![]() ![]() It is well read with appropriate intonation and in-keeping with the authors underplaying of the extraordinary events. I would consider this essential reading for all seeking to understand Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade and the realities of slavery in the West Indies. As a primary source it authoritatively reveals the micro and macro pictures. The prose is beautiful, the arguments passionate, clear and gracious. ![]() It reads like a cross between Hornblower and 12 years a slave, giving a personal account of the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and slavery, the trials of being a freed man, the surprisingly globalised and interconnected trading of the 18th century and by implication Britain’s gain from slavery. This is an incredibly gripping account of one extraordinary man’s life from childhood in west Africa, enslavement, freedom, coming to a personal faith in Jesus and abolitionist. ![]()

In his book, he stated the Chinese fleets had not been to Europe, but one year later in his speeches, he told his readers they had been to Europe. User: Bozu 23:09, (UTC-6) I think "bigger, bolder, and much less traditional" is not all that biased. Perhaps, rewording this passage and working a "Pro-argument"/"Con-arugument" part into this article would keep the content fairly even. I, personally, have no thought either way on the topic, but I do feel the only non-NPOV of this article is the above passage. He also now alleges that the Chinese records of the voyages were never, in fact, destroyed, and are waiting to be found." This paragraph seems to be a tad bit tinged with bias against his argument. ![]() For example, he now claims some of Zheng He's ships travelled as far as Spain. His new findings are usually bigger, bolder, and much less traditional than his previous ones. Throughout the article I read it as very NPOV complient, until we get to this part: "Menzies modifies his theory from time to time based on newly discovered evidence. I am currently re-reading 1421 after doing some research since reading in about 15 months ago. I feel that it is necessary to modify some of the wording here, as I am uncertain about the NPOV of this article. ![]() ![]() Sixty images throughout the book display the work of the contemporary artists under discussion, including landscape photographers, performance artists, sculptors, and installation artists. ![]() These thoughts produce quirky, intelligent, and wryly humorous content as Solnit ranges across disciplines to explore nuclear test sites, the meaning of national borders, deserts, clouds, and caves-as well as ideas of the feminine and the sublime as they relate to our physical and psychological terrains.

To Rebecca Solnit, the word "landscape" implies not only literal places, but also the ground on which we invent our lives and confront our innermost troubles and desires. ![]() ![]() ![]() Using higher-dimensional geometry, they deploy supercomputers the size of a proton to spy on every terrestrial activity and utterance Earth’s entire fleet of starships proves no match for one small, droplet-shaped Trisolaran probe. Life on Trisolaris has become increasingly difficult to sustain, so its inhabitants prepare to colonize Earth, a project made possible by their vast technological superiority. In Liu Cixin’s science-fiction trilogy, “Remembrance of Earth’s Past”-also known by the title of its first volume, “The Three-Body Problem”-Civilization A is a distant planet named Trisolaris and Civilization B is Earth. But the battle lines are clear: whoever controls the technological frontier controls the future. ![]() Neither side hesitates to employ espionage, subterfuge, and surveillance, because the rules of conduct-to the extent that they exist-are ill-defined and frequently contested. Civilization A is stronger than Civilization B and is perceived by Civilization B as a grave threat its position, however, is more fragile than it seems. Two rival civilizations are battling for supremacy. ![]() ![]() Suddenly, Graves Glen is under attack from murderous wind-up toys, a pissed off ghost, and a talking cat with some interesting things to say.
