![]() ![]() Would everyone’s mental temperature follow the same arc? Would mine, if I’d had a little less coffee or a lot more sleep?Įmotions color our lives – but how do our lives shape our emotions? Simple as it may seem, this question animates a long-running argument at the intersection between psychology and neuroscience. ![]() I thought I’d seen it all.īut riding North toward my office in the Village, I pondered the complexity of my emotional response – anger, fear, anger, amusement – that unfolded over no more than a few seconds. I was laughing by the time I reached the apex of the bridge. That morning, a cyclist coming from the other direction didn’t like that I tried to pass a slower rider at the onramp to the bridge, causing the three of us to momentarily share a two lane bike lane. ![]() My commute usually feels robotic – I know the speed to take at each turn, the timing of the traffic lights. ![]() I am, admittedly, an aggressive city cyclist, bobbing and weaving through traffic and over the Williamsburg Bridge every morning. My immediate surprise (punched, on my bike?) turned to rage (yelling profanities), which quickly turned to fear (will he chase me down?), and then back to rage (more profanities) once I realized the culprit was speeding away in the opposite direction. As I readjusted the bike helmet that had been ripped to side of my face, it took me a moment to realize that I’d been punched in the head. ![]()

![]() ![]() But not everyone is happy with the change in leadership. With Professor Lyon as the new Chronos, Seasons are free to do as they please. And the world they thought they left behind is still dealing with the fallout of the battle. Although he’d do anything for Fleur, he can’t deny the emptiness he’s felt since. ![]() That choice came at a cost, and Jack had to sacrifice his Winter magic-and his immortality. Yet there wasn’t magic strong enough to keep them apart, and they risked everything for their love, for the freedom to live their lives as they choose-together. ![]() Perfect for fans of Holly Black and Victoria Schwab, this is the stunning conclusion to a lush, high-stakes fantasy duology, the first book of which New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Armentrout called “flawless and addictive.” As immortal Seasons, Jack and Fleur wielded powerful magic in their roles as a Winter and a Spring. ![]() ![]() Presidential assassins and would-be Presidential assassins, stalkers and murderers of film stars and music icons are among the known deranged individuals who were obsessed with Salinger’s book – a book which many claim to be an assassination trigger device. Nor do some reviewers appreciate being reminded that Catcher either directly inspired or was associated with some of the most infamous crimes of the 20th Century. Little wonder Salinger’s Catcher was nicknamed ‘the Bible of teenage angst’ and, from 1961-1982, it was the most censored book in libraries and high schools across the US. Some reviewers, it seems, don’t like the fact that we remind readers Salinger’s often-banned, often-censored bestseller was branded communist propaganda by American school principals and more than a few teachers were fired for assigning it to students. Salinger’s Mind Control Triggering Device or a Coincidental Literary Obsession of Criminals? we dissect Salinger’s 1951 classic novel The Catcher in the Rye – and not everyone’s happy about that judging by some reviewers’ comments. ![]() |
