  Senility and the brain cells - 1 June 1980  
  • Is the human brain deteriorating? 
  • The human brain is not a particular brain, it doesn’t belong to me or to anyone 
  else, it is the human brain which has evolved for millions of years. 
  • Can the brain not only be aware of its own movement but can the brain itself 
  have enough energy to break all patterns and move out of it? 
  • Is psychological knowledge not in itself a factor of the shrinking of the brain? 
  • The ending of suffering comes about when the self, which is built up through 
  time, is no longer there. 
  • If there is an insight into the nature of time the very brain cells which are part 
  of time break down. The brain cells mutate, bring about a change in 
  themselves. 
  • Meditation is insight.

  Too Good to Be Altogether Lost -...

  Pamela Smith Hill

  Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the well-known Little House series, wrote stories from her childhood because they were "too good to be altogether lost." With the release of NBC's Little House on the Prairie series in 1974, Wilder was well on her way to becoming an international literary superstar. Simultaneously, however, the novels themselves began to slip from view, replaced by an onslaught of assumptions and questions about Wilder's values and politics and even about the books' authenticity. From the 1980s, a slow but steady critical crescendo began to erode Wilder's literary reputation. 
   
   
   
  In Too Good to Be Altogether Lost, Wilder expert Pamela Smith Hill dives back into the Little House books, closely examining Wilder's text, her characters, and their stories. Hill reveals that these gritty, emotionally complex novels depict a realistic coming of age for a girl in the American West. This realism in Wilder's novels, once perceived as a fatal flaw, can lead to essential discussions not only about the past but about the present—and the underlying racism young people encounter when reading today. Hill's fresh approach to Wilder's books shows how this author forever changed the literary landscape of children's and young adult literature in ways that remain vital and relevant today.

  This gripping book by the prominent Russian journalist and analyst Sergey Shelin aims to explain why most Russians suddenly "understood" the need to attack Ukraine and Europe and are confident that their country is on the right path.
  
  Shelin, who was declared a "foreign agent" by the Putin regime and forced to leave Russia, argues that while most Russians now want a break from war, they are not going to apologize for the aggression and do not believe it stems from Vladimir Putin's actions. They have come to see Donald Trump as the only Western leader who understands and respects Russia and have embraced a kind of alternative West led by Trump and the European far right.
