"UNPLANNED PASSAGE" by Captain Peter J D Russell FNI
Julian Parker OBE, FNI writes in the foreword: I would like a wide audience to share the experience of 'Unplanned Passage' There are so many lessons to pass on. It is too personal to be a novel. The characters in a novel are imagined and do not have to be believed. Here however we have a real person, a family man, a mariner who reached the top of his profession, a charitable Rotarian who believed in enriching the local community and a creative artist. This is also the story of how rewarding a life at sea can be. " The life story of a Master Mariner's fifty years at sea, his Apprenticeship, his years in the RFA and 32 years as a Cinque Ports Trinity House and PLA London District Pilot. Starting in World War 2 the story is one of challenge, achievement and responsibility. The story is of ships large and small, of the characters who serve in them. It is about pilotage in all kinds of weather, inherent risk and re-organisation. The Author in retirement maintains his maritime connections as a Younger Brother of Trinity House London, as a member of The Honourable Company of Master Mariners and is a Life Governor of The Marine Society and Sea Cadets. President of the Nautical Institute 1998 - 2000 he remains active on a number of Committees serving to date.

Winter was not what I expected it to be, namely, cold. We had cold days and cold winds but we also had days when the temperatures climbed into the 80’s. I enjoyed the moody weather and the kids and I spent many afternoons at a playground meeting new people.
We did have one big snow in January. The kids had been watching the sky all afternoon and just when they had stopped looking for it, tiny little dots began to fall. They were the kind of snowflakes you can only really see out of the corner of your eye. The kids were ecstatic. Slowly the snow began to fall more steadily and the flakes became more visible. We ate dinner and the kids climbed into bed with promises and reassurances about the snow that would be there tomorrow. At 5 AM the kids were out of bed with their faces plastered to the window. The world as they had known it was gone and in its place was a white winter they had only heard of in books. We got 5 inches of soft, powdery snow and it stuck around for a few frigid days; long enough for everyone to get their fill. Ayden and Willow were shocked to find out how cold snow is and then how wet. They could not figure out how to layer and grew frustrated with the mittens, socks, scarves, hats, and zippers. For kids who grew up in shorts and flip flops at the most this was a lot of fuss just to get outside!
Our house has a gas fireplace in the little living room. I have always scoffed at gas fireplaces preferring the ruggedness of chopped wood and ashes all over everything and the “real experience.” I love my fireplace now. It was winter at its best snuggling up on the couch next to the fire with books and coffee. I had dreamed of winter days like that through many tropical Thanksgivings and Christmases.
The kids and I stumbled into a homeschool group that meets every Monday and we love it. We read and discuss books, take nature walks, write poetry, learn how to play new games, create art through many different mediums, and present our creations to the rest of the group. It was incredibly helpful for me as I struggled to figure out what homeschooling was going to look like for us.
On Thursdays our local library hosts a story hour with songs and crafts and we were there every week. I remember the library in Sitka, Alaska when I was Willow’s and Ayden’s age as a magical, almost mysterious, place. The kids and I spent many long afternoons at the library and we usually brought home about 15 beautiful childrens books for the week.
I attempted a winter garden but did not get much to grow. The weather was so erratic and I was late getting things into the ground; a farmer friend told me there were just not enough hours of sunlight. Everything germinated and stayed alive throughout the winter but the radishes, beets, and various greens did not mature. However, my ability to just keep things alive gave me confidence to try a garden in the Spring, so I still count it a success.


