But his second language was spoken English-and no sooner did he learn it than he was called upon to act as his father's ears and mouth in the stores and streets of the neighborhood beyond their silent apartment in Brooklyn. Quite a challenge for a young boy, and one of many he would face. "Does it rise and fall like the ocean? Does it come and go like the wind?" Such were the kinds of questions that Myron Uhlberg's deaf father asked him from earliest childhood, in his eternal quest to decipher, and to understand, the elusive nature of sound. "Does sound have rhythm?" my father asked. ![]() By turns heart-tugging and hilarious, Myron Uhlberg's memoir tells the story of growing up as the hearing son of deaf parents-and his life in a world that he found unaccountably beautiful, even as he longed to escape it. ![]() ![]() "She died as she wanted, with dignity and privacy.

The series - an Apostrophe S production, in association with Public Affairs Television and Alvin H. It is television that really does have something for everyone. Joseph Campbell has been celebrated as an expert in his field, owning a unique skill to storytelling and a splendid method of presenting myths. Bill Moyers’ Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth is truly television that deals with universal truths. ![]() There is practically no forum on television for news of the mind and ideas of all persuasions. Moyers has done something notable bringing this program to TV. The executive producers of ‘Joseph Campbell: The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers’ are Joan Konner and Alvin H. Finally complete, and offered for the first time as a boxed set, here is Campbell’s vision of human myth, presented in all its glory.

This series is made up of fifteen hours of talks that Campbell himself believed summed up his views on the one great story of mankind. ![]() storytelling, the goddess, and finally what we understand of eternity. One concrete proof: the book compiled to accompany the series is now solidly ensconced on the list of paperback best sellers. Those familiar with the six-part PBS series on Joseph Campbell will especially. It takes a Bill Moyers to come along and insist that there is a significant and thoughtful audience looking for something beyond a steady diet of sitcoms and music videos.

When pressed to define American television at its best, I find myself frequently mentioning the name of Bill Moyers. ![]() ![]() It also means that at the end of the second part of the A Dance with Dragons everyone will be caught up and all the characters, that are still alive, will be ready for The Winds of Winter. I think that’s a great idea because we’re not losing their stories by having the characters all pushed into one book so we get lengthy, descriptive events that don’t feel rushed. It’s been about four or so years since I read the fourth book in the Game of Thrones series so it was very helpful that George R.R Martin wrote a little introduction reminding readers that the events of this book happen at the same time as the events in A Feast for Crows but is told from the perspectives of the characters we didn’t see in the fourth book, Tyrion, Daenerys, Jon, as well as Bran and Reek. And in the east Daenerys Targaryen struggles to hold a city built on dreams and dust. But Jon has enemies both inside and beyond the Wall. Eddard Stark’s bastard son Jon Snow has been elected 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. To the north lies the great Wall of ice and stone – a structure only as strong as those guarding it. ![]() Tyrion Lannister, having killed his father, and wrongfully accused of killing his nephew, King Joffrey, has escaped from King’s Landing with a price on his head.

We visit the birthplace of humanity we hear the crashing of the highest waterfall the Earth has ever known and we watch as life emerges again after the asteroid hits, and the age of the mammal dawns. Halliday immerses us in a series of ancient landscapes, from the mammoth steppe in Ice Age Alaska to the lush rainforests of Eocene Antarctica, with its colonies of giant penguins, to Ediacaran Australia, where the moon is far brighter than ours today. Travelling back in time to the dawn of complex life, and across all seven continents, award-winning young palaeobiologist Thomas Halliday gives us a mesmerizing up close encounter with eras that are normally unimaginably distant. Otherlands is an epic, exhilarating journey into deep time, showing us the Earth as it used to exist, and the worlds that were here before ours. This is the past as we’ve never seen it before. ![]() |
