' Filled with humour, healing, and heady good times (and, yes, that is a naughty pun)' Vulture ![]() ![]() ![]() "There is filigree over all of this that only Stephenson could conjure.(.) There are times when you wonder if Reamde is the smartest dumb novel you have ever read or the dumbest smart novel." - Tom Bissell, The New York Times Book Review But Reamde, at a certain point, becomes less a novel than a book-shaped IV bag from which plot flows. That he is even able to keep this big, careening, recreational-vehicular novel on the road during its hairpin narrative turns says a lot about him as a plot juggler and information wrangler. "Stephenson’s novels have always been a little nuts, but thoughtfully nuts.On the other hand, Reamde is awfully exciting, and perhaps for the manically productive Stephenson, it amounts to a lark, a palate cleanser" - Laura Miller, The Guardian (.) A liberal sprinkling of social satire gives the novel a bit of edge (.) Adding gangsters and terrorists and spies may once have seemed like a great way to spice up the subject of virtual, video game-based economies, but eventually the seasoning takes over the dish. "Like Stephenson's most critically acclaimed novel, Cryptonomicon, Reamde combines meticulous observation of the stranger socioeconomic effects wrought by technology with rousing fusillades of adventure.General information | review summaries | our review | links | about the authorī+ : solid, large-scale - if occasionally over-detailed - adventure tale Trying to meet all your book preview and review needs. ![]() ![]() The Dames are made up of four drivers-all under age 37.

Walk into any motorsport event, and you’ll be hit with the overpowering smell of gas and hot rubber, and the near-deafening sound of revving engines. ![]() ![]() Indeed, among the elements that make the book so good are its personal honesty and lack of pretentiousness, characteristics that shine through the writing, bespeaking the evolution of a strong and remarkable character. $5.95.ĬARRIACOU is an actual West Indian island as well as the isle of Audre Lorde's imagination Zami is ''a Carriacou name for women who work together as friends and lovers.'' And while the publisher's claim that in ''Zami'' Miss Lorde ''creates a new form, biomythography, combining elements of history, biography and myth,'' is a bit pretentious, the book is, actually, an excellent and evocative autobio-graphy.

These philosophical questions and issues should be taken within the context of there being a large amount of mathematics and (as it were) pure physics in Einstein’s Relativity: The Special and the General Theory - far more than you’d see in most (or even all ) contemporary “popular science” books. I’ll also assume that at least a certain degree of ignorance (or naivety) - on my own part - will be displayed about the detailed physics of general relativity. The essay will also include those intuitive questions which laypersons may ask about Einstein’s theory. Such issues will be prompted by Einstein’s own words on this matter. ![]() This essay will raise largely philosophical issues concerning Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity. ![]() ![]() I would ask my students to write about the situation, how they handled it, how they think Isaac's character would have dealt with the situation, and what they would do differently looking back now.
