![]() ![]() One Oankali from each gender comes together to form a mating group. They have three genders: male, female, and ooloi. The Oankali reside on a living, self-sustaining spaceship. The Oankali is an alien species that survives through gene trading, meaning that they must mix their DNA with another species’ DNA in order to continue evolving. Throughout the novel, Lilith's humanity is repeatedly tested, but she always clings to the hope that one day humans will repopulate the Earth and be free from the Oankali. Initially, she is repulsed by the appearance of the Oankali but she eventually learns to live among them. ![]() ![]() She is chosen because she is intelligent, tolerant, and rational. Lilith is chosen by her alien captors, the Oankali, to lead a group of 40 other humans to return to Earth. She is a twenty-six-year-old woman who Awakens aboard an alien spaceship 250 years after a nuclear war has killed off most of the human race and rendered Earth uninhabitable. ![]() ![]() ![]() An extensive author’s note includes a bit more biographical information about Erdos and points to George Csicsery’s 1993 film N is a Number as well as to Heiligman’s website for links for further exploration. She populates his adulthood with his affectionate colleagues, even including a graph with Erdos at the center of several dozen of the great mathematical minds of the 20th century to illustrate the whimsical “Erdos number” concept. She uses a slightly retro palette and line to infuse Erdos’ boyhood surroundings with numbers and diagrams, conveying the idea that young Paul lived and breathed math. The polished, disarming text offers Pham free rein for lively illustration that captures Erdos’ childlike spirit. Erdos was known for his ineptness at practical matters even as he was treasured, housed and fed by those with whom he collaborated in math. ![]() Unmoored from the usual ties of home and family once grown, he spent most of his career traveling the world to work with colleagues. Paul Erdos was sweetly generous throughout his life with the central occupation of his great brain: solving mathematical problems. Heiligman’s joyful, warm account invites young listeners and readers to imagine a much-loved boy completely charmed by numbers. An exuberant and admiring portrait introduces the odd, marvelously nerdy, way cool Hungarian-born itinerant mathematical genius. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() īaha’i Blog: Hi again Juliet! Can you tell me a little bit about the idea behind The Baha’i Faith in Words and Images and why you thought publishing a book like this was important? I actually just received my very own copy of the book in the mail, and a while back, I had interviewed Oneworld co-founder Juliet Mabey about Oneworld Publications here on Baha’i Blog, so I decided to get in touch with her again to find out more about this wonderful new book. Paul Slaughter spent three years travelling around the world to capture the photographs for the book, and John Danesh and Seena Fazel wrote the accompanying text. Many of you may have already seen the Youtube video where comedian Omid Djalili has a chat with John and Seena about the book (which I’ve included at the bottom of this post). The book combines breathtaking photography and intelligent accompanying text to produce a beautiful coffee-table book, which gives readers comprehensive coverage of the Faith’s teachings, texts, practices, community life and organization, with images reflecting its rich architectural heritage and the international diversity of its members. Oneworld Publications has just released a fantastic new book called The Baha’i Faith in Words and Images. ![]() ![]() ![]() Violet Moller's The Map of Knowledge takes us into the sparkling intellectual life that flourished there, highlighting the crucial rold played by Arab scholars in improving the cornerstone ideas of Western thought. ![]() After the great library at Alexandria was destroyed, Baghdad, Córdoba, Toledo, Salerno, and Palermo were rare outposts of knowledge in a dark world, places where scholars collected, translated, and shared texts. This thrilling history tracks three crucial books as they were passed hand to hand through seven cities during a perilous thousand-year journey of survival. "After the fall of Rome, as civilization collapsed and libraries burned, ancient knowledge that would eventuall fuel the Renaissance was at risk of being lost. ![]() ![]() ![]() Later films including Scorpio Rising (1963), Invocation of My Demon Brother (1969) and Lucifer Rising (1972–80) develop this exuberant visual language further and also involve an expansion of their film-technique repertoire. The result is a sexually charged, orgiastic mixture of myth and ecstasy somewhere between period film set, opera stage, Kabuki theater and nightclub. ![]() ![]() His 38-minute Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954) sees this dream logic tip completely into a surreal Technicolor color frenzy. Its black-and-white images appear governed by an archetypal dream logic: phallic fireworks explode, the protagonist’s guts are crudely cut open to reveal a compass in his viscera and a sailor walks through a shot with Christmas tree on his head. Subject matter in the short film includes homosexual cruising, sailor fetish, sexual violence and gore. Anger’s first work, the 14-minute Fireworks (1947), was so provocative that the young artist was hauled to court on obscenity charges. Though possessed of certain narrative traits, its real power lies in a specific kind of suggestion. ![]() His experimental montage technique eschews spoken dialogue. Even his earliest productions show the themes and artistic strategies that define his oeuvre. Anger’s keen perfectionism led him to assume all the usual filmmaking roles himself from the very beginning: In an unusual synthesis he handles all of the camera work, set design, costume design, film development and editing and acts as director, producer and actor in one. ![]() ![]() ![]() Night Shyamalan, the acclaimed director of The Village and The Sixth Sense.

Believe me, I will not spoil the ending for you, but I will try to pique your interest because some readers will like the plot of this book a lot. Many fantasies being written today are dark dystopias, excuses for dark and violent battles between good and evil. This is not one of them. Given that we have somewhat survived a two-year battle with a pandemic, most dystopias have lost readers. Not the case with this one. The book belongs to the genre of fantasy, with the adults being somewhat identifiable as normal human beings and the children in the book being unidentifiable as normal human beings. Then again, many people don't view children as normal human beings.
