As the African American population grew in size and assertiveness, whites increasingly identified blacks with those factors that most deprived a given space of its middle-class character. Because of rapid changes in land use and difficulties in suppressing crime and vice in Kansas City, the control of urban spaces became an acute concern, particularly for the white middle class, before race became a problematic issue in Kansas City. A City Divided traces the development of white Kansas Citians' perceptions of race and examines the ways in which those perceptions shaped both the physical landscape of the city and the manner in which Kansas City was policed and governed.

Every Man Has His Price!Lost Springs Ranch was famous for turning young mavericks into good men. The eponymous story revolves around Yertle the Turtle, the king of the pond (located on the faraway island of Sala-ma-sond), where all the turtles swim happily. In 2001, it was listed at 125 on the Publishers Weekly list of the best-selling children's books of all time. Though the book included "burp", a word then considered to be relatively rude, it was a success upon publication, and has since sold more than a million copies. Though it contains three short stories, it is mostly known for its first story, "Yertle the Turtle", in which the eponymous Yertle, king of the pond, stands on his subjects in an attempt to reach higher than the Moon-until the bottom turtle burps and he falls into the mud, ending his rule. It was first released by Random House Books on April 12, 1958, and is written in Seuss's trademark style, using a type of meter called anapestic tetrameter. Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories is a picture book collection by Theodor Seuss Geisel, published under his more commonly known pseudonym of Dr. Max Perutz, another Cambridge-based scientist, also passed the model-builders a confidential report, including Franklin's detailed notes and X-ray photographs, which he had received as part of his Medical Research Council duties evaluating the King's unit. Unguardedly, Wilkins showed Franklin's photos to Crick and Watson without her permission. The bones of the argument are these: the Cambridge-based DNA model-builders, Francis Crick and James Watson, needed the collaboration of the King's London-based experimentalists, Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin, because only experimentalists could provide the crucial X-ray evidence of the helical structure. Its subtitle, "A vivid view of what it is like to be a gifted woman in an especially male profession", made sure of that. Written with the support of many crystallographers outraged by Watson's unprofessional treatment of a colleague, above all one silenced cruelly by premature death, Sayre's biography spoke directly to the rising women's movement. It was not just that Watson systematically stereotyped Franklin, making her out to be a bluestocking and a frump, nor that he called her "Rosy" when even to her intimates she was Rosalind, but that this stereotyping enabled him to erase Franklin's crucial contribution of the X-ray photographs that confirmed the helical structure. The immediate provocation was James Watson's hugely popular book, The Double Helix (1968). One thing I noticed is that every time I write something new I learn a little bit more about how to write and draw better. I really enjoyed being able to work on everything at once. Did you start out thinking of your work as a webcomic or as illustrated prose?īrosh: The process was essentially the same, but there were some differences. WIRED: Hyperbole and a Half uses a hybrid storytelling format that falls somewhere between prose and comic. Brosh talked with WIRED about all the things - or at least alot of them. The book includes fan-favorite tales like " The God of Cake," as well as all-new comics written for the book, like the story of why she has spent her entire life lying about hot sauce. This week, Simon and Schuster publishes Brosh's first print collection of her work, Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened. Brosh is a seemingly inexhaustible resource of fantastic stories, which manage to find hilarity in the mundane, the absurd, and the tragic. Perhaps you know Allie Brosh from the most famous panel of her webcomic Hyperbole and Half, where a manic cartoon character holds a broom in the air and shouts "CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!" Or perhaps you've read her comics about going to a children's birthday party while heavily sedated and attempting to move with her two insane dogs on a cross-country road trip.

Tiggy Winkle's opened its store in the Glebe in March of 1977, the company says. "We hope you will stop by our Flagship store at 809 Bank Street over the next few weeks as we plan for many sales and activities … We hope to put up a memory wall where customers can write down their good bye messages and see some fun pictures of our store throughout its history," the post said. Tiggy Winkle's says the decision came "after much consideration and with heavy hearts." The popular and long-lived Ottawa toy store will be closing all of its stores-including its flagship store in the Glebe-this March, putting an end to 43 years in business. Tiggy Winkle's is saying goodbye for good. |
