Design a Book CoverĬombine art and graphic design with literature when you have kids originate book covers for a Shakespeare play. Discuss the difficulty of encapsulating some concepts in brief images and compare them with Shakespeare’s word choices. Take things a step further and remove words from the equation entirely! Have students devise book covers or re-write a scene or sonnet using only emojis to tell the tale. Have your class re-write a scene or sonnet in text, tweets, or other social media for a fun twist. The language may be archaic, but the stories are endlessly modern. They must justify their color and style choices for that character-a fun way to do character analysis. Have students create a mask for a specific character to wear to the Romeo and Juliet masquerade ball.

Intricate, gripping, and full of twists and turns, Diagnosis puts readers in the doctor’s place. Sanders shows how making the right diagnosis requires expertise, painstaking procedure, and sometimes a little luck. In each of these cases, the path to diagnosis-and treatment-is winding, sometimes frustratingly unclear. A young elephant trainer in a traveling circus, once head-butted by a rogue zebra, is suddenly beset with splitting headaches, as if someone were “slamming a door inside his head.” Now the rash has turned purple and has spread across her entire body in whiplike streaks. A middle-aged woman returns to her doctor, after visiting two days earlier with a mild rash on the back of her hands. Hours later, he collapses on the dance floor with crippling stomach pains. And yet she is often confounded by the cases she describes in her column: unexpected collections of symptoms that she and other physicians struggle to diagnose.Ī twenty-eight-year-old man, vacationing in the Bahamas for his birthday, tries some barracuda for dinner. Jayne B Reviews / Book Reviews Doctor / medicine / non-fiction Comments Off on REVIEW: Diagnosis by Lisa SandersĪs a Yale School of Medicine physician, the New York Times bestselling author of Every Patient Tells a Story, and an inspiration and adviser for the hit Fox TV drama House, M.D., Lisa Sanders has seen it all. This book of cartoons seemed like it would be funny but ended up disappointing and boring me. “A prescient book for these times.” - Newsarama The panels range from gently clever to surprisingly profound to laugh-out-loud.” - Publishers Weekly “This playful, self-aware collection of strips and gags on the joys and frustrations of reading and writing is equal parts lighthearted and sincere. I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf is the perfect gift for bookworms of all ages. In this lighthearted collection of one- and two-page comics, writer-artist Grant Snider explores bookishness in all its forms, and the love of writing and reading, building on the beloved literary comics featured on his website, Incidental Comics. We collect them, decorate with them, are inspired by them, and treat our books as sacred objects. But some of us surround ourselves with books. We learn to read at an early age, and as we grow older we shed our beloved books for new ones. It’s no secret, but we are judged by our bookshelves. A look at the culture and fanaticism of book lovers, from the beloved New York Times illustrator and creator of Incidental Comics. Rather, they are a critical part of the process of developing science and technology they can inspire or, indeed, discourage researchers to turn what is thinkable into new technologies and they can frame the ways in which the ‘public’ reacts to scientific innovations. The paper aims to show that popular culture and imagination do not simply follow and reflect science. This paper examines the visual and verbal imagery surrounding the various ‘submarines’ that have travelled through popular imagination, from Jules Verne’s Nautilus, driven by Captain Nemo, up to the most iconic and most recent representation of nanotechnology, from the journey through the hidden space of the world’s oceans on board the hidden space of a luxurious submarine, to expeditions into the hidden space of the human body as portrayed in films such as Fantastic Voyage, Inner Space and beyond. They continuously serve to sciencefictionalise science fact and blur the boundaries between cultural visions and scientific reality. Vehicular utopias, such as Jules Verne’s voyage under the sea, and dream machines, such as nanorobots, have tended to fill this surreal gap and have had an immediate and long lasting hold on public imagination. The view that nanotechnology will lead to tiny robotic submarines navigating our bloodstream is ubiquitous but there is an almost surreal gap between what the technology is believed to promise and what it actually delivers. For her work as a children's writer she received the Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1966.

He was one of the great humanitarian French freethinkers and the only thing wrong with them is that they make mercy even colder than justice.I remember reading some Father Brown stories at least 20 years ago, but possibly as long as 30 years ago. When the cornered culprit expresses surprise that Father Brown knows so much about crime and criminals, Father Brown replies: Has it never struck you that a man who does next to nothing but hear men's real sins is not likely to be wholly unaware of human evil? Read more The most memorable passage in the story explains why Father Brown makes such a good detective. Several of the stories have elements of the fantastic, so it might be a good choice for fantasy readers looking for a change.The first story, “The Blue Cross”, is my favorite, and it's a great introduction to the subsequent stories. Chesterton doesn't share everything that Father Brown observes until the final summation. If you're the type of reader who enjoys trying to piece together clues to solve the crime before the solution is revealed, the Father Brown stories probably aren't for you. His physical description reminds me of Hercule Poirot, while his methods remind me just a bit of Sherlock Holmes.
