A VOICE, Oxford English, honeyed by years of good scotch, laughter and the occasional bellow; seasoned by thousands of wild lies, hundreds of bawdy jokes and dozens of fantastic stories told: GRANT But once every millennium, the sun awakes as if from a nightmare, and vents its wrath upon the Earth, charging the very heavens with unseen power... A SLOW TILT DOWN reveals the broad, curved horizon of THE SUN, it’s surface roiling with unimaginable violence. GRANT When the Conflagration comes to pass, this power may be drawn upon by a race of men known as Summoners.

One good thing about this book is its scientific elements that are revealed leading up to the finale. Of course there are still two books left, and Dean has once said the final book will bring Odd back to the beginning of it all. It was just like when you say 'butter' over and over again until the word ceases to mean anything. Roseland was built by Constantine Cloyce, newspaper and film mogul. I would be content to spend my days whipping up omelets that make you groan with pleasure and pancakes so fluffy that the slightest breeze might float them off your plate. However, there are still a few slices of humor interspersed if only to add a small amount of brevity to the overall story. A final sin of Koontz is to oh-so-cutely remove the swears from his writing. I suspected that high above me raced torrents of ashes, soot, and fine debris that had once been cities, metropolises pulverized by explosions unprecedented in power and number, then vomited high into the atmosphere, caught and held in orbit by the jet stream, by the many jet streams of a war-transformed troposphere. At the emergency room, her credit card and debit card are declined. Last update - no spoilers: It was so great. He goes through it and picks a few at random, hands the guy a gun, and boom! They were larger than eagles but seemed more like bats, many hundreds of them, incoming from the northwest, descending as they approached.

Pratt Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded December 2015 ii © 2015 Anna Carroll iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Anna Carroll Doctor of Philosophy Department of English December 2015 Title: Holy Ghosts: Romantic Asceticism and Its Figural Phantoms This dissertation reconsiders sacred tropes in the Romantic poetry of William Wordsworth, Percy Shelley, and John Keats within the context of ascetic performances and written saints’ lives. I argue that reading these poets as ascetic figures helps us to better understand Romantic isolation as a deeply social engagement, for an ascetic rejects his social milieu in order to call for the sanctification of a corrupt community. Asceticism redraws the lines of Romantic immanent critique of nineteenth-century England and newly explains the ghostly afterlives of poets whose literary personae transcend their biographical lives. Furthermore, this study takes up the ways in which the foundational ascetic tropes of Romantic poetry bind the major poets together in an impenetrable canon of writers with holy vows to poetry and to each other.

  • Introduction 1 the Good Mother
    Notes Introduction 1. By ‘motherhood’ I am referring to the character of the mother and the practice of motherhood on screen. By the ‘maternal’ I am referring to the characteristics and symbolism which evoke motherhood. 2. This is not to suggest that the figure of the mother is entirely absent from pre-1960s cinema, rather that a range of socio-economic factors led to a development in the horror genre. For the purposes of clarity I wish to focus on post-Classical horror cinema. 3. This is not to suggest that no debates about motherhood existed prior to this, rather that discussions of the mother in film increased greatly after these years. 4. The woman’s film centres on a female protagonist, deals with specifically ‘female’ issues (such as motherhood or domesticity) and is aimed at a female audience. For Doane, the maternal melodrama is a sub-category of the woman’s film. While the maternal melodrama is more readily asso- ciated with films of the Classical Hollywood period, it remains a popular sub-genre of modern mainstream cinema. The maternal melodrama, as the name suggests, deals with the figure of the mother and the impact of motherhood on her life or that of the child. 5. This is not to suggest that discussion of the mother/maternal is limited to these genres, simply that they seem to have provoked the most interest. 6. For example, see Alien and the various studies by Creed, Bundtzen or Rosemary’s Baby as discussed by Fischer or Kuhn. 7. See Mulvey (2000); De Lauretis, Teresa, Alice Doesn’t: Feminism, Semiotics, Cinema, Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1984.

  • In the Face of Fear How Fear and Anxiety Affect Our Health and Society, and What We Can Do About It CONTENTS
    In the face of fear How fear and anxiety affect our health and society, and what we can do about it CONTENTS Foreword 1 Acknowledgements 2 Executive summary 3 1. Introduction 12 2. What is fear and why is it important? 14 3. The Mental Health Foundation fear survey 21 4. Why are we so fearful? 27 5. What can we do about fear? 37 6. Conclusion 48 Appendix A: Opinium survey 50 In the face of fear Foreword Fear has always been an aspect of human life. Early man would have feared attack by predators, famine, disease and disputes with other communities. Fear would have played a key part in human evolution as many biologists and anthropologists have attested. The truth is fear still plays a key part in our lives. Individually we experience both rational and irrational fears that drive our behaviour and fear also drives communities and social policies. You only have to go to an airport or some inner city housing estates to see fear at work. Fear too is present in our economic crisis as both a driver and an outcome. In the context of mental health our ability to master fear is a key part of resilience and being prey to irrational fears is one of the roots of as well as a result of mental illness. If fear levels in the general population are high more people will experience mental illness and particularly the most common mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression and anxiety disorders. Excessive fear poses an enormous burden on our society directly through anxiety related illness, which can be physical as well as mental, and indirectly through inappropriate behaviours such as excessive supervision of children or failure to invest.