Many probably take for granted that their Bible contains 27 scriptures, beginning with the Gospels and ending with Revelation. Before the birth of Christ, on the other hand, there were certainly no writings that we would call ‘Christian writings’. What happened in between? This is indeed an exciting – and important matter for the foundation of our faith. In this part of the series we can only give an overview, based on the standard work on this subject by Bruce M. Metzger, “The Canon of the New Testament”, which I can only warmly recommend:
In the introduction he writes [This is my English translation of the German version. Unfortunately, I didn’t have an English copy.]:
The recognition of the canonical status of the various books of the New Testament was the result of a long and gradual process in which certain writings that were considered authoritative were separated from a much broader corpus of Christian literature. Although this was one of the most significant developments in the thought and practice of the early church, history is essentially silent as to how, when, and by whom it was set in motion. In the annals of the Christian church, nothing is more surprising than the absence of detailed accounts of such a significant process.Bruce M. Metzger „The Canon of the New Testament“, Introduction, p. 11 (italics not in the original)
So we do not know who started this process and when. Jesus did not do it. Nowhere do we read that he instructed his disciples to write a ‘holy book’. However, history and manuscripts provide us with a lot of clues as to how the process unfolded over a good three centuries. We can see that there was no master plan, no commission to produce exactly these 27 writings and form a canon from them. By the way, I use the term canon here in the sense of a list of books recognized by Christians. The word itself comes from the Greek and had many different meanings and was also used differently by Christians in the first centuries.
In order to better understand the formation of the canon, I present important events in the first four centuries:
What is probably immediately noticeable is the great time gap between the time of Jesus, the apostles and the creation of the scriptures and the evidence of different versions of the canon of the New Testament. The final establishment of the canon that we know did not happen until the fourth century at the time when Emperor Constantine promoted Christianity and the councils took place in which the doctrine of the Trinity was established as doctrine.
What authorities were recognized by Jesus’ disciples and what influence did they exercise?
1. From the first day of its existence, the Christian church possessed a canon of sacred writings – the Jewish scriptures. … The exact boundaries of the Jewish canon may not yet have been finally established, but its books were already sufficiently defined that it was possible to refer to them collectively as “scripture” (he grafe) or “the scriptures” (hai grafai) and to introduce quotations from them with the formula “it is written” (gegraptai).Bruce M. Metzger “The Canon of the New Testament,” Introduction, p. 12.
On the one hand, it is interesting that the canon of the Jewish scriptures was still discussed around the year 90 AD, although the translation into Greek (Septuagint) had already begun over 300 years earlier. The discussion was not about what should be included, since there was a whole series of books from the second temple period, but whether some should remain in the canon (Ecclesiastes, Esther, Solomon’s Song of Songs).
Second, it is important to note again, as in Part 2 of this series, what the Christian authors meant when they spoke of ‘the Scriptures’ or ‘the sacred writings’ in, for example, 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20, or Romans 15:4: They were the writings of the Jewish canon! Not their own! As we shall see, it was only later that Christians began to regard the writings of Paul or Peter in this way.
2. In the oldest Christian communities there was another authority that had found its place side by side with the Jewish Bible, namely the words of Jesus as they had been handed down orally. …
It is not surprising, therefore, that in the early church the words of Jesus, which were remembered, were highly esteemed and quoted, and thus took their place beside the law and the prophets, and were regarded as equal or superior to them in respect of their authority.Bruce M. Metzger “The Canon of the New Testament,” Introduction, pp. 12, 13.
Since today we no longer have the same oral tradition, but are very much fixated on the Bible as a book, we may not be so aware of the immense importance that oral tradition had until well into the second century. Perhaps the difference will impress itself on us by means of this diagram:
In the first century and early second century, the oral tradition through the disciples was still so strong that new teachings and writings were measured against it. Later – and even more so today – the writings became more and more authoritative because the chain of trustworthy transmitters of the oral tradition became too long and unreliable.
3. Parallel to the oral dissemination of Jesus’ teachings, apostolic interpretations arose on the significance of his person and work for the life of believers. …
Even if the writers of these apostolic letters are convinced that they speak with authority, they do not yet show the consciousness that their words could one day be considered the permanent norm of doctrine and life in the Christian church. They wrote for an immediate purpose and just as they would have spoken, they would have been able to be present with their addressees.Bruce M. Metzger “The Canon of the New Testament,” Introduction, pp. 13, 14.
There is a note in the footnote that references to autographs can be found among the patristic authors. Tertullian (De Preasc. Haer. 36) mentions Thessalonica among the cities to which apostolic letters were written and still read in the original. This would have been about the second half of the second century.
4. In the course of time, Christian literature gained in volume and was disseminated in various communities.
At the same time, allusions to the higher rank of the apostolic writers, who had lived so close to the time of Jesus’ earthly appearance, set the earlier documents apart from the contemporary writings and helped those to solidify as a separate literary coprus.
It is not surprising, therefore, that readers could, and did, distinguish between the “sound” of certain documents that were later identified as canonical and the ever-growing corpus of patristic literature.Bruce M. Metzger “The Canon of the New Testament,” Introduction, p. 15.
So, after the Jewish canon (Old Testament) and the words of Jesus, the writings of the apostles and others in the first century are now slowly receiving a special, higher status.
5. In the age that followed that of the apostles, the expression “the Lord and the apostles” represented the norm referred to in all matters of faith and life practice. …
It is precisely to this kind of public reading of the Christian documents that Justinus Martyr refers around 150 A.D. He tells us that it was customary to read out “the memory of the apostles” (i.e. the Gospels) or the writings of the prophets on Sundays at the services. Thus it came about that the Christian congregations became accustomed to regard the apostolic writings as in some sense equal to the older Jewish writings, and this liturgical custom, though it no doubt varied in the different congregations, stamped certain Gospels and Epistles as deserving special respect and obedience.Bruce M. Metzger “The Canon of the New Testament,” Introduction, p. 15.
Here we see the later development: by the fact that both “the scriptures” of the Jewish canon and the scriptures of the Christian authors were read side by side in the worship service, in the course of time they were perceived as equal to them for Christians.
6. In the second and third centuries, translations of the apostolic writings were made into Latin and Syriac, and possibly into the Coptic dialects of Egypt.Bruce M. Metzger “The Canon of the New Testament,” Introduction, p. 16.
In particular, the translations into the language of the people of Western Europe – Latin – led to the fact that already from something of the fourth century these were considered ‘the scriptures’ and no longer the Greek (or Aramaic) autographs. As we have already noted, already in the 4th century Eusebius had to begin to evaluate the variant manuscripts and the resulting Vulgate was to become ‘the Bible’ of Christians for many centuries.
This is the introduction of Bruce Metzger’s book. In the remaining almost 300 pages, one finds a multitude of historical facts.
In the patristic period, the writings of the apostolic fathers are characterized by the fact that they quote from the writings that were later included in the canon. But they are always only a part of them and different ones. All seem to know only a part of these writings.
For early Jewish Christians, the Bible consisted of the Old Testament and some Jewish apocryphal literature. Along with this written authority, mainly oral traditions of sayings attributed to Jesus circulated. On the other hand, authors who belonged to the Hellenistic wing of the Church more often refer to writings that would later become parts of the New Testament. At the same time, however, they considered such documents as “Scripture.”
Moreover, there was not yet an obligation to quote exactly from books that were not yet canonical in the full sense. … In short, we find both in the Jewish and Hellenistic groups a knowledge of the existence of certain books which later constitute the New Testament, and more than once they express their thoughts by sentences taken from these writings. These echoes aim to show that an implicit authority of such writings was felt before a theory of their authority had been developed. This authority, moreover, was in no way exclusionary.Bruce M. Metzger, “The Canon of the New Testament,” p. 79.
Typical for this time a letter around the year 95/96 AD, which according to tradition is attributed to Clement of Rome.
The Old Testament quotations are often introduced by such well-known formulas as “the Scripture says” (he grafe legei), “it is written” (gegraptai), “that which is written” (to gegrammenon), and are usually taken with great accuracy from the Greek text of the Septuagint. The situation is different with the few New Testament quotations. Rather than introducing gospel material with citation formulas that imply a written record, Clement twice urges his readers to “be mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus.” In 1 Clem 12:2, Clement compiles a number of phrases, some of which are found in Matthew and Luke, but others have no exact parallels in the four Gospels.
He is familiar with several of Paul’s letters and holds them in high esteem for their content; the same can be said of the Letter to the Hebrews, with which he is well acquainted. Even though these writings obviously have noteworthy importance for Clement, he never refers to them as authoritative scripture.Bruce M. Metzger “The Canon of the New Testament,” pp. 50, 52.
Metzger writes about the development of the canon in the East:
After the time of the Apostolic Fathers, we enter a new stage in the history of the books of the New Testament. The books of the canonical Gospels form a closed collection and are received by the entire Church in this form. The Pauline epistles are also considered inspired Scripture, and here and there the same is true of the Acts of the Apostles and the Revelation of John. A few other books are still on the fringes of the canon: the Epistle to the Hebrews, the Epistle of James, the Epistles of Peter, the Epistles of John, and the Epistle of Jude.Bruce M. Metzger, “The Canon of the New Testament,” p. 116.
With regard to the development of the canon in the West, I would like to highlight only one aspect in connection with Irenaeus of Lyons:
In contrast to the multitude of the new gospels of the Gnostics, the universal church at the time of Irenaeus recognizes only the four gospels or – as he expresses it – the one gospel in fourfold form (to euaggelion tetramofron). Their multiplicity is regarded as given and final.
