Who is in a better position to understand Kant's philosophy: his 18 th Century contemporaries or today's scholars? As we move further from Kant's day and age, we have the noteworthy advantage over Kant's contemporaries of having more of Kant's thought available to us. We can approach the question of the value of this volume by addressing another interesting question first. It is an invaluable resource for understanding the specific early modern philosophical context in which Kant worked and, in turn, Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and his philosophy more broadly. Kant's Critique of Pure Reason : Background Source Materials is a collection of mostly first-time translations of works by nine of Kant's influential philosophical contemporaries in Germany, edited and translated by Eric Watkins. ![]() ![]() ![]() This gorgeous account of the expedition not only shows how Humboldt honed his groundbreaking understanding of the natural world but also illuminates the man and his passionĪlexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. ![]() ![]() She gives us an intimate portrait of the man who predicted human-induced climate change, fashioned poetic narrative out of scientific observation, and influenced iconic figures such as Simón Bolívar, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, and John Muir. Now Andrea Wulf partners with artist Lillian Melcher to bring this daring expedition to life, complete with excerpts from Humboldt's own diaries, atlases, and publications. His theories and ideas were profoundly influenced by a five-year exploration of South America. His restless life was packed with adventure and discovery, but his most revolutionary idea was a radical vision of nature as a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. ![]() A breathtakingly illustrated and brilliantly evocative recounting of Alexander Von Humboldt's five-year expedition in South America-from the author of Magnificent Rebels and the New York Times bestseller The Invention of Nature.Īlexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Unable either to tie the giant fish to the back of the tiny vessel or haul it on board, he proceeds to hold the line for an unspecified number of days and nights.ĭespite suffering intense physical pain, Santiago feels compassion for the captured animal.

Is the university seriously suggesting all this literature is ringed with warnings?’ 'Many great works of literature have included references to farming, fishing, whaling, or hunting. Jeremy Black, emeritus professor of history at the University of Exeter, added: ‘This is particularly stupid given the dependency of the economy of the Highlands and Islands on industries such as fishing and farming. Much of the violence in the story is rooted in the natural world. ‘The world is a violent place and it is counterproductive to pretend otherwise. ![]() ![]() ![]() One is his father’s, which has a Scottish burr and a rhythm tied to the seasons and necessities of sheep-farming. One is his own, of course - a distinctive, insistent, poetic voice. The question of voice in this book is hard to pin down, for a memoir, because Doig is trying to create three voices. It is a kind of terroir deeper than any vine can grow. In the end, it’s Doig’s contention (which he never quite makes explicit) that one shapes the other and the other shapes one, in ways we may never quite understand. This comes from the two driving forces of the book smashing together: voice and place, place and voice, tangling and rushing as if there were nothing different about the two and yet everything to separate them. Ivan Doig’s memoir about his childhood and adolescence in rural Montana, This House of Sky, is an interestingly angular book, all joints and rough skin and knobby knees. ![]() ![]() He immediately found himself unable to communicate with troops in the field.

Uplifting, inspiring and rich in stories from Elizabeth’s own life, How to Fail reveals that failure is not what defines us rather it is how we respond to it that shapes us as individuals.īecause learning how to fail is actually learning how to succeed better. It’s a book about learning from our mistakes and about not being afraid. Part memoir, part manifesto, and including chapters on dating, work, sport, babies, families, anger and friendship, it is based on the simple premise that understanding why we fail ultimately makes us stronger. I have evolved more as a result of things going wrong than when everything seemed to be going right. Out of crisis has come clarity, and sometimes even catharsis. If I have learned one thing from this shockingly beautiful venture called life, it is this: failure has taught me lessons I would never otherwise have understood.

Program directors Valerie Boyd (Narrative Nonfiction) and Nate Kohn (Screenwriting) note that the low-residency structure allows working professionals to succeed in the program by offering flexible schedules and no need to give up their jobs or uproot their lives while pursuing the MFA. Many students and alumni of the six-year-old program-on both the Narrative Nonfiction and the Screenwriting tracks-have found success. However, students in Grady’s MFA program in Narrative Media Writing program likely would agree that publishing a book or producing a script is a desired outcome of their degree. The definition of “success” is subjective. Please view the installment about the Screenwriting track here. This installment illustrates a sampling of the paths taken by those in the Narrative Nonfiction track. This is the first of a two-part series discussing a few successes earned by students, faculty and alumni of the low-residency MFA program in Narrative Media Writing. ![]() |
