Sagan had a special motivation for this photograph, as indeed it was he who suggested that Voyager 1 turn its camera around to take this long-distance selfie of the Earth. Due to an effect of the Sun’s reflections in the camera, the dot appears to float in a beam of light. The photo shows a background in which the Earth is barely distinguishable, a pale speck occupying only 0.12 pixels of the 640,000 that make up the image. The image, dubbed Pale Blue Dot, was obtained by the Voyager 1 probe on its path to the confines of the Solar System. ![]() ![]() ” The astrophysicist and popularizer Carl Sagan wrote these words inspired by a photograph of the Earth taken on Februfrom a distance of 6 billion kilometres.

![]() The Hempstocks are a quirky trio: a magical matriarchy of sorts whose youngest, Lettie (Marli Siu) is sweet enough, though her friendship with Boy seems relatively unexplained, both in the book and here. The production keeps some of the book’s darkness, including a suicide and a shocking scene of child abuse but the boy, just named Boy and energetically played by Samuel Blenkin, is older here and a marital infidelity has been excised from the plot, presumably to make the drama more wholesome. The Dorfman theatre’s stage has ramps along two sides and turns from a kitchen or bedroom to an alternate world of raging creatures emerging out of the foliage at the back. The production captures Gaiman’s fast-paced storytelling, and Fly Davis’s stage design does not let up in its visual imagination, bringing the story’s magic to life extraordinarily well. There is no shortage of imagination in Neil Gaiman’s 2013 novel nor in this monster-powered, adrenaline-filled spectacular stage version, adapted by Joel Horwood and dynamically directed by Katy Rudd. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 19:03:57 Associated-names Reis, Ivan, illustrator Prado, Joe, illustrator Reis, Rod, colorist Napolitano, Nick, letterer Norris, Paul (Paul Leroy), 1914-2007, creator Autocrop_version 0.0.14_books-20220331-0.2 Bookplateleaf 0002 Boxid IA40753215 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier ![]() ![]() But the truth is, like many families, our conversations growing up mostly revolved around homework, TV shows, and chores. ![]() I was well into my career in writing about culture and social justice and my opinions and identity around race were pretty well documented by then. But surprisingly, my mother and I had our first really substantive conversation about race late in my life, when I was 34 years old.

Darsie discovered in a primary source during her research that Anna’s birthday was June 28, 1515, not September, the date everyone believed for hundreds of years. Yes, Darsie confirms she was called Anna and also that she held the title of Duchess of Cleves. In this state of affairs, Henry VIII’s minister, Thomas Cromwell, sought a Protestant alliance to counterbalance Catholic influence in Western Europe.Ĭonsequently, he made an arrangement with Wilhelm, Duke of Cleves for Henry VIII to marry his sister, Anna. Many of the entities of the area were a part of the Holy Roman Empire and answered to Charles V. Darsie has written a biography about Anna, Duchess of Cleves in which she delves into the political and geographical climate in the Low Countries during the sixteenth century and places the marriage into the proper context of German history. The story of Henry VIII’s marriage to Anne of Cleves has been distorted over the last five hundred years. ![]() ![]() David Kushner takes readers inside the rags-to-riches adventure of two rebellious entrepreneurs who came of age to shape a generation. ![]() Masters of Doom is the first book to chronicle this industry’s greatest story, written by one of the medium’s leading observers.