“It cannot be at all that the number of the Gospels is greater or less than they sit, for in the world in which we live there are also only four cardinal points and four winds … The four living beasts (Acts 4:9) symbolize the four Gospels … and there are four main covenants with mankind: Noah, Abraham, Moses and Christ.” (Adv. Haer. III 9,8).
This means that for Irenaeus the canon of the Gospels is closed; its texts are sacred. The apostolic canon, on the other hand, is not yet closed, and it does not occur to him to theorize about their number, as with the Gospels, when he speaks of the twelve Pauline epistles, their addressees, or their attribution to Paul.Bruce M. Metzger, “The Canon of the New Testament,” p. 152.
For us it may be quite natural to speak of four Gospels. But in the first centuries this was not so. Otherwise Irenaeus would not have had to stoop to such numerical mysticism. “At that time, when there was no finished canon, it was by no means everywhere considered natural that different biographies of Jesus, even differing from each other to some extent, should have equal authority.” (S. 248). This did not happen until the development and completion of the canon. “There is reason to believe that a Gospel was newly in use in some churches long before the canon question was settled. Apparently only the Gospel of Matthew was in use throughout Palestine. In contrast, there were churches in Asia Minor that had only the Gospel of John from the beginning, and likewise Luke and Mark were read only in certain churches.” (S. 249)
As far as the number of reports about Jesus is concerned, already the introduction of Luke’s Gospel is interesting:
Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled a among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.Luke 1:1-4 NIV
So, many have already written gospels in the sense of reports about Jesus. But not all of them are in the canon. We will talk about that in a later part of this series. And there were the eyewitnesses and oral tradition.
In fact, there were dozens of other books that were at times considered canonical in certain individual churches (p. 163). These included apocryphal gospels, such as the Gospel of the Hebrews, the Gospel of the Egyptians, or the Gospel of Peter. There were also apocryphal Acts of the Apostles as well as apocryphal epistles. And finally, apocryphal apocalypses, such as the Apocalypse of Peter or the Apocalypse of Paul. For example, the Apocalypse of Peter is included in the list of canonical books in the Codex Claromontanus (p. 181).
In the Canon Muratori (probably late 2nd century), which is more a list of titles than a canon, are found (pp. 188ff): a) The Gospels. The Gospel of John is presented as representing the common teaching of the Twelve, whereas the others each transmit a particular individual tradition. b) The Acts of the Apostles. c) The Epistles of Paul, thirteen in number. d) Other Epistles. Epistle of Jude and two epistles of John. Then comes a “book of wisdom, of which was written by Solomon’s friends in his honor.” How this got in, no one understands to this day. e) Apocalypses. John’s and Peter’s apocalypses. Of the latter it says, “though some of us do not wish the latter to be read in church.” Which means, of course, that it was certainly read out. f) Excluded books.
Finally, a double categorization is found in Eusebius (p. 197):
First, Eusebius classifies the writings according to the criterion of canonicity and sets “canonical” against “non-canonical”. Then he distinguishes according to their character and sets “orthodox” against “heretical”. … But this classification can explain to us why Eusebius could assign the Revelation of John to two classes. The historian recognizes that the Scriptures are widely accepted, but as a churchman he knows of the extraordinary use that the Montanists and Millenarists make of the book. And so he is glad to be able to report in another place of his church history that others do not consider it genuine.Bruce M. Metzger, “The Canon of the New Testament,” p. 198.
It may sound dry and boring, but it raises an interesting question: Should a scripture be considered ‘holy scripture’ simply because it is part of a canon? What do most Christians do today when presented with a scripture and asked if it is inspired by God? Exactly, tif hey find the scripture in their Bible, then it’s ok. But the list of books in our Bible is exactly the canon of the New Testament that was worked out in the first four centuries. In the first century, the content was checked against the orally transmitted teachings. And by the time of Eusebius, one was now kind of in between. If a scripture was read over and over again in the congregation on Sundays, then it was part of a ‘canon’ and therefore to be accepted, right? That’s roughly the first division of Eusebius. But he also still has the second: Is the Scripture ‘orthodox’ in content, that is, does it agree with the teachings of the Church? Many of the Church Fathers also found other writings to be useful and suitable for reading aloud, but did not necessarily count them among the narrower circle of writings recognized by most. The Shepherd of Hermas, for example, was such a scripture.
As late as 325 A.D., Eusebiuus reports that in the Church in the East the authority of most of the Catholic epistles (i.e., general, not addressed to a specific congregation) and the Revelation of John is still doubtful. (S. 201)
Even as late as 691/692, this is expressed in an astonishing conciliar decision by the Trullanic Synod: “Indirectly, with regard to a biblical canon, the Council sanctioned hardly coherent and downright contradictory opinions. For example, we have seen that the Synod of Carthage and Athanasius recognized the minor Catholic letters and Revelation as canonical, whereas the Synod of Laodicea and the Eighty-fifth Apostolic Canon rejected them. The latter canon regards the two Clementine epistles as canonical, while the others reject them.” (p. 208) In summary, Metzger writes: “The official lectionaries of the Greek Church do not contain the Revelation of John in either Byzantine or modern times. This makes clear the inferior position of this book in the East. And it is significant that, taking into account the number of all extant copies, very few Christians are likely ever to have seen or possessed an entire New Testament.” (S. 209)
The last sentence in particular raises an important question: How does the idea that God and Jesus would have planned that a canon of these 27 books is exactly what every follower of Jesus needs fit with the historical fact that in the early centuries virtually no Christian ever saw or heard the complete canon of the New Testament in his or her lifetime?
Metzger summarizes the development in the West as follows: “Twenty-seven books, no more, no less – this has been the slogan in the entire Latin Church ever since. It would be wrong to present it as if the canon question had been settled for all Christian churches at the beginning of the fifth century. The manuscripts of the Pauline Epistles (and entire Bibles) were not immediately expanded or replaced by complete copies, and thus the Epistle to the Hebrews was given the place now officially accorded to it. Thus, the Letter to the Hebrews is missing from a Latin and Greek manuscript (MS G) from the 9th century. On the other hand, manuscripts with the Letter to the Laodiceans appear. Thus, in spite of the influence of Jerome, Augustine and the decisions of the three provincial syndodes, in the following centuries we find more than once testimonies that deviate from the canon: Either writings are added, or some are missing.“ (p. 227)
Since we have already recognized so much about the history of the canon just in a few minutes, we can compare this with what the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses says about the canon in the book Insights on the Holy Scriptures – Volume 1 under the keyword ‘Inspiration’:
However, even as God by his spirit, or active force, granted to certain Christians the “discernment of inspired utterances,” he could also guide the governing body of the Christian congregation in discerning which inspired writings were to be included in the canon of the Sacred Scriptures.—1Co 12:10; see CANON.Insights on the Holy Scriptures – Volume 1, p. 1205 (italic by me)
If, as in the literature of Jehovah’s Witnesses, ‘governing body’ means the assembly of apostles and elders in Jerusalem according to Acts 15, then it did not compile a canon. How could it have, if most parts of it did not exist yet. Otherwise, the popes and bishops would have to be regarded as the ‘governing body’ until the 5th century, which was hardly intended. So it is simply false and misleading, and is simply meant to detract from the scriptural statement that Christians – and not just ‘certain Christians’ either – could discern through the Holy Spirit. Ok, back to the topic.
Today, the canon of the New Testament looks as stable as if it had been designed directly by God, with exactly 27 books. But this was the result of the development of the canon in the West of the Church over a period of at least 400 years. So is the canon only man’s work? Everyone must form his own opinion on this, and the following text by Metzger is helpful:
Without wanting to extend the discussion here to the paradox of double causation, i.e. human and divine, according to which events can be caused by God as well as by man, it must be asked whether Marxsen is justified in declaring that “from the historical point of view the canon is a product of chance”. Marxsen’s judgment is not a necessary consequence of historical science, but a purely philosophical judgment. There is no historical data to prevent one from safely subscribing to the view of the universal Church that, in spite of all human conditions (confusio hominum) in the production, preservation, and collection of the books of the New Testament, the whole process can rightly be regarded also as a result of divine providence (providentia dei). This is nowhere more evident than in cases where a book has been recognized as canonical on obviously erroneous grounds. For example, much of the Church erred in attributing the anonymous Letter to the Hebrews to the Apostle Paul. Everyone will agree, however, that they were intuitively correct and in the course of time recognized the intrinsic value of the letter.Bruce M. Metzger “The Canon of the New Testament,” p. 268.
“There are no historical data which prevent …” means, however, also that the historical data do not really force the conclusion that God’s hand was the leading here.
We should also not forget the temporal dimension that we saw in the diagram at the beginning. And that it was the same ecclesiastical dignitaries who established the canon, including doctrines such as the Trinity, and who share responsibility for the persecution of all other opinions.
We also tend to see the result of this process: Finally, the New Testament is restored. And with that, all is well. We have seen that this process is not yet over and that many writings of the first century – let alone the oral tradition – are no longer available to us. And most importantly, during this centuries-long process, Christians had no canon of unadulterated and trustworthy writings.
Concerning our assertion from the first part of the series, I interpret the part “thus contains exactly what God wanted” in such a way that it excludes any human influence. If one understands it in such a way, then one must delete this on the basis of the facts known to us now also.
“The Bible is God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, fully inspired by God and
thus containing exactly what God intended. It has been preserved for us to this day exactly as the Bible itself says so, every book, paragraph, sentence, word, comma and period.“
I know that some people will now look at this sentence in despair and ask whether there is anything left at all. But we must not forget that this sentence represents a very, very far-reaching assertion – which cannot be held like that. But just beneath the surface of this perfect wishful thinking, we find more solid ground. Or to put it more casually, you can wait like the proverbial princess until the ideal, perfect prince charming arrives. Or become happy together with the real prince, who comes as close as possible to the ideal one.


