This dread and the added weight of not being what everyone thought her to be led to depression and full-blown panic attacks that began to cripple her emotionally. ![]() She dreaded being called on during class for fear of the embarrassment of not being able to answer questions others seemed to understand with little effort. Never understanding why she worked twice as hard as other students with little improvement in math, Abeel had always been considered among the smartest in her class.

This image, this spirit, is retained in some body which is the seed of our brain, and that is how a certain spiritual generation-as it were a spiritual giving-birth-occurs in us. Thus, when we remember something, we see within ourselves its image, which is the spirit that came from it when we looked at it from the outside. Similarly, memory requires a body in order to retain the spirit of the thought otherwise it vanishes, as a mirror-image vanishes when the object is removed. Why not? Because all reflection depends on a certain darkness, and that’s the body. If our thoughts didn’t have body, we couldn’t retain them or reflect on them. These thoughts are our inner children, and they divide into masculine and feminine-i.e. Some philosophers have said that thoughts are not mental substances but merely states of or events in minds, which are substances but I contend that thoughts are genuine creatures, each of its own kind, and that they have a true substance appropriate to themselves. Capturing Conway’s frustrations with Cartesian dualism, this treatise, originally published in Latin, describes a unique metaphysics that sees mind and body as inextricably commingled, with differences between them emerging only gradually or incrementally. Anne Conway’s Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy is a highly original work and one well ahead of its time. ![]() ![]() Like other Wilson plays, The Piano Lesson seems to sing even when it is talking.” ![]() The Piano Lesson, wrote Frank Rich in The New York Times, “has its own spacious poetry, its own sharp angle on a nation’s history, its own metaphorical idea of drama and its own palpable ghosts that roar right through the upstairs window of the household where the action unfolds.

The novel is lighthearted, gentle, warm, and even if the science behind the solutions and the time travel itself seemed less than consistent, the novel rocked along and brought a smile to this reader. My eyes rolled at the very idea of ‘a towel malfunction’, and I thought I couldn’t possibly have read that until the leading character wore a very tight dress to the ambassador’s dinner, which led to her friend worrying about her having ‘a wardrobe malfunction’. Women answer the door in their bra and panties without that fact ever having relevance to the plot, and there is a constant taking of showers followed by towels revealing a breast, or a man worrying about having a ‘towel malfunction’. ![]() I say ‘strangely enough’ because I first had to get over the almost early adolescence obsession with naughty body parts and underwear that lines the pages.

Through Jonathan Wilson's brilliant historical detective work we learn how the South Americans shrugged off the British colonial order to add their own finesse to the game how the Europeans harnessed individual technique and built it into a team structure how the game once featured five forwards up front, while now a lone striker is not uncommon. His book, Inverting the Pyramid was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year in 2008, and won Best Football Book at the British Sports.
