Bridges characterizes the heroine as confident and spunky. A tutor teaches any of the 100 assorted grandchildren who wish to learn, but Ruby is the only girl who continues to study while also keeping pace with learning her many household duties. She sets the scene with a description of "a block of houses, five houses wide and seven houses deep, the magnificent home of one family." Ruby lives in this home with her grandfather (who "did what rich men did in old China: he married many wives"). Bridges, in her first book (based on her grandmother's story), handles the conflict between Chinese tradition and young Ruby's longing to attend university with grace and compassion. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Amartya Sen’s Development as Freedom has been widely praised as a way forward for a more humane society since it was published a decade ago in 1999, the year after its author won the Bank of Sweden prize in economics (otherwise known as the Nobel Prize for economics). To many, it is the standard for ethical economics, so much so that one critic laments ‘until now the issue of ethics and economics, especially in the context of development, has been dominated by Amartya Sen, almost to the extent of being a one-man show with supporting acts’ (Fine, 2004). Kofi Annan says of Amartya Sen that ‘the world's poor and dispossessed could have no more articulate or insightful a champion’. It has almost reached the point where criticizing Amartya Sen, like Mother Theresa, is out of bounds. In this critical assessment of Sen’s much lauded book, Denis O’Hearn considers its central thesis and impact on development. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ultimately, he found considerable success - but his career was stalled when he was outmatched by an intellectual rival: his young, strident, brilliantly original student, Ludwig Wittgenstein. At the same time, he began courting his first wife, teasing her with riddles and leaning on her during the darker days, when his quest was bogged down by paradoxes, frustrations and the ghosts of his family's secrets. ![]() As he grew older, and increasingly sophisticated as a philosopher and mathematician, Russell strove to create an objective language with which to describe the world - one free of the biases and slippages of the written word. Driven by a desire for knowledge of his own history, he attempted to force the world to yield to his yearnings: for truth, clarity and resolve. Raised by his paternal grandparents, young Russell was never told the whereabouts of his parents. This brilliantly illustrated tale of reason, insanity, love and truth recounts the story of Bertrand Russell's life. ![]() ![]() ![]() His skimpy design was risqué, exposing the wearer's navel and much of her buttocks. He named the swimsuit after the Bikini Atoll, where the first public test of a nuclear bomb had taken place four days before. Clothing designer Louis Réard introduced his new, smaller design in July. Like swimsuits of the era, it covered the wearer's belly button, and it failed to attract much attention. ![]() ![]() In May 1946, Parisian fashion designer Jacques Heim released a two-piece swimsuit design that he named the Atome ('Atom') and advertised as "the smallest swimsuit in the world". Bikini bottoms covering about half the buttocks may be described as "Brazilian-cut", while those covering about three-quarters of the buttocks may be described as "cheeky" or "cheeky-cut". The size of the top and bottom can vary, from bikinis that offer full coverage of the breasts, pelvis, and buttocks, to more revealing designs with a thong or G-string bottom that covers only the mons pubis, but exposes the buttocks, and a top that covers only the areolae. A woman wearing a black bikini at the beachĪ bikini is a women's two-piece swimsuit that features one piece on top that covers the breasts, and a second piece on the bottom: the front covering the pelvis but usually exposing the navel, and the back generally covering the intergluteal cleft and a little, some, or all of the buttocks. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ellie’s view of the world is spot-on, feeling just like the thoughts dogs must have, particularly her disdain for cats (not worth training) and her anxious concern for people who aren’t busy playing with her (“It was too bad.

He noted that works Eddy was known to have written revealed her peculiar, opaque, and generally poor writing style, as distinguished from the clear, grammatical style of Science and Health. In a book entitled Christian Science, Mark Twain challenged Eddy's authorship of Science and Health. It was written by Mary Baker Eddy, inspired by studies of the Bible she undertook in 1867 following a healing experience.