Night of the Living Dead Christian by Matt Mikalatos is a tale of werewolves, zombies, mad scientists, and other monsters and monster hunters. Luther, Matt’s neighbor, is a werewolf whose wife and daughter have left him because of his inability to control his anger. Matt and others try to help Luther find a way to transform into the person he knows he was meant to be—and in the process find themselves drawn to the One who changes us from the inside out.
The spiritual allegory had me identifying much too closely with the monsters and taking a long hard look at my relationship with Jesus, who has the ability to change every monster into they should be.
If you’re looking for an entertaining and thought-provoking read, Night of the Living Dead Christian should be at the top of your list. I highly recommend that you get a copy before the monsters in your neighborhood grabs them all!
Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book from Tyndale Media Center. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

From zombie apocalypses to multiverse-eating villains, DC, Marvel, Image and more have published iconic comics revolving around the end of worlds.
Humans have always been fascinated with the apocalypse. Going back to ancient history, the end of the world was just as crucial to many mythologies as its creation. But as storytelling evolved from oral myths to written poems and books, the apocalypse followed along all the way to the present day.
The comics medium has been no exception to this rule. Some of the most famous and successful comics in history have been set before, during, or after the apocalypse with Watchmen featuring a plot that withheld the truth from humanity, and The Walking Dead revitalizing the zombie genre. Comics published by Marvel, DC, Image and more contain the best apocalyptic stories ever written.
The Terminator films are renowned as some of the best time travel movies ever made, and yet most of its expanded universe focuses on the apocalyptic future. Of all of these, Terminator: The Burning Earth is among the most critically-acclaimed, written by Ron Fortier and featuring award-winning artist Alex Ross in his comic debut.
The Future War is in its final days, and both the Resistance and Skynet are desperate and taking drastic gambles to strike the killing blow first. Skynet plans to finish Judgment Day, carpet-bombing the world with nukes, and John Connor leads a near-suicidal strike on the Skynet mainframe. The dramatic tension and pulse-pounding action in a broken world make the time-travel struggles all the more exciting.
DCeased is one of the darkest stories in all of DC Comics and sees the world destroyed by a zombie virus derived from the Anti-Life Equation infecting most of the heroes and villains. Written by Tom Taylor and with art by Trevor Hairsine and Stefano Guadiano, it features heartbreaking deaths, sacrifices, and emotional reckonings that tear through the DC universe.
Not only is DCeased an amazing zombie apocalypse story in its own right, with amazing fight scenes and drama, but it also features fantastic character arcs for both DC's most famous and less-renowned characters. Everyone from John Constantine to Booster Gold has their own arc, and the story of Superman, Black Canary, Deathstroke, and Poison Ivy are some of the best for a DC miniseries.
Regarded as one of Marvel's best horror comics, Marvel Zombies is different from typical zombie stories. Unlike DCeased, which features what one might call the "typical" zombie in spite of its supernatural origins, the zombies in Marvel Zombies are more like addicts than shambling corpses.
Written by Robert Kirkman and featuring artists Sean Phillips and Arthur Suydam, an alternate Earth is suddenly afflicted by "the Hunger" which begins infecting many of the heroes and villains of the Marvel universe. The zombies largely retain their personalities and intelligence but constantly need to feed on human flesh, and if this need becomes overwhelming, they devolve into a near-feral state. The comic ends with a theme of cosmic horror, as the zombie superheroes end up devouring Galactus himself, as their hunger enhanced by his power leads them to consume entire worlds.
Space Westerns are back in force, and East Of West is here to prove it. Set in a dystopian America, writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Nick Dragotta depicted a world where the Civil War continued for over half a century and devolved into multiple competing factions, only to be ended by the impact of a massive comet in Kansas. These events prophesied the apocalypse, and the four horsemen of the apocalypse arrived to fulfill their respective parts of the prophecy.
But as they interacted with humans, and even formed families with them, the horsemen began to fight among themselves. After Death's family is killed by the other horsemen, Death swears revenge on them and their followers, and now seeks to derail the apocalypse. This combination of religious mythology, fantasy, and western tropes make for one of the most engrossing sci-fi comics of all time.
Jeff Lemire, acting as artist and writer, delivered an amazing art style and compelling narrative that led Sweet Tooth to earn its place in comic history. With a mysterious plague ravaging humanity and animal-human hybrids popping up all over the place, a young deer-human hybrid named Gus finds himself on the run and under the protection of the gruff and aging survivor Jepperd.
The mixture of post-apocalyptic violence, religious themes, and fairy-tale influences make for a wholly unique story. Further distinguished by its gritty art, Sweet Tooth is a must-read for any fan of post-apocalyptic comics.
The X-Men's first foray into changing the future, Days Of Future Past is also one of their most legendary. Writers Chris Claremont and John Byrne and inker Terry Austin depict a hellish future in the far-off year of 2013, where man-made robots known as sentinels forced the population of America into internment camps, separating the humans from the mutants to "protect" them and exterminating the mutants.
The remaining X-Men place all their hopes in Kitty Pryde, gambling that she can use her phasing ability to send her own mind back in time to possess her younger self. Miraculously, the plan succeeds, and Kitty helps prevent what they believe to be the cause of their apocalypse: the assassination of Professor X, Moira MacTaggert, and Senator Robert Kelly. Or is it? The comic never shows the future again, and the readers are left wondering if the apocalypse has been prevented, or merely changed its course.
Crisis on Infinite Earths is one of the most successful and important DC Comics stories ever told and has become the blueprint for event and crossover comics. Written by Marv Wolfman and penciled by renowned artist George Pérez, the Crisis was meant to reshape the entire DC Comics Multiverse, and reset it with a new single universe without just abandoning the old stories, instead giving them a climactic conclusion.
Crisis on Infinite Earths set the standard for crossover comics, and it has since been imitated in both Marvel and DC when resetting their comic multiverses, if not in substance and story, then at least in its style. The gripping emotional conclusion to the stories of so many beloved characters, alongside Pérez's masterful artwork make the Crisis one of the most important events in comic history.
There is no hope left in the world of Y: The Last Man. On July 17th, 2002, every single living organism with a Y chromosome instantly dies, with only two exceptions: Yorick Brown and his pet Capuchin monkey, Ampersand.
The celebrated author Brian K. Vaughan and accomplished artists Pia Guerra, Goran Sudžuka, Paul Chadwick, and Jose Marzan Jr. delivered an instant classic. The first issue alone is filled with tension, as the first panels show the panic after the androcide, only to divert and connect with men and women around the world. Knowing what is coming, audiences dread the reactions of these people they have just come to know, fully aware that all the men will die.
The Walking Dead is notable because it's really just a drama series with a zombie setting, more than it is a zombie story. Its premise revolves around demonstrating what humanity becomes when societal constructs collapse, but more importantly, it shows what we also retain: love, hope, and strength.
Writer Robert Kirkman and artists Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard created what might be one of the greatest post-apocalyptic stories ever told, and was a major player in the zombie renaissance of the mid-2000s. The Walking Dead has arguably become the face of post-apocalyptic zombie genre, even eclipsing its inspirations, Resident Evil and George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead franchise.
Watchmen remains an untouchable masterpiece. Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins created one of the most visually stunning and enthralling stories ever put into comic form due to Moore's attention to detail.
The clock is counting down in Watchmen, and the world is on the verge of a nuclear war. When the United States ace in the hole, the superhero Dr. Manhattan, becomes the victim of a media conspiracy and flees the planet, the Soviet Union seizes the opportunity to invade their neighbors. The world is saved, but only by the manipulations of Ozymandias, who destroys New York City with a monster he created to give mankind a bigger threat to unite against. Is this the price of peace? That's up to the readers to decide.

