Frank Baum 1967 Scholastic Books CHILDREN Author: L. Robert Draper’s new book about Washington in the 18 months after January 6 is all about the fatal consequences of the brave new world the internet created, in which Republican outliers the like the Arizona congressman Paul Gosar and his mentee, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, are much more likely to be rewarded for “outrageous, fact-free behavior” than to be penalized for it. The internet and its infernal algorithms are the main reasons no institution or congressional leader retains the power to protect the public from outright insanity. These gatekeepers did not have perfect judgement, but in our time it has become obvious that they provided essential protections for democracy. Their leaders in the House and Senate could complete their marginalization. Rogue legislators with histories of racism or addiction to conspiracy theories usually suffered the same fate for the same reason – nobody gave them ink or air time. This allowed a physician who did not have a particular drug to look to the preceding or following entries for potential alternatives. He has written extensively about Dioscorides, who published a description of 500 distinct plants around 78 AD that is "still an authority on plants and drugs of ancient times" – it was "the first to study morphologically thus separating pharmacognosy from medicine." Riddle demonstrated that Dioscorides arranged his presentation of drugs by affinities and based on their physiological action. His methodology is to draw on the modern understanding of medicine, pharmacy, and chemistry to interpret texts and uncover the rationality of early medicine. Riddle specializes in pharmacological history particularly of the classical and medieval periods, based on previously under-utilized ancient and medieval sources. He is Alumni Distinguished Professor emeritus of History at North Carolina State University. John Marion Riddle (born 1937) is an American historian and specialist in the history of medicine.

"Even as a schoolboy, I loved John Keats's ode "To Autumn" for being an ark of the covenant between language and sensation as an adolescent, I loved Gerard Manley Hopkins for the intensity of his exclamations which were also equations for a rapture and an ache I didn't fully know I knew until I read him I loved Robert Frost for his farmer's accuracy and his wily down-to-earthness and Chaucer too for much the same reasons. In his Nobel Lecture, delivered in 1995, he talked about other poets who have influenced him: The interviews have a genuine feel that goes beyond simply talking up Mignola. There is the normal talk about the work speaking to outsiders, but it all rings much truer here. Listening to Sugar talk about how comfortable it made her feel or seeing Del Toro accept the Oscar for The Shape of Water are just two of the powerful moments in Drawing Monsters. It is not the praise that will make some teary eyed, however. Unsurprisingly, they all speak highly of the artist. It is filled with interviews that range from actors Ron Perlman and Patton Oswalt to creators such as Guillermo Del Toro and Rebecca Sugar. As expected, there is the story of Mignola’s rise, but it is the many testimonials that really give Drawing Monsters its emotional weight. The documentary is surprisingly heartwarming. More than that, it looks at the long lasting impact. Filled with interviews, the film is a look at Mignola’s career.
