This theater is so intimate and beautiful and it's lovely to see your faces. But meanwhile, stay with us for an incredible conversation with David Eagleman. Um, he's actually in the audience at TED, and um, I make reference to him. ![]() He will be kicking off a new series starting in, in June. Now, as you'll hear, this is the last official interview I'll be doing on The TED Interview, and that's because there is an amazing new host taking over. The audience has extraordinary questions. So I think, I think you're in for an absolute treat of a conversation. I mean, I introduce him from the TED stage, so I'm not gonna tell you all about him here, but, um, the way that he thinks about the human brain is incredible.Īnd, um, let's face it, we all care about our brains. ![]() Now then, uh, this is a, a special episode that was recorded live at the TED Conference featuring one of the most amazing minds there is out there: David Eagleman. This is Chris Anderson, welcoming you to The TED Interview. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1976, Wells, initially on bass guitar, formed another hard rock band, Rose Tattoo, with Leigh Johnston on rhythm guitar, Tony Lake on lead vocals and Michael Vandersluys on drums. As a member of Buffalo Wells co-wrote the album tracks: "Leader" (1972), "Pound of Flesh" (1973), "On My Way" and "Essukay" (both 1976). He also appeared on three tracks of their posthumous album, 'Average Rock 'n' Roller' (July 1977). Wells remained with Buffalo for their albums, 'Dead Forever' (June 1972), 'Volcanic Rock' (July 1973), 'Only Want You for Your Body' (June 1974) and 'Mother's Choice' (March 1976). Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, describes Buffalo as "one of Australia's pioneering heavy rock outfits alongside Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs and Blackfeather, Buffalo was one of the loudest and heaviest bands of the day". ![]() In August 1971 Wells, Balbi, Baxter and Tice were joined by Alan Milano on co-lead vocals (ex-Mandala) to form Buffalo as a heavy rock group. In early 1971 Jones was replaced in the group by Paul Balbi on drums and Jensen made way for John Baxter on guitar. Wells, as a member of Head, had moved to Sydney. In Brisbane in 1968 Wells, Jones on drums, and Tice formed a blues band, Head (1968–71), with Neil Jensen on guitar and Peter Leighton. His next group was Strange Brew (1966–67) with Tice and Ray Frost. In 1966 he was the bass guitarist of The Odd Colours with Ronnie Hausert, Steve Jones, Eddy Staarink, and Dave Tice on lead vocals. ![]() Peter William Wells, was born on 31 December 1946. ![]() ![]() Prepare for some wonderfully preposterous plot developments as she identifies the boys’ prep school and persuades her wealthy father to grease the wheels and almost instantaneously transfer her there. Jade, a modern incarnation of Lady Macbeth, is utterly ruthless in her quest to bring down her abusers. This book left me open-mouthed and feeling like I’d just been through a force nine gale. Steel yourself for Foul is Fair by Hannah Capin. When her drink is spiked and she is seriously sexually assaulted, Jade swears bloody vengeance on the ‘golden boy’ perpetrator Duncan, and his band of sidekicks. ![]() ![]() Beautiful, fierce Jade, who gatecrashes a glittering LA party with her ‘coven’ of best friends. ‘Fair is foul and foul is fair,’ a famous line from the opening scene of Macbeth, itself the inspiration for this steamroller of a revenge novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So you can imagine my surprise that the real life Beatrix Potter was turned into a mystery solving detective of sorts for a fictional murder mystery series. Even as an adult I cherish the beauty and simplicity of the BBC mini series made with her stories. I love her whimsical characters cats in jackets, bunnies with dresses, and washerwoman (or should I say washer-hedgehog?) Mrs. Let me tell you about the Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter.Īre you a Beatrix Potter fan? If you don’t know who she is, but the name sounds familiar, Beatrix Potter is well known around the world for her charming stories about animals and watercolor paintings for children, particularly Peter Rabbit. So you may be surprised that I knowingly picked up a murder mystery, let alone a murder mystery series. Ghosts, theft, art heists, and car chases are as dark as I like to get with my mystery stories. ![]() The only mystery series I love to read have been Nancy Drew novels. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There are NO depictions of arms or torture in the Cave Paintings. Widespread fighting and fortification building became a way of life from the Bronze Age up until now, but this is "not the case in the Paleolithic and Neolithic". Not only 600+ pictures of the artifacts, not only charts and timelines showing perspective and flows, but scaled drawings of structures and communities clarified by the extensive excavations.