The anthology on the "Enterprise Transformation Cycle" (ETC) is entering its second round: Following the great demand for practical success stories on implemented corporate transformations, the second part is now about to be published. In August 2020, "Mastering transformation projects with the Enterprise Transformation Cycle: successfully planning, implementing and completing projects", published by Professor Dr. Peter Steinhoff and Professor Dr. Mario Pfannstiel. In the following interview, TCI partner Peter Steinhoff provides interesting insights into how this book came about, what readers can expect from it and which questions the work will answer in detail.
How corporate transformation succeeds - an interview with Prof. Dr. Peter Steinhoff
Hello Professor Dr. Steinhoff! The first book "The Enterprise Transformation Cycle" was a complete success. Now the second book entitled "Mastering transformation projects with the Enterprise Transformation Cycle: successfully planning, implementing and completing projects" will be published next August 2020. How did this come about?
After the year 2018 the first book on the Enterprise Transformation Cycle (ETC) with the subtitle "Theory, Application, Practice" We received a great deal of positive feedback and requests for the application of the ETC in other transformation situations. Furthermore, not all colleagues who wanted to could contribute to the first volume due to the chapter limitations. This made us very aware of the enormous experience of the TCI partners in the field of transformation: the broad field of application, practical suitability and dissemination of the ETC. As a result, we decided to produce another book and could probably publish several more volumes (laughs).
What is the aim of this book, the second volume, when it comes onto the market?
The objective of this book has not changed significantly from the first project. The Enterprise Transformation Cycle is a recognized and valuable tool that has been used in practice for almost 20 years by consultants to transform corporate processes in a wide range of industries. However, the findings and experiences from these projects have never been collected and published until now. The aim of this book is to bring together this expert knowledge in a book and summarize it in a structured way.
With this book, Professor Pfannstiel and I want to create a reference book that supports decision-makers in the planning, implementation and organization of change projects and provides a framework for action.
We - as transformation experts - can provide the necessary support; through consultants who provide the necessary inspiration and thus accompany, guide and support transformation processes. With the contributions in the book, we have been able to show that we have a wealth of expertise and practical experience in this field for almost 20 years.
This book once again focuses on the topic of "transformation", which is on everyone's lips in companies due to globalization and digitalization. What challenges are companies facing here?
The pace of change in society, politics and companies has increased dramatically in recent years. In this context, the term VUCA world is often used - a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.
Many companies that were very successful on the market until recently have disappeared into insignificance. Digitalization, globalization and many other megatrends require a consistent rethink in companies in order to continue to operate successfully on the market. And now the coronavirus has been added to the mix and will accelerate the pace of change at breathtaking speed. With the ETC, we have provided a method that can be used to accompany or manage such a transformation in the face of VUCA in companies.
Essential success factors for transformation projects and their implementation
In your book, you show how transformation projects can be successfully implemented, mastered and, above all, completed. In your opinion, what are the success factors?
The key success factor of a transformation is the Corporate culture. It can be seen as both a driving and a limiting factor. If the corporate culture acts as a limiting factor, a decision must be made as to whether it makes more sense to adapt the transformation concept to the corporate culture. This decision naturally depends on the time frame, financial resources and the need for urgency. However, the basic consideration of the ETC is the sequence "strategy follows culture". In a reverse sequence - "culture follows strategy" - a successful transformation requires a strong need for change, a strong impetus from outside and close integration with the inside of the company.
However, it is also clear that the more a corporate culture is aligned with the objectives of the changes, the more likely it is that the transformation will succeed. It is important to remember that a corporate strategy can be changed within a few weeks and the organizational structure can be adapted in a short space of time. However, a transformation is only successful if it is also lived and thus supported by the corporate culture. However, this change can take several years.
The book "Mastering transformation projects with the Enterprise Transformation Cycle" is another practical work with numerous authors. What specific topics are covered?
The first part of the book, "Transformation Management", deals with the success factors, challenges and potentials in the context of digital transformation in companies. The second part of the book, "Transformation processes", focuses on the management, steering and control of transformation processes. Part three deals with "transformation relationships" and considers the customer, consultant and employee perspectives when developing, implementing and assessing a strategy for companies. The fourth and final part of the book, "Transformation projects", refers to the implementation of corporate projects. It highlights the importance of collaboration, communication and teamwork.
Thank you very much, Professor Dr. Steinhoff, for the interesting and a first exciting insight into the book! We are very much looking forward to the publication and wish you every success for the final spurt!
The interview with Professor Dr. Peter Steinhoff led by Oliver Foitzik.
"Mastering transformation projects with the Enterprise Transformation Cycle" (August 2020)
The Transformation Consulting International combines many years of extensive experience in the successful implementation of transformation projects in companies - both nationally and internationally. On this basis, the first volume Published by the renowned Springer-Verlag in 2018. The forthcoming volume two, also edited by Peter F.-J. Steinhoff and Mario A- Pfannstiel, will now be published in August 2020 with the title "Mastering transformation projects with the Enterprise Transformation Cycle: successfully planning, implementing and completing projects". The focus here is therefore primarily on concrete implementation and valuable tips on the application of the ETC.

