![]() In SIR the influential photographer presents over 300 photographs in his search to define the allure of men.įeaturing an essay by Pierre Borhan, an interview with Patrick Kinmonth, and many previously unpublished works from Testino’s archive of thousands, this book traces the evolution of male identity over the past three decades. It is a subject that has come into focus: The masculine image, a man’s personal style, changing attitudes to the male face and body.”įrom Rio to London, Cusco to Seville, Mario Testino is renowned for his free-spirited chronicles of dress and demeanor. ![]() “The way men are seen in photography, in fashion, and the way that men look at pictures of themselves has changed in recent years. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some of the alternate takes are extremely different and excellent performances on their own merits: the funkier version of "I'm Looking Through You" and the less mellow arrangement of "Norwegian Wood," a wall-of-drugs reverb for "Tomorrow Never Knows," a very Byrds-like approach to "And Your Bird Can Sing" (with giggle-laden vocals), and an acoustic demo of "Fool on the Hill." The earlier, much more acoustic version of "Strawberry Fields Forever" is the most notable gem. Proby (who covered the song shortly afterward). The Help!-era outtakes "If You've Got Troubles" and "That Means a Lot" are on the light side but very fun, especially the latter, which Paul and the group perform much better than P.J. ![]() As with the first volume, this is nearly always interesting but perhaps thinner on revelations than some might expect. ![]() But the emphasis is upon alternate takes from early 1965 to early 1968, during which time the group rapidly evolved from post-Merseybeat through folk-rock to psychedelia. As expected, the second installment of the Anthology series reflects the Beatles' increasing use of the studio-as-laboratory during their "middle years." Some live material from 1965 to 1966 appears on the first disc, and the second "reunion" single ("Real Love") leads off the set. ![]() ![]() ![]() “We are now entering the famous Harvard Yard.” The group falls silent, almost reverent, and Kiki stops on the other side of the crimson-bricked archway and waits while we file through. Somehow, “I have no earthly idea” doesn’t seem to be what they’re looking for. I thought it would be fun to tour colleges, but I didn’t realize everybody was going to ask me the same question again and again: “What do you want to do with your life, Riley?” Or sometimes they stick to, “What’s your passion, Riley?” And I haven’t figured out how to answer them. This morning we got up early to do MIT, and if I can survive a little longer, we’ll check Harvard off the list and only have Cornell to go. We started off last week at Duke, then drove up to see Johns Hopkins, Penn, Princeton, Columbia, and Yale. The Great McGee Family College Tour is finally winding down, and not a moment too soon. ![]() The parents and prospective students around me press forward, following after our tour guide, but I slowly edge toward the back, hoping the rest of my family doesn’t notice. “Welcome to the home of the Harvard Crimson.” ![]() “Hi, I’m Kiki, and I’m a real student here.” She grins from ear to ear as she walks backward across the giant lawn.

I thought, at first, that they had something to do with the crime committed, but then couldn't find a pattern. ![]() Wonderful and creative idea, but I wish the poses had been explained a little more. It's gradually revealed that they're drawn to spots of guilt and shame. "Earthbound" - 5/5 On day in Japan, people start to become cemented to a particular spot in strange poses. "Roar" - 3/5 Two hikers find a ghost flood, where the disastrous dam burst is recreated every day, and the man who is obsessed with it. Great twist that they're tickling everyone, and wonderful ending: they achieve world domination. "Ghosts of Prime Time" - 4/5 I actually really liked this one! A very strange comedy duo uses their spirits to ensure that they always kill. ![]() "Bloodsucking Darkness" - 3/5 A young woman develops an eating disorder after a breakup, and a student from her school decides to use his pet vampire bats to feed her while she sleeps. ![]() ![]() "Ghosts of Prime Time," "Death Row Doorbell," and "Earthbound" are also inventive and wonderful. Sometimes bad things just keep happening, and the villains win.Īnd Ito is ridiculously creative and original I had no idea what "Smashed," the title story, would be, but it was unexpected and great. What I love about Ito's stories is that there isn't always a happy ending. ![]() ![]() Many of every one of us.Ĭopies of you are generated thousands of times per second.

Putting his professional reputation on the line with this audacious yet entirely reasonable book, Carroll says that the crisis can now come to an end. Academics discourage students from working on the "dead end" of quantum foundations. Science popularizers keep telling us how weird it is, how impossible it is to understand. Quantum mechanics has always had obvious gaps-which have come to be simply ignored. Most physicists haven’t even recognized the uncomfortable truth: physics has been in crisis since 1927. ![]() ![]() His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity changes, well, everything. ![]() Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time.

The walls, streaked with moss, had grown soft, and bulged a little with dampness that seeped up from the ground. The old house on the hill wore its steep, gabled roof pulled over its ears like a low hat. Slanting silver ropes slammed into loose earth, plowing it up like gunfire.
