“It would be wrong to interpret the growth of British national consciousness in this period in terms of a new cultural and political uniformity being resolutely imposed on the peripheries of the island by its centre. For many poorer and less literate Britons, Scotland, Wales and England remained more potent rallying calls than Great Britain, except in times of danger from abroad. And even among the politically educated, it was common to think in terms of dual nationalities, not a single national identity.” ThinkingWould BePoliticalGrowthTermCommonConsciousnessDangerIdentityPeriodsEnglandBritishEducatedIslandsBritainCentreScotlandNationalityGreat BritainWalesUniformityBritish HistoryPeripheryRallyingNational IdentityBritons Author:Linda Colley
“Blindsight is excellent. It's state-of-the-art science fiction: smart, dark and it grabs you by the throat from page one. Like a C J Cherryh book it makes you feel the danger of the hostile environment (or lack of one) out there. And it plays with some fascinating possibilities in human development, and some disconcerting ideas about human consciousness. What else can I say? Thanks for giving me the privilege of reading this.” GivingFeelsHumansArtBookIdeasStatesPlayReadingDarkConsciousnessFictionEnvironmentDangerPossibilityDevelopmentPagesSmartScience FictionPrivilegeThanksExcellentFascinatingThroatHostileHuman DevelopmentHuman ConsciousnessHostile Environment Author:Neal Asher

“Snowden has presented us with choices on how we want to move forward into the future. We're at a crossroads and we still don't quite know which path we're going to take. Without Snowden, just about everyone would still be in the dark about the amount of information the government is collecting. I think that Snowden has changed consciousness about the dangers of surveillance.” ThinkingKnowsWantStillsGovernmentMovingChoicesDarkConsciousnessPathInformationDangerChangedAmountMoving ForwardCollectingSurveillanceCrossroadsSnowden Author:Laura Poitras

“So I should be aware of the dangers of self-consciousness, but at the same time, I’ll be plowing through the fog of all these echoes, plowing through mixed metaphors, noise, and will try to show the core, which is still there, as a core, and is valid, despite the fog. The core is the core is the core. There is always the core, that can’t be articulated. Only caricatured.” ShouldTryingStillsSelfShowsConsciousnessDangerMetaphorCoreNoiseDespiteEchoesFogSelf ConsciousnessPlowing Book:A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius: A Memoir Based on a True Story Source: A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius: A Memoir Based on a True Story