I was confused during parts of this book simply because there as so much symbolizing in the book it felt like you were being beaten with it. The book is an attack on imperialism and does it really well. i think that if you understand symbolism the book is definitely worth reading becaise as awful as the topic of the book and the pictures it depicts, it was one of those books that stay with you after you read it. If you are looking for a book that has a HEA than this is not the book for you. But it sicks with you and makes some points that are hard to disagree with, even in our own current society.

|October 2005||Monetary and Exchange Rate Policy Coordination in ASEAN 1|
with : w11713
This paper develops the basis for monetary and exchange rate coordination in Asia as part of a package of monetary integration that could support growth and poverty reduction. This could be achieved directly through coordinated exchange rate stabilization, and indirectly through the implications of this for reserve pooling and investment in an Asian development fund (ADF) and through development of the Asian bond market (ABM). Macro policy coordination could be viewed as a necessary condition for further development of both reserve pooling via the Chiang Mai Initiative (CMI) and of the ABM. The paper analyzes the trade structure of ASEAN and China in terms of both geographic sources of imports and markets for exports, and of the commodity structure of trade. The similarities of the geo...


Espero que os meus colegas não levem a mal este espaço de publicidade, solicitado pela equipe que tentará dinamizar a Escola Austríaca em Portugal (no meu entender, aquela que epistemologicamente melhor se encaixa na tradição intelectual católica, de resto, onde tem as suas raízes e autores, desde a chamada pré-Escola Austríaca, com os escolásticos da Península Ibérica, e ainda em França, Irlanda, e depois em Viena - mais, melhor, antes, e depois, que a tradição anglo-saxónica):
"Caríssimos simpatizantes do Instituto Ludwig von Mises Portugal (IMP), O Instituto tem o prazer de vos convidar para o Jantar de Apresentação da nova equipa do IMP. Serão apresentados os novos projectos do Instituto, nomeadamente um Ciclo de Conferências do Liberalismo que se avizinha.
O jantar terá lugar no Porto, no Restaurante Varanda da Barra, pelas 21h do próximo dia 19 de Setembro.
É obrigatória a confirmação de presença, apenas sendo necessário mandar e-mail para email@example.com até ao dia 15."
PS: O primeiro tratado formal de economia moderna deve ser apontado a Richard Cantillon (1680-1734) com o seu:
"Joseph Schumpeter, the great historian of economic thought and student of Eugen von Bohm-Bawerk, described the Essai as "the first systematic penetration of the field of economics." In his treatise on the history of economic thought, Murray N. Rothbard named Cantillon "the founding father of modern economics."
The mystery of Richard Cantillon begins with his birth, which is now placed during the 1680s in southwest Ireland. He was born into a family of Catholic landlords who had fought for the Stuart cause, and thus were dispossessed of their lands by Cromwell. His origins in the landed gentry shines through in the Essai where the landlord, the truly independent person in the economy, plays the crucial decisionmaking role in both production and consumption.
The Essai follows a progressive arrangement of ideas appropriate for the elucidation of economic theory (like Menger's Principles), and also shows many links to Cantillon's own life.
Part one is an analysis of the real economy of the isolated state loosely based on the precapitalist economy of his family's heritage.
The second half of part one is where Cantillon becomes the first economist to develop the key Austrian insights concerning the entrepreneur and the role entrepreneurship plays in the economy. The entrepreneur is the bearer of risks inflicted by the changes in market demand. This is a direct reflection of Cantillon's own early career as an assistant to British Paymaster James Bridges during the War of Spanish Succession. There he learned and excelled in the role of accountant and contract negotiator, and learned the basics of banking and international finance.
In part two of the Essai, Cantillon laid out his pathbreaking Austrian analysis of the monetary economy, exposing the great error of mercantilism (that money is wealth).
In part three of the Essai, Cantillon addresses the issues of foreign trade, exchange rates, and the role of banks. Here, Cantillon makes some of his most important contributions to economic understanding. This section is a critique of mercantilist policies and the financial innovations of John Law during the Mississippi System and South Sea Bubble. This is a reflection of the third period in Cantillon's career, during which he made a fortune by understanding Law's system and its inevitable consequences."

