J. K. Rowling Born in Yate, Gloucestershire, Rowling was working as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International when she conceived the idea for the Harry Potter series on a delayed train from Manchester to London in 1990.[11] The seven-year period that followed entailed the death of her mother, divorce from her first husband and poverty until Rowling finished the first novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (1997). Rowling subsequently published 6 sequels—the last, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007)—as well as 3 supplements to the series. Since, Rowling has parted with her agency and resumed writing for adult readership, releasing the tragicomedy The Casual Vacancy (2012) and—using the pseudonym Robert Galbraith—the crime fiction novel The Cuckoo's Calling (2013), the first of a series.

Joseph E. LeDoux LeDoux's research interests are mainly focused on the biological underpinnings of memory and emotion, especially the mechanisms of fear. LeDoux is also a singer and guitarist in the science-themed rock band The Amygdaloids.[2] Synaptic Self[edit] Published in 2002, Ledoux's Synaptic Self attempts to synthesize his research in neuroscience and on the brain in order to begin tackling the big question he feels neuroscience should be asking: "What makes us who we are?"[3] Ledoux gives a brief synopsis of the disciplines that have made significant contributions to theories and conceptions of the self, claiming his synaptic theory of the self "is not proposed as an alternative to these views...rather, an attempt to portray the way the psychological, social, moral, aesthetic, or spiritual is realized. In my view, the self is the totality of what an organism is physically, biologically, psychologically, socially, and culturally. Books[edit] Media appearances[edit] See also[edit] References[edit]

The Sandman Summary Neil Gaiman's The Sandman was launched in 1989. This extremely popular series was bound into ten collections. Following Dream of the Endless, also known as Morpheus, Onieros and many other names, we explore a magical world filled with stories both horrific and beautiful. What do you need to know to enjoy the series? Preludes and Nocturnes begins the series. The Doll's House shows us that the Dream King has not yet resolved all of the problems caused by his imprisonment. Dream Country is the first story arc made up entirely of different tales. We return to the regular series with Season of Mists. In A Game of You, old witchcraft and fantasy mix together to create an adventure featuring Barbie from The Doll's House. Fables and Reflections is another story collection. In Brief Lives, Dream's little sister Delirium convinces Morpheus to go on a quest for their missing brother, Destruction, but the price of finding the prodigal may be more than Dream can bear.

Cthulhu in Mesoamerica One of my favorite Cthulhu Mythos stories is "The Mound", a short novel conceived by Zealia Bishop and published with her name appearing as that of the sole author. Yet we all know that this tale is primarily the work of H. P. Lovecraft. It certainly reads like one of his stories and he obviously took a very great interest in it --- so great an interest, in fact, that it now stands not only as an incorporation into the Mythos, but as a major extension of it. Francis T. But in "The Mound" we read that the humans who occupy blue-litten K'n-yan, which land lies somewhere far within the earth beneath the southwestern United States, carried on trade or contact of some sort with the surface Indians centuries ago. Now, the interesting thing is that there is a very important archaeological site in central Mexico where Quetzalcoatl was evidently worshipped alongside another god who bears some striking resemblances to Great CthuIhu. Teotihuacan, in the Aztec language, means "place of the gods".
