The Five-Hop is run by an enterprising alien and her sometimes helpful child, who work hard to provide a little piece of home to everyone passing through. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop.Īt the Five-Hop One-Stop, long-haul spacers can stretch their legs (if they have legs, that is), and get fuel, transit permits, and assorted supplies. The only thing it has going for it is a chance proximity to more popular worlds, making it a decent stopover for ships traveling between the wormholes that keep the Galactic Commons connected. ![]() With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. ![]() 7/8/2023 0 Comments Eric klinenberg books![]() ![]() ![]() Blanchard became convinced that nothing-not government, not infrastructure, not the courts-was protecting him or his neighbors, that no one was fighting on their behalf.īlanchard was not alone in this view.

While Canadians often pride themselves on their historical support of the more progressive anti-slavery Union, British support for the North was never a given. Though scholars warn that tales of the Underground Railroad have been exaggerated in popular history (between 60,000 and 75,000), an estimated 30,000 slaves made it to Canada in this way. In the mid-1800s, a hidden network of men and women, white and black, worked with escaped slaves to help them to freedom in the northern U.S. Citizens of what soon became Canada were long involved in aiding fugitive slaves escape slave-holding southern states via the Underground Railroad.

The main purpose of the book is to show that the human brain is fallible and imperfect despite the innumerable accomplishments that it has bestowed upon us.

One would think that the story of Roger Ebert, a personality so large in a field that I am also passionate about, would hold me glued to the screen. It all seemed rather antiseptic, that there was something missing which didn’t allow me to truly connect with the person. It was also interesting to learn how he came to work for the Chicago Sun-Times, what his friends thought of his taste in women, how he came to write the screenplay for "Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls," particularly the motivation for his involvement in the Russ Meyer production: “boobs.”Īll this was great to discover but I felt oddly removed. ![]() As a fan, I was surprised to learn this for the first time, watching the film.
