Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842-1914) was an American editorialist, journalist, short-story writer and satirist, today best known for his The Devils. His dark, sardonic views and vehemence as a critic earned him the nickname, "Bitter Bierce.

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842-1914) was an American editorialist, journalist, short-story writer and satirist, today best known for his The Devil's Dictionary (1911). Ultimately, Roberts Ridge is a study in courage and comradeship. Like Black Hawk Down, there is no happy ending. a story with a strong heart."- The Hartford Courant " Roberts Ridge is a reminder that combat, despite America's huge technological advantages, always boils down to the basics: Men, machinery, maps and mojo. For military history buffs, or those interested in the front lines of the war on terror, Roberts Ridge is a must read."-Jay Winik, author of April 1865: The Month That Saved America " is at his best when he uses his access to the special-forces fighters and spills details, such as the smell of a bullet-shredded pine tree and the slow icing of the sweat and blood that soaked the men's clothing. This true tale resonates with vitally important lessons of success and failure on the field of battle."-Eric Haney, author of Inside Delta Force "In the tradition of Black Hawk Down, Malcolm MacPherson vividly brings to life this harrowing story of courage, pathos, and war at its grittiest. Highly recommended."-James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers and Flyboys "At once a terrifying and compelling narrative, Roberts Ridge strikes awe for its unflinching and honest portrayal of the courage, determination, and capability of American fighting men.

They’ve also generated no small amount of disagreement, with Pinker’s critics arguing, to cite two common examples, that his view of the world is overly sympathetic to the excesses of capitalism and too callous about the profound hardships still faced by so many. This has been a boon for him, as his books, like “The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined” (2011) and “Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress” (2018), have been best sellers and elevated the Harvard cognitive psychologist, who is 66, beyond academia and into the realm of the public intellectual. In our uncertain age, which can so often feel so dark and disturbing, Steven Pinker has distinguished himself as a voice of positivity. And it is this presentation of him that I believe is truly thought-provoking, as it really made me consider how someone, with such a seemingly normal life in the background – although troubled by problems like his wife committing suicide – could order the terror and deaths of so many of his fellow countrymen. I found that the book forced me to see Stalin in a light that I had not considered him in before in my historical analyses: as a father, as a family man, as someone who regularly attended dinner parties with his close circle of friends. Although this side of him is apparent in the work, what I found particularly striking when reading the book in Year 12, was the human side of Stalin that Montefiore depicts – something that was often forgotten in the classroom in our immediate labelling of dictators as psychopaths. Montefiore’s account of Stalin’s life as the leader of the Soviet Union is not your typical narration of him as a paranoid, murderous dictator. Simon Sebag Montefiore’s The Court of the Red Tsar was one of the first historical books I read from cover to cover and I truly enjoyed reading, as it was finally something that I, with the assistance of my amazing teacher, had chosen to read on my own and not for an exam or as part of my homework! Despite its length, the compelling way in which the book is written meant that I was determined to get to the end and see the book’s twists and turns along the way.

To simplify the problem, he says we can narrow the eligible population down to living humans close in age. That's Randall Munroe talking to NPR's Lynn Neary. So if your soul mate is randomly assigned from all humans, it's probably somebody who is already dead or who has not yet been born." "You know, there are a lot more people who have been alive than who are alive right now. For instance: What if everyone actually had just one soul mate - one random person somewhere in the world? Could they ever meet? Simple questions can lead to very complicated answers. Randall Munroe/Courtesy of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt "Given that you have 500,000,000 potential soul mates, it means you'll only find true love in one lifetime out of 10,000." If 10 percent of them are close to your age, that's around 50,000 people in a lifetime," Munroe writes. "Let's suppose you lock eyes with an average of a few dozen new strangers each day. As in a neural network or a mind-map, the madeleine linked his aunt to his mother, who in turn was linked to Albertine through jealousy, which also connected Marcel with Saint Loop and Swann, who, as with his (Marcel’s) grandmother, linked his childhood and adolescence. The narrator Marcel, longing for a past that didn’t exist but must be created, sought to experience Bergson’s continuous time rather than the fragmented and still-framed instantaneous moments by attempting to blur the boundaries between Cambray and Paris, childhood and adolescence, and Swann and himself and integrate here and there, before and after, and him and me through memory fragments of previous objects, people and sensations. Charlus’s homosexuality or the frivolity of the Guermantes’ sorties, Marcel Proust’s monumental work In Search of Lost Time paints the unsuccessful reconstruction of a forgone world and a lost existence from fickle memories, which like morning mists would fade with the rising sun.

It would be easy to ignore the strange messages, except that whoever is leaving them has an uncanny ability to predict the future.
