nyt HS:n elokuvatoimittaja Pertti Avola valitsi kuusi romanttisinta Suomi-filmiä. 1. Laulu tulipunaisesta kukasta (1938) Johannes Linnankosken klassikkoromaani on filmattu usein, mutta Teuvo Tulion 1930-lukuinen versio on niistä paras. Tarina tukkilais-Olavin ( Kaarlo Oksanen ) rakkauksista ja lopullisesta kesyyntymisestä perheenisäksi hehkuu kesää ja intohimoja, etenkin alkupuolellaan kun Olavi pääsee piikatyttö Gasellin ( Nora Mäkinen ) aittaan. Regina Linnanheimo ja Tauno Palo riutuvat rakkaudessa Kaivopuiston kauniissa Reginassa. 2. Katariina ja Munkkiniemen kreivi riutuvat Kaivopuiston Reginan tapaan. 3. IS arkisto Tauno Palo ja Helena Kara ja Valkoiset ruusut. 4. 5. Zade Rosenthal / handout André Wilms ja Kati Outinen sinnittivelevät Le Havressa. 6.
A New Chart of History Joseph Priestley's A New Chart of History (1769) In 1769, 18th-century British polymath Joseph Priestley published A New Chart of History and its prose explanation as a supplement to his Lectures on History and General Policy.[1] Together with his Chart of Biography (1765), which he dedicated to his friend Benjamin Franklin), Priestley believed these charts would allow students to "trace out distinctly the dependence of events to distribute them into such periods and divisions as shall lay the whole claim of past transactions in a just and orderly manner. The capital use [of the Charts was as] a most excellent mechanical help to the knowledge of history, impressing the imagination indelibly with a just image of the rise, progress, extent, duration, and contemporary state of all the considerable empires that have ever existed in the world.[3] Notes[edit] Jump up ^ Priestley, Joseph.

The Broken Thread of Culture There are times when the deindustrial future seems to whisper in the night like a wind blowing through the trees, sending the easy certainties of the present spinning like dead leaves. I had one of those moments recently, courtesy of a news story from 1997 that a reader forwarded me, about the spread of secret stories among homeless children in Florida’s Dade County. These aren’t your ordinary children’s stories: they’re myths in the making, a bricolage of images from popular religion and folklore torn from their original contexts and pressed into the service of a harsh new vision of reality. God, according to Dade County’s homeless children, is missing in action; demons stormed Heaven a while back and God hasn’t been seen since. This isn’t the sort of worldview you’d expect from people living in a prosperous, scientifically literate industrial society, but then the children in Dade County’s homeless shelters don’t fit that description in any meaningful sense. And those other sources?

Celebrating five years of Oxford Bibliographies The librarians at Bates College first became interested in Oxford Bibliographies a little over five years ago. We believed there was great promise for a new resource OUP was developing, in which scholars around the world would be contributing their expertise by selecting citations, commenting on them, and placing them in context for end users. It would be an innovative approach for finding authoritative and trusted sources, and one that was likely to work well in an online environment. In the summer of 2010, our research librarians agreed that they would really like to see how we might make use of Oxford Bibliographies at our undergraduate liberal arts institution. Along with other libraries, we were able to offer our ideas in the early months when a core list of subject modules was already in place, with additional ones being worked on in the wings. The platform and resource itself evolved rapidly. Why has this resource worked for our college?
