5/27/2023 0 Comments Author goodbye to berlin![]() ![]() There is also a very explicit mention towards the end of the book of a club in which queer men gather to watch drag acts. The reason, apparently, was because of his homosexuality, and he didn’t want to shout it from the rooftops that he was gay, so he kept that part on the downlow, although there are some mentions of spending time in a night club that could very well have been a gay bar. But there are elements of it, such as his own personal life, that are fictionalized. There are many parts of it that are incredibly historically accurate, seeing as he did actually live through Germany as it transitioned into the Nazi Germany of World War Two. ![]() Goodbye to Berlin is an account of Isherwood’s time in Berlin, told through a mostly fictional way but including elements of his real life within it. I resolved to read it one day after that, and I am glad I have. The first time I’d actually heard of Isherwood was during a creative writing class when we were tasked with creating accurate descriptions of characters, and we were given an excerpt from this book to read – the part when Christopher meets Sally for the first time.

The first edition of the Opticks ends with two mathematical treatises in Latin, written to establish his priority over Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in the invention of the calculus. He worked on refraction of light into colored beams using prisms and discovered chromatic aberration. Nevertheless, Newton preferred the corpuscular theory of light, with which he is usually associated, because of its explanatory value for certain optical phenomena and because it a llowed him to link the action of gross bodies with the action of light. The famous physicist Sir Isaac Newton lectured on optics from 1670 - 1672. His discovery of periodicity in Newton's rings, which would later prove to be so useful to Thomas Young, led Newton to postulate that periodicity was a fundamental property either of light waves or of waves associated with light. ![]() The book summarized Newton's discoveries and theories concerning light and color: the spectrum of the sunlight, the degrees of refraction associated with different colors, the color circle (the first in the history of color theory), the invention of the reflecting telescope the first workable theory of the rainbow, and experiments on what would later be called "interference effects" in conjunction with Newton's rings. Unlike most of Newton's works, Opticks was originally published in English, with the Latin version following in 1706. Isaac Newton published Opticks: Or a Treatise of the Reflexions, Refractions, Inflexions and Colours of Light. Also Two Treatises of the Species and Magnitude of Curvilinear Figures in London in 1704. ![]() 5/26/2023 0 Comments Diana vreeland memoir![]() And my husband and his brother, Nicholas, shared wonderful childhood memories of time spent with their "Nonina."

"She was and remains the only genius fashion editor,'' Richard Avedon said after her death in 1989.
