Word: disanthropy Part of Speech: noun Etymology: PIE word *dwís From dis- (prefix meaning ‘against; not’) + -anthropy (suffix meaning ‘humanity’), modelled after misanthropy. The word was coined by the Canadian literary critic Greg Garrard in a 2012 article published in SubStance: see the quotation. Pronunciation: /dɪsˈænθɹəpi/ 1. A misanthropic desire for a world without human life, expressed in literature. Labels: uncountable, usually Example: [pages 40–41] D. H. Lawrence, enthused and infuriated by [Friedrich] Nietzsche, entrusted to his alter ego Birkin in Women in Love a desire that I will call "disanthropy": […] Lawrence may have yearned for a world without people, but it was Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse that first explored disanthropy as a formal problem. […] [page 44] Alongside the varied disanthropies of Michael Snow, Werner Herzog, Claude Nuridsany and Marie Pérennou, however, other possibilities of formal (usually partial or strictly provisional) impersonality emerge: […] Example: Disanthropy is the imagination of the world without humans, inspired by the resurgence of millennial Christianity in the eighteenth century and the discovery of 'deep time' following the publication of [Charles] Lyell's Principles of Geology[…].
Word: disanthropies Part of Speech: noun 1. plural of disanthropy Labels: form-of, plural
Word: disanthropic Part of Speech: adj Etymology: PIE word *dwís From disanthropy + -ic (suffix meaning ‘of or pertaining to’, forming adjectives from nouns), probably modelled after misanthropic. The word was coined by the Canadian literary critic Greg Garrard in a 2012 article published in SubStance: see the quotation. Pronunciation: /ˌdɪsænˈθɹɒpɪk/, /ˌdɪsænˈθɹɑpɪk/ 1. Of or pertaining to disanthropy; desiring a world without human life, or pertaining to such a world, as expressed in literature. Example: There is, again, a peculiar beauty in the disanthropic moment. Of course, people are only temporarily absent—decentred from the narrative focus by war, rumbling just over the horizon—and by no means irredeemably banished. Example: In contemporary ecological mobilizations of the weird, by contrast, we observe a tendency to celebrate the weird as a feature of a disanthropic world—a world in which human agency has been absorbed by nonhuman forces.

Word: schizophony Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative form of schizophonia. Labels: alt-of, alternative, uncountable Example: It was the composer R.

Word: Baiyun Ebo Part of Speech: name Etymology: From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin 白雲鄂博 /白云鄂博 (Báiyún Èbó). Pronunciation: /baɪ.jun i.boʊ/, /baɪ.jun ə.boʊ/ 1. Synonym of Bayan Obo: the Mandarin Chinese-derived name. Example: The natural resources happen to be very rich in Baotou. The iron mine on Baiyun Ebo is proved to be a multi-element intergrown mine, which consists of 73 elements.

Example: In the 1920s, a geological survey team of Chinese and Swedes had first located iron at Baiyun Ebo, a little over 90 miles due north of Baotou. More iron was discovered there in the mid-1940s, but none was exploited at that time. Soon after 1949, a team of experts spent three years surveying the area and concluded that the iron reserves at Baiyun Ebo totaled about 1 billion tons (a figure that subsequently was raised to 1.2 billion), making it one of China’s richest iron deposits.
