  The Control of Nature is John McPhee's bestselling account of places where people are locked in combat with nature. Taking us deep into these contested territories, McPhee details the strategies and tactics through which people attempt to control nature. Most striking is his depiction of the main contestants: nature in complex and awesome guises, and those attempting to wrest control from her—stubborn, sometimes foolhardy, more often ingenious, and always arresting characters.

  Eastern Han Dynasty - Rebuilding...

  The Eastern Han Dynasty emerged from the chaos and turmoil that followed the collapse of Wang Mang’s Xin Dynasty. After usurping the Han throne in 9 CE, Wang Mang attempted radical reforms, including land redistribution and changes to the currency system. However, his policies destabilized the empire, leading to widespread discontent, natural disasters, and peasant uprisings. Among these, the most significant was the Red Eyebrows Rebellion, which contributed to the downfall of Wang Mang’s rule. In 23 CE, rebel forces stormed the capital, Chang’an, killing Wang Mang and leaving the empire in a state of disarray. 
  In the wake of this collapse, Liu Xiu, a distant relative of the former Han imperial family, seized the opportunity to restore Han rule. He first distinguished himself as a military leader, defeating rival factions and consolidating power. In 25 CE, he declared himself Emperor Guangwu and established the Eastern Han Dynasty, with Luoyang as its new capital. Unlike the Western Han, which had ruled from Chang’an, the relocation of the capital symbolized a fresh start, one that aimed to correct the failures of the past. 
  Emperor Guangwu’s early reign was marked by efforts to stabilize the empire and reestablish Han authority. He adopted a cautious approach to governance, reducing taxes and reviving Confucian principles to strengthen the legitimacy of his rule. Unlike Wang Mang’s drastic policies, Guangwu relied on gradual reforms to restore economic stability. He also worked to rebuild the imperial bureaucracy, appointing competent officials who could help him govern effectively. By reinforcing Confucianism as the guiding philosophy of the state, he sought to restore order and unity among the people.

  MEMENTO 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Memento is a psychological thriller directed by Christopher Nolan that follows Leonard Shelby, a man suffering from anterograde amnesia, which prevents him from forming new memories. Unable to remember anything beyond a few minutes, Leonard embarks on a quest to find the person responsible for the attack that killed his wife. Using Polaroid photographs and tattoos as his only means of retaining information, Leonard struggles to piece together the truth. The film explores themes of memory, perception, and self-deception, with its nonlinear narrative structure reflecting the fragmented and unreliable nature of Leonard's memory. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Jennifer Todd, impressed by Carrie-Anne Moss's performance in "The Matrix," suggested her for the role of Natalie. Despite competition for the role, Christopher Nolan cast Moss, believing she added depth to the character.” 
    
  “The idea for the film’s subject matter emerged when Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan took a road trip. By the time they reached Los Angeles, the entire screenplay had been discussed between them.” 
    
  “Although the opening sequence is played backward, all sound effects are normal, except for Teddy’s scream, which is reversed.” 
    
  “Guy Pearce improvised many of the voiceovers for Leonard’s character.”
