She was tested repeatedly for strep, lupus and thyroid disease, and the results were all negative.Īs the years passed, Angel was admitted to the hospital more than 20 times. But try as they might, the doctors couldn’t find the source. Intravenous fluids flushed the enzymes out of Angel’s system, relieving her pain. They tested for an enzyme called creatine kinase (CK) while there is always some CK in the bloodstream since muscle tissue is constantly breaking down and rebuilding, normal levels are usually between 96 and 140 units per liter. She ended up in the emergency room, where doctors found her urine to be dark, the color of tea, evidence of muscle breakdown. The pain started when Angel was 14, unbearable pain in her legs that woke her in the middle of the night.

Wells drew much upon the work of Jules Verne, and likely had also read Kepler’s Somnium, the first fictional work on “Outer Space,” and Christiaan Huygens’s Cosmotheoros, which I believe is the first work of fiction on inhabitants of other planets, in other words, aliens. Lewis also directly mentions the scientist (Cavor) in Wells’ “The First Men In the Moon” in his own novel “Out of the Silent Planet.” As we will see, Lewis’ character Weston is modelled off of Wells’ character Cavor. Wells, as will become evident in this lecture. Wells several times in his “Out of the Silent Planet,” and has a note at the very start of the book acknowledging that he is fully aware that his story will “borrow” from the work of H.G. Wells’ “The First Men In the Moon” (published in 1901) where Lewis refers to H.G. It is clear that Lewis’ “Out of the Silent Planet” was a response to H.G. And Lewis was very insightful as to how this was being engineered by such writers as Wells and Huxley (for more on this refer here and here). The world was clearly entering into an increasingly dystopic disposition, in both reality and fantasy, for what lay ahead in the future. Lewis’ sci-fi trilogy is within the timeframe of the publications of Huxley’s Brave New World (published in 1932) and George Orwell’s “1984” (published in 1949). For those who are unaware, Lewis wrote a three-part sci-fi series in response to Wells sci-fi novels and the rising transhumanist ideology.Īs you can see the timing of C.S. Photographs show camp life, routines, war preparations, the moments just prior to battle, and the aftermath of battle. Their images depict the multiple aspects of the war except one crucial element: battle. Mathew Brady and his associates, most notably Alexander Gardner, George Barnard, and Timothy O'Sullivan, photographed many battlefields, camps, towns, and people touched by the war. The National Archives and Records Administration makes available on-line over 6,000 digitized images from the Civil War. The sociology of the American Civil War can be viewed through a medium that was coming of age in the middle of the 19th century: photography. Today, America defines itself from that point forward, as it still seeks a more perfect union and equality for all its citizens. The rights of states and the issue of slavery propelled the country into civil war. Still, the young country struggled for 75 years to find a graceful balance between the power of the federal government and the several states. The formation of the Constitution corrected the autonomy of individual states that the Articles of Confederation did not harness. Many historians call the Civil War the central event in U.S. The Civil War as Photographed by Mathew Brady Background A murder that Lou is determined to avenge-and if innocent people have to die in the process, well, that's perfectly all right with him.
