![]() ![]() ![]() Parents can practice EC as much or as little as fits their family and lifestyle. Unlike the all-or-nothing approach of some parenting books, The Diaper-Free Baby addresses three categories of full-time, part-time, and occasional EC'ers. Gross-Loh, a mother of two children who were diaper-free at eighteen and fifteen months, uses the tenets of "elimination communication," or EC, to teach parents how to identify and respond to their baby or toddler's natural cues. Infants are born with the ability to communicate their need to "go," just as they communicate hunger or sleepiness. ![]() Imagine infants free from painful diaper rash, new parenthood without thousands of dollars wasted in diapering costs, toilet training that is natural and noncoercive, and, most important, happier babies and parents As Christine Gross-Loh reveals in her progressive, enlightening book, all this is possible and more. ![]()

Hurt, but alive, he is almost immediately recognized as a Neanderthal, but only much later as a scientist. In that world, Neanderthal civilization has reached heights of culture and science comparable to our own, but is very different in history, society, and philosophy.ĭuring a risky experiment deep in a mine in Canada, Ponter Boddit, a Neanderthal physicist, accidentally pierces the barrier between worlds and is transferred to our universe, where in the same mine another experiment is taking place. We are one of those species, the other is the Neanderthals of a parallel world where they, not Homo sapiens, became the dominant intelligence. They are alien to each other, yet bound together by the never-ending quest for knowledge and, beneath their differences, a common humanity. Hominids is a strong, stand-alone SF novel, but it's also the first book of The Neanderthal Parallax, a trilogy that examines two unique species of people. What they do have in common is imaginative originality, great stories, and unique scientific extrapolation. Clearly, he must be doing something right since each one has been something new and different. Robert Sawyer's SF novels are perennial nominees for the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, or both. ![]() ![]() ![]() Summer's over and it's time for Sunny Lewin to enter the strange and unfriendly hallways of.

Jesse just hates me swearing, but thinks it is perfectly acceptable for him to rant like a sailor. What the fuck is going on here? I want to swear my head off, but my Mum hates swearing just as much as Jesse. ‘You’re making up for it now, Jesse.’ My Mum pats his suit clad arm and my mouth drops open. It’s not what I would have chosen to wear to meet your parents, but desperate times.’ He shrugs. ‘I didn’t go for a run this morning.’ he says. He sighs and walks towards us until he’s stood in front of me, a bit close for comfort, considering my parents are just there and this is all a bit of a shock for them, and for me. ‘We’ve met.’ he repeats himself, which is not necessary because I heard the first time.

I don’t know why I’m mortified, he draws the same reaction from all women and I need to remember that my mother is nearer to Jesse’s age than I am. She is still smiling brightly and I’m mortified to see that she’s obviously affected by Jesse. I look at my mother, who is smiling brightly at my challenging man, and then at my father, who executes his I’m-just-doing-as-I’m-told look. ![]() ![]() ![]() Use the entire More Happy Than Not calendar, or supplement it with your own curriculum ideas.

Seems Xanthe has her sire, a creepy long-dead named Lillith(appropriately enough) who has it out for her and wants to kill her. It’s not just that cut and dry, of course. Her professor mother starts reading up treatises on vampirism, and her dad and mom concoct ways to find fresh blood for her(the parade of house pets that they purchase for her, is just hilarious). Her younger brother Zach believes she’s wrong and she’s a zombie(that’s just one of many hysterical exchanges in this book.). She finds out that she’s now one of the undead she used to worship and read about obsessively. Xanthe Jane(Jane, as she prefers to be called) wakes up in a coffin. Now this- was an entertaining little read. ![]() ![]() He moved to Western Europe and worked as a saxophone player for some years before returning to the Polish village of his childhood. No place names or personal names are specified, but the narrator clearly experienced the Second World War in Poland as a child, then trained and worked there as an electrician – helping to build ‘a new, better world’. The resulting narrative is vivid and engaging, providing entertaining tales as well as food for reflection about the big questions of human existence. Through stories from his childhood and youth, the old man reveals his personal history, with frequent digressions on topics from the mundane to the philosophical, and reflections on people and life. ![]() The novel is the monologue of an ordinary man in the autumn of his life, as he talks to a stranger one summer evening while shelling beans.

![]() ![]() That’s a good start, because it gives him a entirely different perspective to authors traditionally fixated on Constantinope, Rome or Ravenna (the new western capital). He had to find some way to choose the year, of course, and he selected this one because it marked the end of the Kingdom of Armenia, which just happens to be the author’s special subject. It’s to attempt to get at something of that lived reality that Giusto Traina has written 428AD: An Ordinary Year At The End of the Roman Empire. They can’t have been, in their own minds, living through the end of empire – they were living their lives, dealing with the local upsets, expecting the empire which in human timeframes had gone on “forever”, to continue. The “end of the Roman empire”: it is a popular topic, with some big questions around if: why? How? when? They’ve been some excellent, illuminated books written on it – I reviewed one of them recently – but what tends to disappear in these accounts is the real lived experience of the people of the period. ![]() |
