You see (no pun intended), the NIR spectrum offers us a lot of intel we would normally miss out on, especially as we are really dependent on light in the visible spectrum in order to be able to glimpse what’s going on around us at night. IR vision is absent from mammals (including humans) because mammalian eyes lack the proper receptors for it.īut humans can compensate for that shortcoming by improving our information processing. Frogs, snakes, and fish are among the many animals that have IR vision. Infrared vision has been around for million of years. This is why it’s important to address this topic and debunk some common misconceptions about it. On paper, this compliance is a must ergo a lot of people ask us questions like, “Is MultiCam NIR?” Some of the questions make sense, but others don’t. Our bet is you’ve probably come across the topic of NIR compliance and faced some issues with it. So who exactly is Professor Paulie and what could be the root cause of his madness. There is no doubt that something sinister is imminent, and things are quickly getting out of control. Where did the drug come from?įurther research shows the new drug could be from outer space and part of a larger plan by aliens looking to take over the planet. But the professor will soon discover a new drug that comes with telepathic properties. Paulie is tasked with researching about a weird plant growing behind the school. It features Professor Paulie Panther, a botanist crazy enough to perform drug experiments on his body, and the effects of the drugs make him act a little bit crazy.

Dash Shaw is an American comic author, animator, and cartoonist living in Brooklyn, New York. Every time I finished a page, that page would fall off the spine. Then the same thing happened with the third page, and the fourth, and the fifth, and so on. Strange, I thought or maybe even whispered in the middle of an empty plaza, and I continued reading with two pieces of paper in my hand. But when I finished both sides of the second page, that page also fell off. Was it me? Did I pull on it too harshly? I decided to keep reading. I was the only person there.Īfter sitting on the bench and ignoring the first introduction by the translator Robert Bly, and then a second one by Isaac Bashevis Singer - one must always jump over introductions or forewords of any kind - I immediately began to read the novel, originally published in Norway in 1890, about an unnamed narrator and struggling writer who is wasting away from hunger.īut as soon as I finished reading both sides of the first page, that page fell off the spine and I was left holding it in my hand, a bit confused. Too perfectly, I thought, as if someone had left it there just for me. Suddenly, I came upon a worn paperback copy of Knut Hamsun's early novel, "Hunger," perfectly placed on a green bench in a plaza.

Now, as their opponent closes in on its true prize-an ancient doorway, long buried, that leads to the chambers at the center of creation itself-Sancia and her friends glimpse a chance at reaching it first, and with it, a last desperate opportunity to stop this unbeatable foe. Yet despite their efforts, their enemy marches on-implacable. With its strength at their backs, they’ve freed a handful of their enemy’s hosts from servitude, even brought down some of its fearsome, reality-altering dreadnaughts. To fight it, they’ve used scriving technology to transform themselves and their allies into an army-a society-that’s like nothing humanity has seen before. This time, they’re not facing robber-baron elites, or even an immortal hierophant, but an entity whose intelligence is spread over half the globe-a ghost in the machine that uses the magic of scriving to possess and control not just objects, but human minds. But the war they’re fighting now is one even they can’t win. Sancia, Clef, and Berenice have gone up against plenty of long odds in the past. A god wages war-using all of humanity as its pawns-in the unforgettable conclusion to the Founders trilogy. Here Offill hits on a perennial challenge for environmentalists and journalists: how does one adequately convey the gravity of the climate crisis without desensitising people on the one hand, and overwhelming them with despair on the other? “They are all about composting toilets and water conservation and electric cars and how to live lightly on the earth while thinking ahead for seven generations.” Later, when Lizzie joins Sylvia on travels, she notes that “people are really sick of being lectured to about the glaciers”. “I swear the hippie letters are a hundred times more boring than the end-timer ones,” Lizzie notes. The podcast listeners are intrigued by the usual environmental and technological catchphrases: the Anthropocene, how to save the bees, surveillance capitalism, the internet of things. Lizzie begins supplementing her income by answering emails for Sylvia, a former academic turned environmental futurist, whose popular podcast, Hell and High Water, has turned her into a regular on the speaking circuit.

He lives in a world where the words for crisps, biscuits and sausage rolls exist - but the items themselves do not, nor does he seem to think this is odd. Our title character, Piranesi, is another strange fellow. (Thankfully not nearly as long as those awaiting magic's return in Jonathan Strange.) Then those of us who fell in love with her worlds had a desperately long wait. The book became an international bestseller, and was followed by a collection of short stories, The Ladies of Grace Adieu. In her new novel Piranesi, British writer Susanna Clarke limns a magic far more intrinsic than the kind commanded through spells a magic that is seemingly part of the fabric of the universe and as powerful as a cosmic engine - yet fragile nonetheless.Ĭlarke stunned readers 16 years ago with her mesmerizing tale of magic's return to England in her debut novel, Jonathan Strange & Mr. What is the nature of magic?

Their timing could not have been better-the Barrow Gang pulled its first heist in 1932 when most Americans, reeling from the Great Depression, were desperate for escapist entertainment. In Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde, bestselling author Jeff Guinn combines exhaustive research with surprising, newly discovered material to tell the real tale of two kids from a filthy Dallas slum who fell in love and then willingly traded their lives for a brief interlude of excitement and, more important, fame. The real story is completely different-and far more fascinating. Forget everything you think you know about Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker-previous books and films, including the brilliant 1967 movie starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, have emphasized the supposed glamour of America's most notorious criminal couple, thus contributing to ongoing mythology. The prose throughout is by turns lyric and clear, meditative and reportorial-a combination that suits the equal importance she puts on search and on meaning itself. may constitute a failure of moral imagination, but it absolutely fails to imagine the way the living and the dead remain connected, no matter how the living feel about it,” Kisner writes, reflecting on the role of coroners. Those moments stand out especially when Kisner deconstructs attitudes toward the body: “Americans’ unwillingness to prioritize how we deal with the dead. Her essays-about medical examiners, young evangelicals, and a border-town debutante ball, among other topics-are sharpest when Kisner explores distinctions of inside and outside. With the comforting presence of an open-minded, deeply curious narrator, Kisner attempts to come to grips with some of the stubborn mental habits of modern Americans: an inability to accept death, a penchant for piousness, and a damaging insistence on whiteness as the norm. society in a neatly poised, sympathetic, and refreshingly unpreachy collection of 13 essays.
