![]() ![]() ![]() He plots the course of the equation through the twentieth century, showing how our lives have been revolutionized by its applications and looks far ahead to the future. He looks at the elements 'e', 'm' and 'c' and honours the scientists whose landmark discoveries paved the way for Einstein. In this fascinating biography David Bodanis tells the story of one of the greatest scientific discoveries in history. Generations have grown up knowing that equation changed the shape of our world, but without understanding what it really means and why it is so significant. One of those papers introduced the theory of special relativity and his legendary equation, E=mc2. ![]() I didn't know I could know so much.'

Some women worked in their fathers’ studios. As with other trades, skills were passed down through generations. ![]() Women weren’t artists for the same reason we weren’t carpenters. Until the 19th century gave us the romantic cult of the individual, art came from studios with masters, apprentices and assistants. Instead of falling into the popular trap of claiming that minor women artists in the canon of art history should simply be reclassified as major, Nochlin deftly gave an account of the circumstances under which art was made, and artists taught. … the question of women’s equality - in art as in any other realm - devolves not upon the relative benevolence or ill-will of individual men, nor the self-confidence or abjectness of individual women, but rather on the very nature of our institutional structures themselves and the view of reality which they impose on the human beings who are part of them. ![]() ![]() She arranges a date between her mom and unemployed Theo Marker, an Irish Wolfhound owner, and does everything to get and keep them together.

Manhattan, New York (PRWEB) February 24, 2012 ![]() ![]() Jenny and the six-year-old Graciela are chalk and cheese - or maybe burlap and satin. Jenny mightn't look like much, she mightn't have much, but she takes her honor seriously, and any promise she gives is solid gold. When the story opens, she's been sentenced to death, but a desperate mother takes Jenny Jones' place in front of a firing squad in exchange for Jenny's promise to see her daughter safely to California. Jenny Jones is a rough, tough, fiercely independent Annie Oakley kind of western gal. I bought it on line, read it and loved it. Some time back, on the wenches private loop, Jo Beverley mentioned Maggie Osborne's The Promise of Jenny Jones and out of curiosity I went looking for it. I came to romance novels later in life, and many of the US romances simply weren't available here in Australia, so I know I've missed out on some that are regarded by many romance readers as "classics of romance."

Recently I've been discovering some of the older style historical romances. ![]() ![]() ![]() Heyerdahl's full hypothesis of a South American origin of the Polynesian peoples is generally rejected by scientists today. This idea has received support from statistical analysis of genetic evidence of contact between South America and Polynesia. Although the expedition carried some modern equipment, such as a radio, watches, charts, sextant, and metal knives, Heyerdahl argued they were incidental to the purpose of proving that the raft itself could make the journey. His aim in mounting the Kon-Tiki expedition was to show, by using only the materials and technologies available to those people at the time, that there were no technical reasons to prevent them from having done so. Heyerdahl believed that people from South America could have reached Polynesia during pre-Columbian times. A 2012 dramatized feature film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. A 1950 documentary film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Heyerdal’s book on the expedition was entitled The Kon-Tiki Expedition: By Raft Across the South Seas. ![]() The raft was named Kon-Tiki after the Inca god Viracocha, for whom "Kon-Tiki" was said to be an old name.
