Who doesn’t love books? A hundred thousand words jammed pack into an adhesive-bound pocket of delight with pages that smell like heaven (yeah, you know what smell I’m talking about). ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the primary reasons that diaperless babies are the rule and not the exception in countries such as India and Africa is that the baby is with the mother almost continually from birth on. Supposedly, the more attuned to the child the caregiver becomes, the easier it is for them to be able to anticipate the child’s toilet needs, which all sounds good, but may cause some raised eyebrows regarding its viability as an alternative to diapers. ![]() In short, by anticipating when the baby has to eliminate their waste, they can take them to an appropriate place to take care of this and cut down on or eliminate altogether the need for diapers. ![]() In a nutshell, elimination communication is a method of toilet training in which the person caring for the child uses a mix of signals (timing, body language etc.) as well as their intuition to potty train the child. As a result she raised her own children with a limited use of diapers and started to share her methods with others. The term “elimination communication” was coined by Ingrid Bauer after she had traveled throughout both India and Africa where diaperless babies (who did not seem to be having potty accidents) were the norm and not the exception. We live in a society that is obsessed with convenience, which is probably why the idea of Elimination Communication (or EC) has met with such mixed emotions. When highlighting the green options for diapering our wee babes one of the front runners… if not the front runner is EC or elimination communication. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That revulsion was so intense that Simak contemplated the extinction of his own species and its replacement by a better one. “The series was written in a revulsion against mass killing and as a protest against war.” Perhaps because we, by which I mean the post-WW II generations, have grown up aware of the deepest, most evil tendencies of humanity, it’s difficult to appreciate completely the anger and despair over what happened during the 1930s and 40s. It is a book conceived of in anger and despair, yet one that strives to posit a better, more humane world - even if it’s one devoid of humans. It’s a fix-up of nine stories, eight written between 19, and one more, added to later editions, in 1973. Simak, unfolds over thousands of years, telling of the end of humanity, the rise of dogs and robots to terrestrial preeminence, and finally, the near abandonment of Earth. Then each family circle gathers at the hearthstone and the pups sit silently and listen and when the story’s done they ask many questions:Ĭity (1952), by Clifford D. These are the stories that the Dogs tell when the fires burn high and the wind is from the north. ![]() ![]() ![]() We hope you enjoy reading them we’re curious to see if your reading experience was similar to ours, and whether you agree or disagree with our feelings about the book. ![]() Wench Donna and I have written our own mini-reviews of the book, and they just go to show how different our reading perspectives can be. I wanted to be surprised by what was to come. I was pretty envious, but restrained myself from trying to dig for spoilers. I looked on jealously at some of my Goodreads friends who managed to get ARCs for the book. This was a new-to-me series last year, and I pretty much read all the books one after the other, so I was waiting with much anticipation for the release of The Undead Pool. ![]() The Undead Pool is the next-to-last installment in Kim Harrison’s The Hollows series, featuring Rachel Morgan. ![]() |