Ībundant irrefutable evidence that "civilization" flourished in Old Europe between 65 BC (and in Crete until 1450 BC), and this period was characterized by art, refinement, cleanliness, trade, and No War. She brings light to the very concept of "civilization". She combined excavation archeology with Linguistics and the study of Myth, coining the terms "archeomythology", "Old Europe" (gynocentric pre-androcratic communities), and "Kurgan". By developing a more penetrating but just as rigorous methodology, Gimbutas fills in the "story" of the transition from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age in European antiquity. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She finds a job at Birchbark Books (the small independent store Louise Erdrich founded). Emerging, blinking and disoriented, into a changed world, Tookie reconnects with Pollux, the police officer who’d arrested her they fall in love and marry. She’d thought she was helping a friend and knew nothing about the drugs, but nonetheless “received an impossible sentence of sixty years from the lips of a judge who believed in an after-life.”Īfter seven years in prison, Tookie’s sentence is unexpectedly commuted to time served. In her aimless, hard-drinking and drug-addled, intermittently employed thirties, Tookie was arrested for “stealing a corpse” stuffed with drugs and transporting it across state lines. ![]() Its narrator, a Native American woman named Tookie, is perhaps Erdrich’s most indelible creation: hilarious, smart, wry, with, as she puts it, both “a dinosaur heart, cold, massive, indestructible, a thick meaty red” and “a glass heart, tiny and pink, that can be shattered.” Unlike her last novel, “ The Night Watchman,” which ranged across a wide variety of perspectives, “The Sentence” is told almost exclusively from the point of view of one person. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He was killed by a sniper’s bullet at the Second Battle of the Marne in 1918 at the age of 31. ![]() ![]() He enlisted in the New York National Guard and was deployed to France with the 69th Infantry Regiment (the famous "Fighting 69th") in 1917. Many writers, including notably Ogden Nash, have parodied Kilmer’s work and style-as attested by the many parodies of “Trees”.Īt the time of his deployment to Europe during World War I, Kilmer was considered the leading American Roman Catholic poet and lecturer of his generation, whom critics often compared to British contemporaries G. Several critics-including both Kilmer’s contemporaries and modern scholars-have disparaged Kilmer’s work as being too simple and overly sentimental, and suggested that his style was far too traditional, even archaic. While most of his works are largely unknown, a select few of his poems remain popular and are published frequently in anthologies. Though a prolific poet whose works celebrated the common beauty of the natural world as well as his Roman Catholic religious faith, Kilmer was also a journalist, literary critic, lecturer, and editor. Joyce Kilmer (born as Alfred Joyce Kilmer December 6, 1886– July 30, 1918) was an American writer and poet mainly remembered for a short poem titled “Trees” (1913), which was published in the collection Trees and Other Poems in 1914. ![]() ![]() She had a happy childhood as the last of fifteen children, born to the Empress of Austria. ![]() As a character and actual historical personage, Marie is most interesting. Excess, greed, avarice-all the classic seven sins are apparent in this era, but also the sweetness of human bonds. She and Louis XVI, her husband are tragic characters in a hate-filled, hysterical time that is often romanticized by modern shows such as Les Miserables. Understanding that she was so young and high-spirited allows the reader to see the tragic train of events unfolding. As one who hated the super-conflated etiquette of the French court, Marie was so ill-suited to the manipulations and contrivances of the age and escaped reality and restriction to Trianon whenever she could. Holt has done fastidious homework and while much of the intimate detail is fictionalized, Marie Antoinette and the circumstances of the French Revolution are drawn in great detail, from the historical events down to fantastic three-foot high hairstyles and her love of beautiful gowns to the little country home, the Trianon, that she had built on the grounds of Versailles to live her conception of pastoral idyllic life. ![]() I love history and do enjoy this genre, as long as it is well written. ![]() ![]() Well, Victoria Holt, is another pen name for the same author. As a child I remember my sister loving Jean Plaidy and historical fiction. ![]() |