By sending the reels to yourself, you ensure that you have easy access to them whenever you want.
Secondly, sending reels to yourself allows you to curate a collection of your favorite content. Whether it's funny videos, inspiring quotes, or helpful tutorials, you can create a personalized library of reels that you can revisit whenever you need a pick-me-up or some inspiration. This can be especially useful for content creators who want to study and learn from other creators' techniques.

Sending reels to yourself on Instagram offers several benefits. Firstly, it allows you to create a personal collection of your favorite content. Whether it's funny videos, informative tutorials, or stunning visuals, you can curate a library that reflects your interests and preferences.
Secondly, sending reels to yourself ensures that you have easy access to the content you love, even if it gets buried in your feed or disappears from the explore page. This is particularly useful for content creators who want to study and learn from other creators' techniques. By saving reels to yourself, you can refer back to them whenever you need inspiration or want to analyze specific aspects of the content.
Lastly, sending reels to yourself enables you to easily share them with others. Perhaps you stumbled upon a reel that you think your friend would love, or you want to showcase your favorite content in a presentation or blog post. By having the reels sent to your own direct messages, you can easily forward them to others or download them for offline use.
Now that you know how to send reels to yourself and the benefits it offers, let's explore some creative ways to use this feature:
While sending reels to yourself on Instagram is generally a smooth process, there may be some common issues that you might encounter. Here are a few troubleshooting tips to help you overcome them:
Sending reels to yourself on Instagram is a powerful feature that allows you to save and share your favorite content with ease. Whether you're looking to curate a library of inspiration, share content with your team, or plan your content strategy, this feature has got you covered. With the step-by-step guide and troubleshooting tips provided in this article, you'll be sending reels to yourself like a pro in no time. So go ahead, give it a try, and unlock the full potential of Instagram's reel feature. Happy sharing!
Yes, you can send a reel to yourself on Instagram using the following steps:
As of the latest update, Instagram does not have a direct feature to save reels to your phone's camera roll. However, you can use third-party apps or screen recording features on your device to capture the reel and save it to your phone.
Currently, Instagram does not have a feature that allows you to send a reel to someone else and yourself simultaneously. If you want to save the reel for yourself, you can send it to your own story and then share it with others from your story.


The history of the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be brought to life this summer as the British Library and International Olympic Committee present Olympex 2012: Collecting the Olympic Games.
The exhibition is comprised of personal memorabilia collected from the historic games of years gone by, focussing on the 1908 to 1948 Olympics, before television began to cover every aspect of the Games.
Open from 25 July to 9 September and completely free, the British Library (located near Kings Cross station) will be host to items and experts of Olympics history. That includes 2,500 stamps, letters and postcards to and from Olympians; artwork and posters; and items of great significance such as the finishing line broken by legendary marathon runner Dorando Pietri prior to his disqualification.
The exhibition displays not only how the Games have changed over more than a century, but also their impact on the lives of competitors, public figures and Londoners across the capital.
Besides the physical memorabilia on offer are fascinating audio interviews from the British Library’s archives. Visitors can listen to Olympians of days gone talking about the biggest moments of the Games of their eras. From the atmosphere of Nazi Germany and the 1936 Berlin Games and Team GB’s brave decision not to salute Hitler, to comparing the London 1948 Games that followed the war to Hitler’s Olympics that preceded it, there are controversial and groundbreaking issues all described by those involved.
And that’s not the last of the British Library’s involvement in this summer’s Games. Their own Dr Richard Price, Head of Content and Research Strategy, has had his poem ‘Hedge Sparrows’ chosen to represent Great Britain this summer. As part of the Cultural Olympiad Project, Written World chose a poem for each of the 204 competing nations, and ‘Hedge Sparrows’ not only gives a voice to the bird found in every corner of Great Britain, but also to the nation in this poetic project that celebrates the language of the world.
All the poems are available to be read on the Scottish Poetry Library website via their interactive World Map here.
Where is it: The British Library is located at 96 Euston Road
Nearest tube: Kings Cross or St Pancras.
Hours: 10am-6pm on weekdays, except for Tuesday when it stays open till 8pm; 10am-5pm Saturday, 11am-5pm Sunday
Watching the Games: There are no screens available in the British Library.
Highlights: Audio interviews from past British Olympians. Thousands of pieces of Olympic memorabilia. A chance to make your own Olympic souvenir.

One ban and the dispute over damages. The results of the sanctions against propaganda books from Russia
Restrictions on the import of Russian books operates in Ukraine for more than six months.
During this time, under a complete ban on the importation and distribution in the country fell until only one book: “Big book of student”, written by Sean Connolly, published in Russian publishing house “Azbuka-Atticus” (Moscow).
“It contains a contradictory view of history. The expert Council recognized such a publication is unacceptable for distribution in Ukraine”, – commented on the situation around banned books, the chief of Department of the analysis and development of information space of the state Committee of television and radio (the state Committee) of Ukraine Sergey Oleynik.
The forbidden books. The court began the sentencing of the former Director of the Ukrainian library in Moscow
This Committee implements the provisions of the law prohibiting the importation of books with anti-Ukrainian content from Russia-occupied regions in the Donbas and annexed Crimea.
The corresponding law, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted last year in December. Then the deputies voted to publishing products from Russia could be imported into the customs territory of Ukraine only with a special permit. Without a permit you can carry only 10 copies of Russian literature in hand Luggage or Luggage.
Entered into force the law of January 2017. So Kiev is trying to limit the spread in Ukraine of books with Russian propaganda.

