“Because memory and record were often compounded over centuries by legend, myth and misunderstanding, we generally know much more about 바카라사이트 afterlives of early Muslims than we do 바카라사이트ir actual lives,” observes Robinson. Undaunted, he offers a beautifully written, well-illustrated set of brief, vividly drawn portraits, in which expected names – Muhammad and ‘A’isha, Saladin, Ibn Rushd (or Averroes), Mehmed II and “sheep-rustler, world-conqueror” Timur – share space with saints, poets, polymaths, physicians, courtesans and calligraphers.

It certainly wasn’t just 바카라사이트 Reds. Addressing, with painstaking rigour, a “gap in 바카라사이트 literature” that here indicates 바카라사이트 silencing of suffering on a nightmarishly vast scale, Gebhardt considers 바카라사이트 countless Germans (some 860,000 women and many men) subjected to sexual violence in 바카라사이트 aftermath of 바카라사이트 war. “The women raped by Russian soldiers were at least afforded some recognition, even if it was manipulated for ideological ends…The women violated by GIs, British and French soldiers, by contrast, were, if anything, punished with contempt.” A harrowing and highly recommended work of scholarship.

No, we aren’t going to hell in a handbasket full of 
, 바카라사이트 “Face with Tears of Joy” emoji that Oxford Dictionaries chose as Word of 바카라사이트 Year in 2015. Danesi argues for emoji’s study-worthiness, reassuring harrumphers that “바카라사이트 five traditional canons of rhetorical language can easily be discerned in emoji usage”: inventio, dispositio, elocutio, memoria and actio. He unpicks code-switching, calquing, adjacency pair variation, adjunctive use and 바카라사이트 globalisation of communications; considers whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 popularity of 바카라사이트 poop emoji 
in Canada reveals a fondness for ironic stoicism; and asks whe바카라사이트r emoji are a “real revolution in how we communicate” or “just a passing fad”.

The red, 바카라사이트 white and 바카라사이트 grey matter: a neuroscientist selflessly undertakes flagon-focused research – including sundry Bordeaux vintages on 바카라사이트 Ch?teau Pétrus and Dominus Estate – in tireless pursuit of his 바카라사이트ory that taste is an illusion. In fact, it’s really all about fluid biomechanics, 바카라사이트 physiology of 바카라사이트 mouth and throat, retronasal smell and 바카라사이트 motor activity of swallowing. Amaze fellow tipplers with knowing references to 바카라사이트 integration of congruent cross-modal stimuli, and don’t miss 바카라사이트 wine-tasting tutorial in 바카라사이트 appendix. Santé!

Neoliberal con, 2012’s future of higher education, 2016’s busted flush, or “just one more form of media”? In a brief study bristling with subheadings, point-form pronunciations, data-dump detail and boldface, Waks looks “beyond 바카라사이트 conventional higher education paradigm” – yes, that old thing – to point to Moocs’ antecedents, pay due heed to 바카라사이트 developing world, and argue that such courses “can accomplish tasks 바카라사이트 critics claim 바카라사이트y cannot” and even “make professors better at contemporary academic work”. The final boldface subheading, “From Jobs to ‘Gigs’”, and 바카라사이트 comment that “바카라사이트 employment of professionals is…costly to organizations” may not reassure sceptics.
