Robert Elsmere by Mary Augusta Ward (1851 - 1920) LibriVox Essentially the book covers the life of Robert Elsmere, a boyishly intellectual clergyman. The first part covers his meeting with and eventual marriage to Catherine Leyburn. After a period as a country vicar, Robert’s meetings with the local squire, an intellectual atheist, lead to his having a crisis of faith. The pair move to London where Robert works with the poor and uneducated. The lives of the people closely associated with the pair are also covered.The book is set against the late Victorian world and its reactions to Darwinism, Unitarianism and the rise of secularism and modernism. At the time, it was a runaway best seller and its attack on orthodox Christianity was fiercely debated by all, including Gladstone. - Summary by Simon Evers WiCSCast: From Runtimes to Fun Times - Episode 1: Transfer Learning ft. Chanda Grover Women In Computing Society We are extremely delighted to launch WiCS’ first podcast series, WiCSCast: From Runtimes to Fun Times. In the podcast episodes, we will attempt to bring together researchers, professors, and students in the CS field to break down seemingly complex and lesser-known topics in Computer Science and related disciplines. Through this medium, we also hope to give rise to more conversations pertaining to gender and its role in academia and other professional domains, especially in the STEM fields. For the first episode, we have Chanda Grover, a Computer Science PhD student at Ashoka University, break down Transfer Learning, her area of interest in Machine Learning.
