And yet, when his partner, Anna, adopted Samson, the legal documents listed Belc as “the natural mother of the child.”īy considering how the experiences contained under the umbrella of “motherhood” don’t fully align with Belc’s own experience, The Natural Mother of the Child journeys both toward and through common perceptions of what it means to have a body and how that body can influence the perception of a family. As a nonbinary, transmasculine parent, giving birth to his son Samson clarified his gender identity. Krys Malcolm Belc has thought a lot about the interplay between parenthood and gender. Krys Malcolm Belc's visual memoir-in-essays explores how the experience of gestational parenthood-conceiving, birthing, and breastfeeding his son Samson-eventually clarified his gender identity.

That's why, we're told, there are so few women in science, so few men in the laundry room – different brains are just suited to different things. Gender inequalities are increasingly defended by citing hard-wired differences between the male and female brain.

The happy news for book lovers is that every year, I read and review more good books than this list can hold. Some books I start to read and discard others receive a much-deserved pan still others I never get to for one reason or another. I wade through those books (and the publisher's catalogues that precede them) and decide what to review. Maybe he'll grow up to be a book critic! For, in the dreary light of early January while the natural world slumbers, I, too, open up a fresh computer file and begin the process of putting together my new list - my "Best Books of the Year" list.Įvery week throughout the year, I receive roughly 100 new books delivered to my home an additional 25 or more delivered to my office. My friend's obsessive 10-year-old son begins writing his next year's list for Santa as soon as the last Christmas present of the current season has been torn open. Bertie discovers that Chuffy has fallen head over heels in love with an American heiress, Pauline Stoker, who unbeknown to Chuffy was once engage to Bertie.

The noise he makes while playing sparks complaints from his London neighbours which he first hears about from a little liked acquaintance, Sir Roderick Glossop. In this tale Bertie Wooster has taken up a musical instrument, the banjolele. Certain terms jarred, and rightly, but the underlying wit and warmth remains. Having last read any of his work several decades ago I was interested to see how I would react in the changed climate of contemporary care over expression. Wodehouse was a prolific author, much admired for the gentle humour and droll sense of the ridiculous. Wodehouse, is one of a series of five classic Jeeves and Wooster novels being reissued by Arrow. The lord is glorious, magnificent, almighty, eternal, splendid, and also just a son of a bitch. Translator Margaret Jull Costa carefully holds the thread of his winding sentences, which snake across pages and pages, running right through the direct speech, one sentence sometimes covering entire, fully-realised arguments and half a dozen switches in register, one moment Biblical-stately, the next earthy and idiomatic. Every little barb, every little twist is absolutely deliberate. He's often funny, and thought-provoking, and delightfully mischievous, savouring the details of his own defiance. Saramago is a first-person narrator who keeps himself just out the corner of your eye. The assault on all these stories we seemed to know - undermined sometimes in narrative details, sometimes merely in tone - is a subtle and not-so-subtle challenge to what he calls "the official history". Readers of Saramago's controversial The Gospel According to Jesus Christ will recognise the irreverence here, but there is more to his anachronistic unpicking of the Old Testament than a mere wish to shock. And, by incorporating his own readily visualizable formulation of quantum mechanics, Feynman created a diagrammatic version of QED that made calculations much simpler and also provided visual insights into the mechanisms of quantum electrodynamic processes. By extending the formalism developed by Dirac in 1933, which related quantum and classical descriptions of the motion of particles, Feynman revolutionized the quantum mechanical understanding of the nature of particles and waves. The focus, as the title suggests, is quantum electrodynamics (QED), the part of the quantum theory of fields that describes the interactions of the quanta of the electromagnetic field-light, X rays, gamma rays-with matter and those of charged particles with one another. Mautner Memorial Lecture series-is perhaps the best example of his ability to communicate both the substance and the spirit of science to the layperson. QED-the edited version of four lectures on quantum electrodynamics that Feynman gave to the general public at UCLA as part of the Alix G. Famous the world over for the creative brilliance of his insights into the physical world, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman also possessed an extraordinary talent for explaining difficult concepts to the nonscientist.
