![]() ![]() The first half of this volume deals with the Flower Cartel, yet another shady organisation targetting the X-Men, this time so that they can steal the Krakoan flowers that have revolutionised the mutants' world. That said, this volume is.even, to say the least. ![]() Wolverine's solo series as part of Dawn of X is piloted by Benjamin Percy, who also covers Logan's adventures over in X-Force, so at least there's not a lot of push and pull between those two books. Overall, I thought this was a pretty fun book. ![]() Of course, stuff happens, which causes wolverine to go on his own little adventure.Īfter all of that gets wrapped up, there's this whole plotline with VAMPIRES! And I loved it! I don't know what's so interesting about marvel vampires, but they are! Don't judge me. Of course, the council doesn't like this, so they send the x-force to try and get the pollen back. So what's this book about? So there's this black market that is taking this pollen fom Krakoa and using it as this drug and selling it. ![]() So my head didn't completely explode from too much info like what happened with House Of X/Powers Of X. In other words, it stayed it's own little bubble, only referencing all of the stuff going on in the main X men titles. But when I saw this on Hoopla's free borrows list, I thought I would give it a try. So this is in the Krakoa era, which I have been avoiding in favor of getting a better handle on the world instead of just jumping into the all the complicated (but good) stuff Hickman created. ![]()

![]() ![]() Third, I will briefly explore the centrality of the doctrine for her pacifism. Secondly, I will explore Day’s often neglected advocacy for the Jews in light of her doctrine of the Mystical Body. I will argue that this doctrine has explicitly social contours for Day, and that it was central to understanding her advocacy both on behalf of the Jews and against war. First, I will briefly lay out Day’s doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ, a doctrine that emphasizes the union among all humanity that exists because of and in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. I will not be neglecting these legacies in this essay, but rather, I will show the interconnection of Day’s legacy as a lay Catholic and pacifist to one of her lesser-known legacies: friend of the Jews. For others, Day is the paragon lay Catholic, exhibiting a life of radical devotion to the Church. ![]() For some, Day remains an emblematic pacifist, standing against American militarism for the better part of five decades. ![]() Many Roots, One Tree: Dorothy Day on the Mystical Body of Christ, Judaism, and Warĭorothy Day’s legacy is one which has been manifold in its reception. ![]() ![]() ![]() Committing to love was only the beginning.

He began his report as soon as he was within earshot. But it was not men fighting the fire who had cut down the drawbridge and thrown its broken remnants into the mostly frozen Thames, nor was it men who cast the misshapen shadow now moving amongst the fire’s wreckage.ĭavid Bourne, the junior bridgemaister, picked his way through the wreckage to John’s side. At least the southern end of the bridge had survived, being separated from the northern end by a wooden drawbridge meant to allow the passage of ships. An ominous red glow warned that the fire still burned on in vaults and cellars it wouldn’t take much wind to lick those flames up to full strength again. ![]() ![]() The entire north end of the bridge had been scoured down to stone, the timber-framed houses that formerly lined both sides now reduced to ashes. ![]() Not so for the inhabitants of London Bridge. The fire had spread from the bridge to the riverside, reducing almost a hundred houses there to smoking ruins, but at least that had been the end of it for those who lived on solid land. “Blood and nails,” Senior Bridgemaister John Potter swore, as he inspected the smoldering bridge from the relative safety of Thames Street. ![]() ![]() ![]() His later short story " The Last Question", however, expands the AC suffix to be "analog computer". Asimov had assumed the name "Univac" denoted a computer with a single vacuum tube (it actually is an acronym for "Universal Automatic Computer"), and on the basis that a computer with many such tubes would be more powerful, called his fictional computer "Multivac". According to his autobiography In Memory Yet Green, Asimov coined the name in imitation of UNIVAC, an early mainframe computer. In all cases, it is a government-run computer that answers questions posed using natural language, and it is usually buried deep underground for security purposes. Like most of the technologies Asimov describes in his fiction, Multivac's exact specifications vary among appearances. Multivac has been described as the direct ancestor of HAL 9000. ![]() Asimov's depiction of Multivac, a mainframe computer accessible by terminal, originally by specialists using machine code and later by any user, and used for directing the global economy and humanity's development, has been seen as the defining conceptualization of the genre of computers for the period (1950s–1960s). ![]() Multivac is the name of a fictional supercomputer appearing in over a dozen science fiction stories by American writer Isaac Asimov. ![]() ![]() Wing is on a plane flight to Vienna for the first psychoanalysts conference since analysts were driven out during the Holocaust. ![]() Isadora Wing is a Jewish journalist from New York City's Upper West Side.

The story's American narrator is struggling to find her place in the world of academia, feminist scholarship, and in the literary world as a whole. The novel's tone may be considered conversational or informal. On a trip to Vienna with her second husband, Isadora decides to indulge her sexual fantasies with another man. ![]() The novel is written in the first person, narrated by its protagonist, Isadora Zelda White Stollerman Wing, a 29-year-old poet who has published two books of poetry. It became controversial for its portrayal of female sexuality, and figured in the development of second-wave feminism. ![]() Fear of Flying is a 1973 novel by Erica Jong. ![]() ![]() ![]() Meant solely for series fans (as there is no way one could pick this book up as a standalone), Grumley does a masterful job filling in the gaps and creating new ones for those who seek more.
