Barrett argues that emotions aren’t rigid and hardwired, but instead constructed concepts.īarrett spoke with Inverse about her book, how it contradicts classical scientific thought, and what it means for the future. Barrett found, however, that this wasn’t a universal fact: Sometimes, people felt anxious, other times depressed, and many times, people couldn’t distinguish between anxiety and depression.īarrett was fascinated by our individual experiences of emotion, and years later it became the basis of her most recent book, How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain. When neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett was in graduate school, she spent three years attempting to replicate long-heralded findings on self-esteem that suggested people compared themselves to an idealized version when they came up short, they were depressed. ![]()

It occurred to Cleary (while writing Henry Huggins) that all of the characters she had created thus far had no brothers or sisters. In the Henry Huggins books Beezus was one of Henry's friends, and her younger sister Ramona was generally a pest to Henry, Beezus and the other children. The Ramona books grew out of Cleary's earlier Henry Huggins series and take place in the same neighborhood. ![]() Sometimes known as the Beezus and Ramona series, as of 2012, the books were being marketed by HarperCollins as "The Complete Ramona Collection". Ramona and Her Mother received the National Book Award. Two books in the series were named Newbery Honor books, Ramona and Her Father and Ramona Quimby, Age 8. ![]() The final book, Ramona's World, was published in 1999. The first book, Beezus and Ramona, appeared in 1955. The Ramona books are a series of eight humorous children's novels by Beverly Cleary that center on Ramona Quimby, her family and friends.

In the beginning I kind of understood: she was being suffocated at home, coddled like a dainty little girl and never allowed to do anything. How does that make any sense?Īlso, I was soooooo frustrated by Faythe. But at the same time, the role of Alpha is only passed down through the female cats, so if you want to become Alpha you need to marry a female cat. There are very few female werecats (for some reason that is never explained) and they have absolutely nothing to say in this male-dominated world. But then there were a whole lot of things that just seemed bizarre. So I like the fact that they are werecats. ![]() ![]() I like the idea of it, because I have to admit I got a little tired of reading about werewolves.

Walter and Danny take it home, and when they find the jungle board game a bit too immature, they magically find another board wedged into the bottom of the box. ![]() It had been left there by Peter and Judy after their adventures in the original book of the same name. After tusseling in the park on the way home, one of them finds an old board game box next to a tree with the word "Jumanji" printed on it. The story revolves around Danny and Walter, two brothers who are constantly fighting and bickering. After searching for months at used and new bookstores, I just ordered it from Amazon. We checked it out so many times, they told us we had to stop for at least a two-week cycle every month so someone else could read it. So we checked out the book, Zathura, and he was hooked.

Meanwhile, here are some links to help you. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once again, through this logic, we see how human perception colors our understanding of the world because the earth is the center of our universe, we assume it must be the same for the entire Cosmos. This observation led early philosophers to theorize that the planets move on some sort of rotation (which they do) and to get it slightly wrong by suggesting that the earth is the center of the universe. When you think about it that way, it kind of makes you wonder how we could ever think our problems matter at all! ![]() But if your mind isn’t blown already, then let’s consider that each separate galaxy contains 1011 planets and 1011 galaxies! And as the author explains, that makes our planet only one of 1022 planets in the Cosmos. For most of us, “a hundred billion” just sounds like the kind of hyperbolic number we would have made up when we were kids! That’s why we use mathematical formulas to simplify it a little bit by writing it out as 1011. Most of us have never seen a billion of anything, let alone a billion galaxies, each with their own complex life cycles and solar systems. If you’re like most people, your brain can’t even stretch to imagine how much that really is. (And if you didn’t feel like your problems were insignificant before, get ready!) Because the Cosmos contains a hundred billion galaxies. But now that we know how we measure the Cosmos, let’s think about what it contains. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rowling insisted that the entire cast be British and Irish, with the three leads chosen in August 2000 following open casting calls. Production began in the United Kingdom in 2000, with Columbus being chosen to helm the film from a short list of directors that included Steven Spielberg and Rob Reiner.