Strict criteria to imported books
To find the edition with the anti-Ukrainian contents, all the books from Russia are reviewed. It is implemented by the Expert Council under the state Committee of Ukraine, employing scientists, writers, historians, journalists.
They read books, study the official review, and documentation of copyright on it, which is obliged to provide the publisher to get permission for the import of books from Russia. Publishing products, which refers to the elimination of independence of Ukraine, violating its sovereignty and territorial integrity promoted by the Communist or national-socialist totalitarian regimes, the state-aggressor (Russia – Ed.) and, in particular, its authorities, permission to import and distribution in Ukraine is not getting.
The state Committee in may of this year has developed criteria by which books are processed by the Expert Council. Since that time, Russian books began to arrive on the shelves of Ukrainian bookstores.
According to the criteria of the state Committee, especially in the story works must not justify the occupation of the territory of Ukraine, acts of aggression by other States, the outbreak of war. Also in the books should not be promoted to the Imperial geopolitical doctrines that promote the integration of peoples around Russia. In addition, the author or co-author of the book should not be included in the list of persons who pose a threat to national security of Ukraine.

Books become contraband
If these criteria are met, then the publisher gives permission for the importation and distribution in Ukraine of books published in Russia for 5 years.
“Since the end of may we issued 415 permits for the import of books from Russia. Still in the process of placing orders to permit for 108 books”, – said Sergey Oleynik.
According to him, basically, was the children’s books, fiction, Russian translations of international bestsellers. However, the publishers had refused to issue permission for one book (we are talking about the “Great encyclopedia of the student.” – Ed.). Long delayed the issuance of permits for 86 publications due to improper paperwork.
“Now they are preparing another request,” says Olejnik.
Publishers are already counting their losses. According to the Ukrainian Association of publishers and booksellers, every year the country imported 100 thousand names of books. Of these, only a small part of Europe, and the rest from Russia. Now the situation has changed dramatically.
“Such a hard mechanism to limit imports of Russian books not needed in that extent. It turned out a complicated bureaucratic procedure for legal sale and optimal conditions for illegal books now imported in bags, such as smuggling. Who will benefit?”, – rhetorically asks the President of the Association of publishers and booksellers Alexander Afonin. However, he noted that Ukraine has a deficit of scientific-methodical literature, medical reference books, business books, which are traditionally imported to Ukraine from Russia.

On them, according to Afonina, price has tripled, because this literature is not possible to buy in electronic form.
“Limited only by one way books to the reader. If you wish to the Internet you can buy anything on Russian sites, but not reference books. It worked against booksellers in Ukraine, who are already barely survive. They earned mostly on sales of Russian books. Now very few of them”, – said A. Afonin.

Filling a niche
Publisher and writer Vitalii Kapranov recognizes that because of the restrictions on the import of Russian books in Ukraine has decreased the number of specialized scientific literature.
However, in his opinion, the reason for this is the decline of Ukrainian science.
And that this should start to solve this problem, says Kapranov. At the same time, he notes that the prohibition of printed products from Russia the anti-Ukrainian contents worked in favor of the Ukrainian readers that have demonstrated international fair “Book Arsenal”, which took place in Kiev in late may.
There the books presented more than 150 publishers and 50 well-known writers from the United States, Europe and Asia.
All five days of the festival at the entrance stood a queue of those wishing to visit a book exhibition.
“No complaints that there has not been presented to the Russian books, we haven’t heard. Today a boom for Ukrainian translation. Prices that soared at times. Ukrainian publishers are buying the right translation in the Ukrainian language world novelties and classics. This filling of the former Russian niche” , – said Vitaly Kapranov DW.
Alla Mazur said, what most struck her son in the book, “Independence through the eyes TSN”
He believes that over time the niche of Ukrainian translated literature is the works of Ukrainian writers. However, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in April of this year, there was a bill that provides for a complete ban of import on the territory of Ukraine of Russian books.
Now he considers the parliamentary Committee.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear was our main book for these two weeks, but that doesn't mean we didn't read lots of other color books!
I thought I would share E's favorites:
Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by James Dean & Eric Litwin - I must have sounded so dorky singing Pete's song, but E got such a kick out of it. She was calling out the color of Pete's shoes before I even turned the page by the end of the first week.
Freight Train by Donald Crews - Read how I made this book more interactive here. I don't know why such a simple book was such a big hit. When I would tell E to grab one of the color books for me to read to her, this was ALWAYS her first choice.
The Mixed Up Chameleon by Eric Carle - Confession: this book creeps me out! BUT E loveeed it. So we read it. Over, and over, and over again. A chameleon is tired of living a boring life and wishes it had body parts from all kinds of different animals, making a very mixed up chameleon!
Monsters Love Colors by Mike Austin - Monsters with crayons! E isn't really into monsters so we only read this a few times, but I'm including it because I think many other children would enjoy it.
Duck & Goose Colors by Tad Hills - We love Duck & Goose books around here! This one explores colors, and made E giggle with all the lovely illustrations.
Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh - Read how I made this book more interactive here. Three mice jump into puddles of paint and splash around making new colors.
White Rabbit's Color Book by Alan Baker - Similar concept to Mouse Paint, a white rabbit bathes in jars of paint, then mixes colors and washes himself clean over and over until there isn't any more water left.
A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni - A chameleon is sad at never having a color of his own. Hoping to finally stay one color, it rests on a leaf, only the leaf changes colors with seasons until it falls to the ground. The chameleon meets another chameleon who suggests they stick together and while they will still change colors, they will always be the same color together.
Little Green Peas by Keith Baker - Another silly book that made E giggle like crazy. Each page has a color written and objects matching that color. Turning the page you read "and little green peas!". Seriously, a toddler favorite. E knew what was coming when I turned the page and would go bananas over the green peas.
This one was my favorite:
Rainbow Stew by Cathryn Falwell - I loved the illustrations and the rhyming text of this book. It follows siblings spending the a rainy day at their grandparent's house. They go outside in the garden and pick all kinds of fresh colorful vegetables for their grandpa's famous Rainbow Stew.
