence explosion survivable? How could one achieve a controlled detonation? As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on humans than on the species itself, so would the fate of humankind depend on the actions of the machine superintelligence.īut we have one advantage: We get to make the first move. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. |
