These questions aside, Chatterjee’s work proves relevant to post-colonial scholars, political theorists and early modern historians, regardless of the region of specialization. His history is a discursive history of the modern world, a post-colonial counterpart to synthetic world histories that have appeared in recent years, such as C.A. Bayly’s The Birth of the Modern World, 1780–1914 and Eric Hobsbawm’s many ‘Age of …’ books, particularly his The Age of Empire, 1875-1914. (4) I wanted to show how central, how vital, how productive collaborations could be, whether it was the small collaboration on the theory side or the much bigger one on the observational side, and to see the human complementarity that made it possible to find out new things when people work together.” The problem here is that it is not how physics works. In physics, we have what is called the conservation of information. Even if you throw a book on fire, the information in the book will somehow be encoded in the heat and light ade in burning the book. Leonard Susskind gives a fantastic example in the book. empire safe from its own infamous origins. The secret veil could now be lifted. Clive’s history could be taught to British schoolchildren as a fable of moral instruction, to instill pride in their hearts not merely for the valor of their compatriots but also for the selfless service they were rendering to the people of the empire (p. 167).

All of this disregards entirely that I am already sort of tied up with a pseudo-career in a different scientific discipline and do not relish the thought of attending university again. Nor am I particularly skilled at focussing on multiple things, fond of starting over, or withholding anything of value from the theoretical physicists that they haven't already got covered.

In a further extract, “Copernicus and Bologna”, Rovelli writes about the value of a university education Did not like the art style at all, and the story is really weird and messed up? And at no point was I thinking 'wow, this is good I can't stop reading' it was actually more like, 'what the actual eff is happening here I NEED ANSWERS.'

I will close by saying I have definitely focused a lot on the weirdness of this graphic novel. But, in the midst of it all, the symbolism of the human condition, the complexities of difficult relationships, and the struggles of forbidden desires all make appearances. Several times I realized that I just read about and looked at images of something seemingly disturbing, but upon further reflection made so much sense. Often I could equate the scenario to real life.It could have been a pamphlet but they made it a book with a lot of empty spaces and charging like it's worth ₹100 (5 US dollars in purchasing power parity). Also, as a reader who is not using these texts for any academic purposes, I think Cox’s writing is so much easier to ‘digest’ (and much more enjoyable in general) than Hawking’s (only comparing this to a few of Hawking’s books that I’ve previously read). I think it might be important to clarify that – I’m not comparing them based on ‘who’s the better (astro)physicist’ or whose ‘work’ was more ‘important’; but only of whose writing/books I had found more ‘enjoyable’. Hope that helps? I like that the story is told using shifting viewpoints and told in small morsels. Keith was the character I latched onto, although Chris and Rob had their moments. There's no happy ending, though. Nobody magically comes up with a cure for the sex plague. People just deal with it as best they can.

Not all the kids are affected in the same way. Some can hide their deformities and "pass" as normal. Others are so badly maimed by the disease, they live like lepers in a colony in the woods. It’s always tempting to bask in the self-congratulatory delusion that if I just really concentrate on something hard enough I’d be able to understand it. But this book proved me wrong from the very first spacetime Penrose diagram that slowly sent my protesting brain over the event horizon and to the singularity while being simultaneously vaporized and spaghettified. You guys sound ****ed up . . . What're you on, anyway?" -- 'Jill's older sister,' a minor character coincidentally echoing what I'd like to ask the author after finishing this book Second, the question of possible imperial ambitions held by the nationalist political leadership of the new Indian state needs more careful analysis than was possible within the space of my book. I would suggest that the key lies in my distinction between empire as technique and empire as ideology. In ideological terms, the Indian political leadership was, for obvious historical reasons, overtly, loudly and, one need not doubt, sincerely anti-imperial. In terms of its technical uses of power, however, as I have suggested on p. 196, it used many of the same imperial techniques used by the British, such as, for instance, in the integration of the princely states into India, including the use of armed force in Hyderabad and Kashmir. There are many instances where one will find undisturbed continuities in the technologies of power employed by the erstwhile imperial rulers and the present state leadership in India. Such a textual reading may provide quite insightful for understanding Nabin Chandra Sen as well as nationalists who also reproduced this rhetoric, but does it apply to Muslim intellectuals of the same time period? Or, for that matter, to intellectuals grappling with these ideas in other regions of India? Since Muslims were the majority of Bengali speaking people at this time, readers have no way of assessing the manner in which these constructions actually represented anything beyond the Hindu intelligentsia. Or if there were discursive and intellectual encounters that transcended the boundaries that Nabin Chandra Sen, Akshaykumar Maitreya, and Girishchandra Ghosh represented.

I finished Charles Burns’s graphic novel in the middle of the night, and wow… I gotta say, it lingers like the tail end of a surreal, disturbing dream. That’s fitting, because a lot of the book’s characters feel like they’re caught up in a nightmare too. Well, the art was very lovely, and there were a lot of points at which I was like, " How does his brain manufacture this shit??" which is kind of the ultimate for art in one way, isn't it? But I do wish this had been around when I myself was a bad teenager, because I'm sure it would've affected me a lot more then. Burns does get at some extremely dark and real stuff about the horrific experience of adolescence, particularly that bizarre combo of fear, curiosity, and nihilism that drives so much self-destructive experimentation at that age. The depiction of drug culture and abuse is particularly disturbing here, in large part because Burns nails it so accurately. I am awed by the mind bending theorems proposed by Hawking and Bekenstein. some concepts explained below I started and stopped this book several times when it first arrive on my doorstep over a week ago —
