The collection offers a stimulating combination of acknowledged classics, including Mark Twain s hilarious Jim Smiley s Jumping Frog and Edgar Allan Poe s chilling The Tell-Tale Heart , and some remarkable pieces that deserve a wider audience, such as Ernest Hemingway s story of miscommunication, Out of Season , or Lorrie Moore s tale of modern love and wit, Starving Again .Kasia Boddy s introduction traces the history of the American short story and explores the changes and continuities in its forms and preoccupations.

I do envy you being married to a man with a sense of humour. Henry thinks he has a sense of humour, but what he has is a joke reflex.The play begins with Max and Charlotte, a couple whose marriage seems about to rupture. But nothing one sees on a stage is the real thing, and some things are less real than others. Charlotte is an actress who has been appearing in a play about marriage written by her husband Henry. Max, her leading man, is also married to an actress, Annie. Both marriages are at the point of rupture because Henry and Annie have fallen in love. But is it the real thing?The Real Thing premiered at the Strand Theatre, London, in 1982, winning the Evening Standard Award for Best Play. It received the Tony Award for Best Play in 1984, and, in 2000, the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. What is this thing called love? In The Real Thing, we watch Henry find the answer - and we watch Mr. Stoppard do so too. The author of such high-flying neo-Shavian farces as Jumpers and Travesties turns his attention to private passion - and he does so without mortgaging an intellect that has few equals in the contemporary theater. The Real Thing is not only Mr. Stoppard s most moving play, but also the most bracing play that anyone has written about love and marriage in years . . . so densely and entertainingly packed with wit, ideas and feelings that one visit just won t do.

WITH A FOREWORD FROM TIM SPECTOR, author of The Diet Myth, Spoon-Fed and Food for LifeNamed BBC Radio 4 s The Food Programme Book of the Year, chosen by Dan Saladino Fubini takes readers on a tour—from tomato growers in Italy to flower farmers in Cornwall to citrus groves in California . . . [and] makes a compelling case for strengthening the connections between consumers and farmers. —Civil Eats A pioneering approach. —Anna Jones, cook and bestselling author of Easy WinsLet flavour guide our food choices – and lead us to a better food future. In Search of the Perfect Peach shows us how this simple desire can bring about a healthier, tastier and brighter future for our food, the people who produce it and the soil it grows in.That first bite of a perfectly ripe peach can be truly transformative – a joyful moment that will stay with you forever. For Franco Fubini, founder and CEO of Natoora, this encounter also leads him to realise that flavour is not simply a fleeting, visceral experience but a window into the farmer, a connection to our natural environment and a taste test for our food system.What makes a great-tasting tomato? Why is scarring on a greengage a good sign? Does ‘eating local’ narrow our priorities to the exclusion of others? In Search of the Perfect Peach follows Franco as he navigates the food system in pursuit of this elusive element. As he takes us from Sicily’s citrus groves to the streets of Mexico City, he shows how we have allowed the wider industry to compromise on more than just flavour.Franco’s search for the Greta peach culminates in his own clarity and conviction: by looking to flavour, we can unpick the industrialisation of our food production, restore nutrition and seasonal diversity to our plates and the craft of growing back to our landscapes. And, above all, we can find that perfect peach every summer. This exciting and important book now brings Natoora and all its ingredients not just to restaurants like ours but … to everyone’s home. —Ruth Rogers, chef and co-founder of The River Cafe An incredible read for those who love food and care about its future. In Search of the Perfect Peach is both a love story and technical guide. —Kyle Connaughton, chef and owner of SingleThread Farm, Restaurant and Inn By valuing and reclaiming flavour, Franco argues that we can transform the system and also enrich our relationship with food.

The woman scientist who saved Americans from thalidomideIn the early 1960s, Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration became one of the most celebrated women in America when she prevented a deadly sedative from entering the U.S. market. A Canadian-born pharmacologist and physician, Kelsey saved countless Americans from the devastating side effects of thalidomide, a drug routinely given to pregnant women to prevent morning sickness.As the FDA medical officer charged with reviewing Merrell Pharmaceutical s application for approval in 1960-61, Kelsey was unconvinced that there was sufficient evidence of the drug s efficacy and safety. Despite substantial pressure, she held her ground for nineteen months while the extent of the drug s worldwide damage became known-thousands of stillborn babies, as well as at least 10,000 children across 46 countries born with severe deformities such as missing limbs, arms and legs that resembled flippers, and improperly developed eyes, ears, and other organs. As a result of Kelsey s efforts, thalidomide was never sold in the United States. The incident led Congress to pass the 1962 Drug Amendment, which fundamentally changed drug regulation in America. Those regulations, still in force today, required pharmaceutical companies to conduct phased clinical trials, obtain informed consent from participants in drug testing, and warn the FDA of adverse effects, and it granted the FDA important controls over prescription-drug advertising.One of a small minority of women to earn an advanced degree in science in the 1930s, Kelsey faced challenges that resonate with women scientists to this day. Revered by the public as a ⠜good mother of science,⠝ she went on to act as a formidable gatekeeper against other suspect drugs, such as diesthylstilbestrol (DES) and laetrile. As part of the team that tested anti-malarial drugs on prisoner volunteers during World War II, she later was instrumental in the formulation of ethical protocols for drug testing on prisoners and the vulnerable, including the elderly and children. Yet behind the public adulation, she faced professional jealousies and glass ceilings, political interference with FDA s actions, and ongoing hostility from pharmaceutical industry officials. She was sustained and supported by family and friends, co-workers and mentors, and a lifetime commitment to good science.Based upon FDA archival records, private family papers, and interviews with family and colleagues, this biography brings to light the efforts and legacy of a pioneering woman of science whose contributions are still influential today.

