![]() ![]() ![]() But unlike Levine, Flournoy approaches her material through the wider lens of fiction, offering readers a harmonious and ultimately reassuring vision of home and familial love. Angela Flournoy’s debut novel The Turner House, one of the latest literary projects to engage with the history of Detroit and its people, evokes the power, honesty, and critical intelligence of Levine’s work (which forms a part of this book’s epigraph). ![]() Detroit served as inspiration for artists ranging from Diego Rivera, with his monumental ode to industrial labor in the murals at the Detroit Institute of Arts, to Philip Levine, who captured, in poems like the iconic “They Feed They Lion,” the violent beauty and simmering tensions in the industrial scenes in which Rivera saw so much hope. The city of Detroit, from the rise and fall of the auto industry to the riots of 1967 and beyond, has popularly symbolized the twentieth-century American experience more dramatically than nearly any other city in the country.

It had the kind of paradigm-shifting impact that happens with a book only once every few years, and it turned Diamond - a professor of geography at UCLA - into something of a rock star. To broadly simplify, Diamond's book posited that human populations on continents with a primarily east-west orientation benefited from a more consistent climate and therefore developed more quickly than those living on continents with a north-south orientation. For most readers (and there were millions), Guns was their first exposure to theories of geographic determinism. ![]() His 1997 Pulitzer Prize-winning book Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies began with a simple question - "Why did Pizarro conquer the Incas and not the other way around?" - and then managed to tell, over the course of only 400-odd pages, the history of why humanity has turned out the way it has. ![]() I will always think of Jared Diamond as the man who, for the better part of the late 1990s, somehow made the phrase "east-west axis of orientation" the most talked-about kind of orientation there was - freshman, sexual, or otherwise.

"A heart-wrenching, revelatory and shocking memoir that opens a fascinating window into the world of traditional Japanese education." -Amy Chua, author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and Political TribesĪn intensely personal, heartwarming, and heartbreaking chronicle of one mother and child’s struggle to fit in at a prestigious private elementary school in Japan. ![]() ![]() The general logic of the hypothesis is that the similar latitude of an east–west alignment means animals, crops, as well as travel and trade, more easily spread across the continents than across those with a north–south alignment - of the Americas and Africa - which naturally encounter more different climatic zones.Īs a simplified example, horses and other large animals and crops spread throughout the shared temperate latitudes of Eurasia. An east-west alignment means the land generally has a more similar climate, day-length and seasonal variations. The Americas are largely lined up north–south, while Europe and Asia (Eurasia) are largely lined up east-west. One hypothesis, striking in its simplicity if you’ve ever looked at a world map, is the significant contribution of the general orientation of the major continents. Jared Diamond’s classic book Guns, Germs and Steel, proposes some remarkable hypotheses about how the pattern of history played out, notably trying to answer the question of why it was generally the Europeans that invaded much of the rest of the world rather than the other way around. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Two brothers and a son all receive letters from the KKK, addressed from India that contain five dried orange pips, the omen of death.
