What I will discuss, instead, is how this story is connected to another cultural touchstone of the left-handed, hand-rolled cigarette connoisseur: The Big Lebowski. You are incorrect, however, in assuming that this is what I planned to spend the majority of this review discussing. ![]() Alas, such a feat would have required quite a bit of time travel - a concept that had not been thrust into the forefront of popular culture until over a decade after the release of Dark Side Of The Moon, when Robert Zemeckis put out his iconic Back To The Future trilogy. ![]() Well, you are right about the fact that the album and the movie line up so perfectly to create such a profound masterpiece of psychedelia that it is hard to believe Victor Fleming and Roger Waters weren’t sitting together in the same production studio during the making of each project. ![]() Published by planksipĪnd, just like that, we are off to see the wizard - the wonderful Wizard of Oz!

A Critic's Meta Review: 4/5 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. ![]() ![]() ![]() His earliest linguistic work emphasized the importance of syntax as a core part of grammar and sought to establish a framework for the cross-linguistic description of word order, as had already been attempted for morphology by other scholars. Most significant among these are his contributions to cross-linguistic syntactic comparison and typology, grammar-writing, and grammaticalization. Today Gabelentz is chiefly remembered for several theoretical and methodological innovations which continue to play a role in linguistics. ![]() Steinthal (1823–1899), and his own father, Hans Conon von der Gabelentz (1807–1874). He was, however, generally critical of mainstream historical-comparative linguistics as propagated by the neogrammarians and instead emphasized approaches to language inspired by a line of researchers including Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767–1835), H. As Professor of East-Asian languages at the University of Leipzig from 1878 to 1889 and then Professor for Sinology and General Linguistics at the University of Berlin from 1889 until his death, Gabelentz was present at some of the main centers of linguistics at the time. The German sinologist and general linguist Georg von der Gabelentz (1840–1893) occupies an interesting place at the intersection of several streams of linguistic scholarship at the end of the nineteenth century. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Disturbed and confounded by those events at the time, Blume decided to set this novel against the backdrop of that tragedy. Judy Blume was a teenager in 1951–1952 when a series of passenger airplanes crashed in New Jersey within a three-month period.

The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler ![]() ![]() “Do better for what?” It was another of my blunders. “You don’t want to end up like me, no sir. “Good to see you found someone,” the old man wheezed. It was not until Smitty made an offhand remark that I realized the significance. Unlike most, she had been born within the dome, and she knew the hidden ways, where old men sold songbirds from gilded cages, and old women sat in doorways smoking pipes that sent blue smoke curling up toward the sky. It was strange, but not unwelcome, to have a companion who knew the city. I found myself seeing her nearly every night. ![]() This became our pattern once a week, then twice. Sadly, she had such an honest soul that she accepted it without question. Once, she caught me at it, and I had to lie: “I have many allergies. ![]() I grew adept at scanning the ingredients to make sure they would not send me into convulsions. We ate in open-air stalls, food I never would have touched on my own. ![]() I do not know why I acceded, but again and again, I let her lead me out, where she showed me what it is to be human. ![]() ![]() Few lives have given to the world such lessons of cheerfulness, of perseverance, and of untiring industry.

Too little in our own country do we treasure the homes of those who give honor to the nation.

Under these dark poplars, enormous in size, he taught the pupils who came from all parts of the world to hear him. Nearby is the Botanic Garden, which Linnæus so loved and developed, and the two-and-a-half-story stuccoed house where the great naturalist lived and entertained princes. Near by is the monument of dark porphyry, with the plain, shaven face in bronze, wreathed with laurel, and the words “ Carolo a Linné Botanicorum Principi Amici et Discipuli, 1798.” ![]() ![]() In the Swedish town of Upsala sleeps the man who, more than any other, has immortalized Upsala University, and helped to make Sweden an intellectual and studious country. ![]() ![]() ![]() Q: Have we met these characters before in another book?Ī: No! These guys are brand new, and we can’t wait for you to meet them. LobsterShorts: Now wouldn’t that be life-changing. Right? Just promise you won’t fall in love with me.