Based on a technique of impressing places and images on the mind, the ancient Greeks created an elaborate memory system which in turn was inherited by the Romans and passed into the European tradition, to be revived, in occult form, during the Renaissance.Frances Yates sheds light on Danteâ ™s Divine Comedy, the form of the Shakespearian theatre and the history of ancient architecture; The Art of Memory is an invaluable contribution to aesthetics and psychology, and to the history of philosophy, of science and of literature.

ChoiÂ’s third book features poems about historical and impending apocalypses, alongside musings on our responsibilities to each other and visions for our collective survival.Many have called our time dystopian. But The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On reminds us that apocalypse has already come in myriad ways for marginalized peoples.With lyric and tonal dexterity, these poems spin backwards and forwards in time--from Korean comfort women during World War II, to the precipice of climate crisis, to children wandering a museum in the future. These poems explore narrative distances and queer linearity, investigating on microscopic scales before soaring towards the universal. As she wrestles with the daily griefs and distances of this apocalyptic world, Choi also imagines what togetherness--between Black and Asian and other marginalized communities, between living organisms, between children of calamity and conquest--could look like. Bringing together Choi s signature speculative imagination with even greater musicality than her previous work, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On ultimately charts new paths toward hope in the aftermaths, and visions for our collective survival.Â

Alters the landscape of Lacanian film theory by revealing an emancipatory drive in transnational cinema.A significant intervention into Lacanian film studies, this book sets forth a new theory of the psychoanalytic Real in cinema. In psychoanalysis, the Real ruptures the Symbolic that organizes law, ideology, and other systems of belief, revealing fissures in this underlying order. The Cinema of the Real explores how transnational cinema and especially South Korean cinema facilitate an encounter with the Real, enabling the emergence of a new political subject. Paying close attention to form, Hyon Joo Yoo reveals the existence of an emancipatory drive in films by Jang Hun, Park Chan-wook, Lee Chang-dong, Jia Zhangke, Michael Haneke, Claire Denis, and Bong Joon-ho, among others. Their work in effect provides viewers with a picture of how it looks and feels to be on a trajectory in which the subject and her world can change. Far from being a passive consumer of images, Yoo s spectator enters the space of the Real. Theoretically rigorous and inventive, The Cinema of the Real offers new, transnationally attuned tools for conceptualizing the body, affect, femininity, and spectatorship, as well as fresh readings of both classic and contemporary films.

I think that, if required on pain of death to name instantly the most perfect thing in the universe, I should risk my fate on a bird s egg Thomas Wentworth Higginson, 1862How are eggs of different shapes made, and why are they the shape they are? When does the shell of an egg harden? Why do some eggs contain two yolks? How are the colours and patterns of an eggshell created, and why do they vary? And which end of an egg is laid first â “ the blunt end or the pointy end?These are just some of the questions A Birdâ ™s Egg answers, as the journey of a birdâ ™s egg from creation and fertilisation to its eventual hatching is examined, with current scientific knowledge placed within an historical context. Beginning with an examination of the stunning eggs of the guillemot, each of which is so variable in pattern and colour that no two are ever the same, acclaimed ornithologist Tim Birkhead then looks at the eggs of hens, cuckoos and many other birds, revealing weird and wonderful facts about these miracles of nature. Woven around and supporting these facts are extraordinary stories of the individuals who from as far back as Ancient Egypt have been fixated on the study and collection of eggs, not always to the benefit of their conservation.Firmly grounded in science and enriched by a wealth of observation drawn from a lifetime spent studying birds,A Birdâ ™s Egg is an illuminating and engaging exploration of the science behind eggs and the history of manâ ™s obsession with them.

Provocative essays on real-world ethical questions from the world s most influential philosopherPeter Singer is often described as the world s most influential philosopher. He is also one of its most controversial. The author of important books such as Animal Liberation, Practical Ethics, Rethinking Life and Death, and The Life You Can Save, he helped launch the animal rights and effective altruism movements and contributed to the development of bioethics. Now, in Ethics in the Real World, Singer shows that he is also a master at dissecting important current events in a few hundred words. In this book of brief essays, he applies his controversial ways of thinking to issues like climate change, extreme poverty, animals, abortion, euthanasia, human genetic selection, sports doping, the sale of kidneys, the ethics of high-priced art, and ways of increasing happiness. Singer asks whether chimpanzees are people, smoking should be outlawed, or consensual sex between adult siblings should be decriminalized, and he reiterates his case against the idea that all human life is sacred, applying his arguments to some recent cases in the news. In addition, he explores, in an easily accessible form, some of the deepest philosophical questions, such as whether anything really matters and what is the value of the pale blue dot that is our planet. The collection also includes some more personal reflections, like Singerâ ™s thoughts on one of his favorite activities, surfing, and an unusual suggestion for starting a family conversation over a holiday feast. Provocative and original, these essays will challengeâ ”and possibly changeâ ”your beliefs about a wide range of real-world ethical questions.
