![]() ![]() He played in Miles Davis' group for a time, and appears on several live recordings, including Live Evil. He cut his 1967 debut, Life Between the Exit Signs, leading a trio with Paul Motian and Charlie Haden. He has recorded over 100 albums as a leader in jazz and classical music. Though capable of playing in a wide variety of styles, Jarrett is grounded in the jazz tradition. As a pianist (though that is by no means the only instrument he plays), he literally changed the conversation in jazz by introducing an entirely new aesthetic regarding solo improvisation in concert. Pianist, composer, and bandleader Keith Jarrett is one of the most prolific, innovative, and iconoclastic musicians to emerge from the late 20th century. ![]()

The first reason he gives for lost focus is the addiction of people to their mobile phones. Take it with a grain of salt if you want, but his ideas are at least worth considering. Hari circled the globe to interview experts on why we collectively seem to have lost much of our ability to focus attention for prolonged periods of time, and at least some of the reasons he came up with have a clear ring of truth. He has probably made errors in his citations and stretched the truth now and then, as most nonfiction writers do, but the virulence of some of the Wikipedia comments made me wonder whether someone was deliberately attempting to smear him.Īnyway, I’m glad I came back to this book, because it is a compelling and fascinating read. ![]() Then I made the mistake of reading the article on Hari in Wikipedia, which accuses him of various journalistic misdeeds in an extremely virulent way. ![]() I already had enough books in arms, though, and so I saved it for later. I came across Stolen Focus in the library and was instantly fascinated by its premise. ![]() ![]() ![]() In that event, we will reverse any applicable charges that have been made to your credit card, and if the product is or will be available we will attempt to contact you concerning the mistake to receive your instructions as to whether you wish to purchase on the basis of the corrected information.

The writer implies that the in-universe biography of Blood which he used to write the book was partially plagiarized for a Esquemeling's famous Morgan biography, so Morgan got credit for certain exploits that are "rightfully" Blood's. Celebrity Paradox: The story is heavily based on the life of Henry Morgan.The Big Guy: Wolverstone fills this role.Badass Bookworm: Peter was a soldier before he was a peaceful doctor, and when circumstances force him to take up arms again, he kills his enemies with surgical precision.He allowed a black beard to grow on cheeks that had ever been so carefully shaven and the long, thick black hair, once so sedulously curled, hung now in a lank, untidy mane about a face that was changing from its vigorous swarthiness to an unhealthy sallow, whilst the blue eyes, that had been so vivid and compelling, were now dull and lackluster. He had entirely lost the almost foppish concern for his appearance, and was grown careless and slovenly in his dress. ![]() He was degenerating visibly, under the eyes of all. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jane Yolen has a fine record with this kind of book, and she has not let herself down. Towering classic “Metamorphosis” and the exquisite prose of Isak Dinesen, through Saki's happy, horrid whimsy and a poignant tale by the anthologist herself, to the somber cadences of Shulamith Oppenheim. The shape‐changing into wolf, dog, cat, fox, deer, squid, monster, machine and “anything” is well‐handled in a wide spectrum of styles and periods, from of Kafka's Van Vogt's ingenious “The Enchanted Village” - might it be said that the surprise has been seriously grounded, but the parameters of the story are so unusual that it can be forgiven. It is pleasant, therefore, to see how deftly Jane Yolen, with just this arrangement, has avoided this particular lobotomy. ![]() ![]() I also felt they were too fast to fall in love The romance is sweet even tho Its kinda cringy how Lana and Max met. The dreams mixed with past story kinda confused me, im okay with dream story inside the book as long as there aren’t much, but when they pop up pretty often I got confused which one is dream and which one is the reality on this book The parents are also horrible with their attitude and decisions I just want to strangled them I also don’t like some of the characters thoughts and decisions like drinking alcohols ( so many alcohols drink moments on this story), using weed, partying until late at night, going out with strangers, lied to your parents ect ect (call me no fun but that’s what I thought). ![]() maybe it will be better if there are some more background story and more character development about Lana and Max. ![]() ![]() However I really wish this book can engage me more with the characters, i don’t feel any emotional connection to any of the characters on this book even tho I really want to care and root for Lana and Max. ![]() This is such a great debut novel, I enjoy it because the writing style is easy to read and poetical, I also love the idea about this book, its sad and gloomy Thank you so much Ruth for sending me your book for honest review ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Meanwhile, by 1835 the conquest of the rich grasslands of lutruwita (Tasmania) was complete, with the last Aboriginal defenders exiled to Bass Strait. London sought to maintain social control by defining what were called limits of location, and these only extended about 130 miles (210 kilometres) from Sydney, and excluded all of what is now Victoria. What was holding the invasion back was no longer the balance of power but government policy. But 47 years later, the British had the knowledge and resources to conquer the vast Aboriginal-created grasslands of south-eastern Australia. Initially, this slow pace of expansion was because the invaders were still adapting to a new and well-defended land. ![]() An exciting theme of early NSW history is the extent to which Sydney became an Aboriginal town, and the diversity of the cross-cultural encounter. This slow pace of expansion had not prevented violence and suffering, but it had provided a space for adaptation and accommodation.
