As someone with a disability myself, I was able to relate to some of Isabelle’s struggles (though no one has ever called me the Breaker’s get and tried to kill me because of it, thankfully). For me, at least, everything about this book was unique and, honestly, more than a little surprising. While it isn’t a romance, there seems to be the potential for one to develop in book 2…which, sadly, doesn’t come out until 2019. The setting-a fantastical version of colonial-era Europe-was unique, the characters were engaging, and there were several plot twists I never saw coming. I’ve only recently strayed into the genres of steampunk and gaslamp, but have decided I love them and this was no exception. ![]() An Alchemy of Masques and Mirrors was a refreshingly unpredictable surprise. ![]() ![]() ![]() In their 1999 book, Presumed Guilty: An Investigation into the JonBenet Ramsey Case, the Media, and the Culture of ography, they conducted a similar probe for the infamous child killing in Boulder, Colorado.

As I discussed in a previous post, some characteristics of the meta-mythology are that it: a) emerges at the border between order and chaos, b) has the same structure as an insight, and c) is the process by which relevance realization occurs. ![]() In this post I will argue that modern consciousness science supports Peterson’s claim. This cyclic pattern is essentially characteristic of the development of consciousness, of the capacity to act and represent – which is regarded from the mythic perspective as akin to the creation of the world. This meta-myth provides the deep structure linking other classes of myths, including those describing the current or pre-existent stable state, those that portray the emergence of something unexpected into that state, those that represent the dissolution of paradise, in consequence, and those that describe the regeneration of stability. The meta-mythology of the Way portrays the manner in which specific ideas about the present, the future, and the mode of transforming one into the other are initially constructed, and then reconstructed in their entirety, when such transformation becomes necessary. ![]() This meta-mythology, Peterson claims, is essentially characteristic of the development of consciousness. ![]() ![]() ![]() The best parts of "A Walk in the Woods" worked because not much happened along the trail in order to fill in the holes, Bryson became something of an expert, studying and researching people, flora, fauna, history and park politics.

He's an American who wrote travel books and newspapered in England for 20 years before returning to New Hampshire with his wife and family in 1996. ![]() The other kind is simply fascinating - someone like Lewis Lapham of Harper's Magazine, who can make a connection between Louis XIV's court and Reagan's cabinet one month and write on cultural commodification the next.īill Bryson, the author of the set of columns collected in "I'm a Stranger Here Myself," is neither fascinating nor an expert. ![]() ![]() One is the expert - someone like Robert Christgau of the Village Voice, a guy who's breathed music for 30 years and knows more about the subject than Billboard does.
