Although their pronouncements were universal, the questions they chose were informed by parochial concerns relating to Scotland, and the tremendous societal changes the country was undergoing at the time. The philosophers of the Scottish Enlightenment gravitated around several major themes: the origins of morals, the progress of civilization, economic development and the impact of trade. Although not all these names are equally well known today, all contributed significantly to the development of modern ideas about the economy. The skeptical philosopher and the father of economics formed the kernel of an intellectual clique, centered in Edinburgh, that included, among others, Lord Kames, Adam Ferguson and James Millar. The Scottish Enlightenment is most associated with two names: David Hume and Adam Smith. But beyond a mere nod to the past, the title of the conference prompts an important question for modern economists: Is there something to learn from the Scottish Enlightenment that can help illuminate the predicaments of today – and if so, what is it? The reference, of course, is to the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th Century which gave birth to modern economics. “Reawakening” is the theme of the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) conference opening in Edinburgh on October 21.

The duke has a single summer to woo his wife and convince her that, despite their broken past, he can give her forever, making every day the Day of the Duchess. Haven offers her a deal Sera can have her freedom, just as soon as she finds her replacement…which requires her to spend the summer in close quarters with the husband she does not want, but somehow cannot resist.

The third book in Sarah MacLean's witty and romantic Scandal & Scoundrel series featuring a ravishing heroine and the man, desperately in love, who now has to make amends. This highlights that comics are closely tied into the current situation between Israelis and Palestinians, where fear and separation rule to a level where the Arab Other – whether Christian or Muslim – of the Jews of Jerusalem is almost invisible. Instead, the Arab presence is brought into the texts by way of urban elements such as the Dome of the Rock, media remediations or indistinct, distant figures. The philosopher, Emmanuel Lévinas, has argued that face-to-face encounters are the basis for recognizing the Other as human and for feeling responsibility towards him or her.1 In this article I show that we rarely see the Other’s face in the corpus of the Jewish comic artists I discuss here. In this article, I will take on this critical oversight and explore how Mira Friedman’s ‘Independence Day’ (2008), Sarah Glidden’s How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less (2010) and Miriam Libicki’s Jobnik!: An American Girl’s Adventures in the Israeli Army (2008) engage with the complicated social situation. Una breve descrizione del graphic novel 'Cronache di Gerusalemme' dellautore Guy Delisle che ha vinto la Fauve dOr al Festival dAngouleme 2012. Scholars, however, have yet to study how comics engage with life in Jerusalem, in particular the relationships between Arabs and Jews. In recent years, comic artists have turned their attention to the Middle East, including the ‘Holy City’. Agosto 2008: un volo notturno porta Guy Delisle a Gerusalemme, dove il fumettista e la sua famiglia trascorreranno un anno della propria vita per dare modo a Nadège, la compagna di Guy, di partecipare a una missione di Medici Senza Frontiere. Jerusalem is the frontline and a microcosm of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Gao Zhan faced the same family problem when his father died, Empress Lou usurped his succession to the throne so that her own son and Gao Zhan's elder half-brother, Prince Yan ( Qiao Renliang) could become emperor. Lu Zhen fled and was saved by Prince Gao Zhan ( Chen Xiao), who fell in love with Lu Zhen due to her resemblance to his first love Xiao Huan Yun ( Yang Rong). When Lu Zhen was acquitted, her stepmother arranged for her to marry off as a concubine to an old man so that she could seize the family assets. Afraid of Lu Zhen taking much of the family assets upon her impending marriage, her stepmother Zhao Yinglan schemed to poison her father and attempted to frame Lu Zhen for the murder. Lu Zhen was the elder ambitious daughter of the Lu family, who successfully ran the family porcelain business, much to her father's delight and her stepmother's jealousy. The character of Lu Zhen is based on Lu Lingxuan, a lady-in-waiting of Northern Qi that withheld supreme power. The story centres on the rise of Lu Zhen ( Zhao Liying) from a mere lady-in-waiting to becoming prime minister during the Northern Qi dynasty. It was first broadcast on in China and subsequently aired in other Asian countries such as South Korea and Japan. Directed by Li Huizhu, Zheng Wei'en and Liang Guoguan and produced by Yu Zheng and Mu Xiaohui, the series stars Zhao Liying and Chen Xiao. Legend of Lu Zhen ( Chinese: 陆贞传奇) is a 2013 Chinese television series based on the novel Female Prime Minister (女相) by Zhang Wei. Fifty years on from that fateful day, the pair are still in regular contact – and using their story to spread a message of peace. This was thanks, in part, to Associated Press photographer Nick Ut, who assisted the children after taking his now-iconic image. The girl, since identified as Phan Thi Kim Phuc, ultimately survived her injuries. Though officially titled “The Terror of War,” the photo is better known by the nickname given to the badly burned, naked 9-year-old at its center: “Napalm Girl”. Taken outside the village of Trang Bang on June 8, 1972, the picture captured the trauma and indiscriminate violence of a conflict that claimed, by some estimates, a million or more civilian lives. Soldiers from the South Vietnamese army’s 25th Division follow helplessly behind. Dark smoke billowing behind them, the young subjects’ faces are painted with a mixture of terror, pain and confusion. The horrifying photograph of children fleeing a deadly napalm attack has become a defining image not only of the Vietnam War but the 20th century. I like UK based police procedurals and psychological thrillers, but tend to avoid anything that hints at graphic domestic violence, child abuse or animal abuse (I'm a softy really). I read a variety of genres but you will normally find me reading the following. I've have a book blog on Facebook since April 2015 before deciding to start this one. I'd never actually written a review before I joined but as they keep sending me books I must be doing something right. I joined NetGalley in 2014 as a reviewer and it has introduced me to many new authors and friends on Goodreads. I was so excited but I never did tell him my idea for a new Bobby Brewster story! I was a member of the Bookworm Club and went along on a Saturday morning for a talk by H E Todd as I loved his Bobby Brewster books. I've always loved books and met my first real author at the library. I am an ex librarian (public libraries) and I aim to read 100 books a year (though I don't always manage it). Playing recorder in early music consorts led to his books of verbal duets: I Am Phoenix, Joyful Noise (winner of the 1989 Newbery Medal, and Big Talk.
