![]() ![]() ![]() The final two chapters break from the dating style, in order to discuss "Dirac's Brain and Persona" and his "Legacy". The book is divided into thirty-one chapters, each beginning with a short epigraph and covering a set time period, for example, chapter Twenty-one is entitled "January 1936-Summer 1939", and begins with a short quote by Paul Carus. For example, when approached by two graduate students, while on a brief visit to Berkeley, Dirac sat through a brief presentation about their work on quantum field theory, bracing themselves for his perceptive comments, there was a long silence, after which Dirac asked them "Where is the post office?" Offering to take him there, the students suggested that he could give them his thoughts on their presentation, to which Dirac replied, "I can't do two things at once." Throughout the book, Dirac's work and his unusual personality is explored, with his reservedness, apparent lack of empathy, and relentless literal-mindedness leading way to several humorous anecdotes. Farmelo charts Dirac's life from his upbringing in early 20th-century Bristol, through his years in Cambridge, Göttingen and Princeton up until his death in 1984, and that of his wife 18 years later. ![]() ![]() ![]() “We would meet people that had come to hear us talk and they’d say, ‘I wish I had a sister like you, but I brought my best friend.

This book is well-known because it was very unusual for nineteenth century women. She tries to understand what her place is in Mr Rochester’s home, and how to deal with the mysterious Bertha. The book takes various twists and turns, and follows as Jane becomes a young woman, battling against her inner demons. Once a little older, Jane becomes a governess, working for the formidable Mr Rochester, for whom she develops an attachment. This event, like a lot of the book, was mirrored in Charlotte Brontë’s personal life, with family bereavement from an early age. ![]() While still young she attends a school in which an epidemic occurs, killing off a lot of the student population and giving Jane a first hand experience with death and grief from an early age.

Fiercely determined, precocious far beyond her twelve years, and steeped in the adventurous literature of Stevenson, Kipling, and Conan Doyle, she resolves, one summer, to solve the murder and exact her revenge. For Harriet, who has grown up largely unsupervised, in a world of her own imagination, her brother is a link to a glorious past she has only heard stories about or glimpsed in photograph albums. His killer was never identified, nor has his family, in the years since, recovered from the tragedy. In a small Mississippi town, Harriet Cleve Dusfresnes grows up in the shadow of her brother, who-when she was only a baby-was found hanging dead from a black-tupelo tree in their yard.

Much of the documentary is devoted to Anita’s lengthy if troubled relationship with Richards, which lasted from roughly 1967-1980. A mutual friend says that Jagger fell in love with her, but she writes in her memoir, “The funny thing is, I never really fancied Mick at all.”Ĭrushed by the one-sided attraction, the film says Jagger was inspired to write “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” Similarly, Keith’s tortured romantic and possessive feelings for Pallenberg inspired him to write “Gimme Shelter.” (For those keeping score of Stones-Pallenberg connections, Anita also contributed some background vocals to “Sympathy for the Devil.”).Īnita Pallenberg, Keith Richards and kids attend a screening of ‘Gimme Shelter,’ in Cannes, 1970. The two spent decades denying they hooked up at the time, but in her memoir she comes clean, saying they did indeed engage in a casual affair while she was then partnered with Richards, and that Richards knew about it.

Here, Bew pierces Attlee's reticence to examine the intellect and beliefs of Britain's greatest - and least appreciated - peacetime prime minister. But as John Bew's revelatory biography shows, Attlee was not only a hero of his age, but an emblem of it and his life tells the story of how Britain changed over the twentieth century. Called 'a sheep in sheep's clothing', his reputation has long been that of an unassuming character in the shadow of Churchill.
