What makes Annika such a unique character is that she’s grown up in a mafia world. She is the total opposite of Creighton is just about every way except she’s completely drawn to him like a moth to a flame and even when Creigh gets up and walks away repeatedly from her, he still can’t stop thinking about her. Creighton was so much more than I was expecting and I love those kind of surprises.Īnnika Volkov is bright and shiny and loves to fill the quiet with talking. His passion for caring may have only extended to those in his very small circle and he may have seen those certain traits about himself as flaws, but what I love about finding the person who completes you is they don’t see your flaws, they recognize their other half. Take my breath away – stupendous reading!! Every single time Rina writes a book I’m blown away!! Her crafted writing and flushed out characters continually slay me.įrom the quiet and aloof Creighton King we were previously introduced to, I fell in love with the multitude of brilliance and depth that fascinated me not only in his singular focus of topics or subjects, but also in his awareness of everything or everyone around him.

The Righteous Mind addresses these questions-and more besides-but the book also functions as a kind of “state of the union” of moral psychology, as well as a presentation of the groundbreaking research of Haidt and his partners. “To better grasp the elusiveness of morality and religion, we need the empirical contribution of the psychological sciences.” What makes human beings moral? What is the relation between emotion, intuition, and morality? Are moral values products of reason (rational reflection) or of experimentation and socialization? Is morality innate, biological, and genetic, or socially constructed (or something in between)? Are there any moral principles, values, or intuitions that hold steady across cultures (i.e. Emotion, Intuition, and Morality: New Cognitive Tools for Creating Empathy I suspect that those who take the time to work through Haidt’s book, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion, will come away feeling a little more positive about the prospects of discussing our differences and-at the very least-gaining understanding of the values and concerns of those on opposite ends of the religious and political spectrum. He believes that moral psychology can contribute to our capacity to understand one another, to empathize, and to improve at working together for the good of the whole. Good people are deeply divided by politics and religion-but why? Never talk about politics and religion in polite company, they say. Indeed, this reads like a fragment of a larger story, an introduction to character and place that, while entertaining, skims the surface. Moning's newest foray contains suspense and plenty of setup.

The fever series by Karen Marie Moning (slow burn though. Drawing on elements from the paranormal world that bestseller Moning ( Spell of the Highlander This new, extended and updated version of the book brings the reader to the core of the matter, at the same time as it pays homage to indigenous ways of transmitting knowledge and promotes this knowledge's transforming power. Not only did she demonstrate beyond any question that indigenous research is important for building scholarship about our own cultures, she also showed in a convincing way that indigenous peoples' research has a place of its own in today's academia. Now in its eagerly awaited second edition, published in New Zealand by Otago University Press, this bestselling book has been substantially revised, with new case-studies and examples and important additions on new indigenous literature, and the role of research in indigenous struggles for social justice, which brings this essential volume urgently up-to-date.Īt the turn of the millennium Linda Tuhiwai Smith's trail-blazing book, Decolonizing Methodologies, was one of the greatest contributions towards instilling pride and dignity in indigenous peoples all over the world. Concepts such as 'discovery' and 'claiming' are discussed and an argument presented that the decolonisation of research methods will help to reclaim control over indigenous ways of knowing and being.

That doesn't bother Hammett. And guess what? The best scale for mimicking vocal melodies is the pentatonic," he said. "What’s more appropriate is coming up with melodies that are more like vocal melodies.

Now, he reveals what he loves most about the wah pedal, a tool that has become as synonymous with his playing as his use of pentatonic scales. Already this year, the 60-year-old musician has had to defend his solo on the lead 72 Seasons single "Lux Aeterna," poking holes in his detractors' arguments, which garnered an additional response from a YouTuber who wrote his own "improved" solo for that track. |
