The purpose of this Companion is to provide not only a broad overview of research in relation to young people in the current context of planetary crisis but also a space for critical, innovative, imaginative, diverse and inclusive examinations of complex and often under-explored issues in relation to young people and sustainable futures. With this in mind, we are looking for contributions that engage with the following issues and themes that add complexity, detail and insight into the challenges and opportunities for young people and sustainable futures under the influence of the SDGs. The list is not exhaustive, the themes may intersect, and we will consider abstracts that engage with other themes:
- Young people’s activism for sustainable futures (for example, the Fridays for Future/School Strikes For Climate movements)
- Young people, diversity (class, gender, sexualities, religious, abilities, neuro-diversity, geography) and sustainable futures;
- Young people and the challenges and opportunities for sustainable development/futures in postcolonial and Small Island development contexts;
- Young people, First Nations’ knowledge and sustainable futures;
- Globalised neoliberal capitalism, young people’s well-being, education, training (TVET) and employment pathways and sustainable futures;
- Place-based responses and young people’s sustainable futures;
- Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and UN SDG 4.7: By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development;
- Policy analyses of government, NGO, and business policy and program responses to, and responsibilities for, the challenges and opportunities for young people’s sustainable futures;
- Innovative theoretical and methodological approaches (post-humanism, critical development studies, postcolonial theories, eco-socialism…) to the rise of Anthropocene and young people’s sustainable futures;
- Young people, ‘planetary health’, and the reimagination and co-design of innovative approaches to equitable and inclusive health and wellbeing (physical, mental, social, spiritual, environmental) in the post-COVID 19 and decarbonising world out to 2050.

Emma Sterner-Radley spent far too much time hopping from subject to subject at university, back in her native country of Sweden. One day, she finally emerged with a degree in Library and Information Science. She thought libraries was her thing, because she wanted to work with books, and being an author was just an impossible dream, right? Wrong. She’s now a writer and a publisher. (But still a librarian at heart, too.)
She lives with her wife and two cats in England. There is no point in saying which city, as they move about once a year. She spends her free time writing, reading, daydreaming, working out, and watching whichever television show has the most lesbian subtext at the time.
Her tastes in most things usually lean towards the quirky and she loves genres like urban fantasy, magic realism, and steampunk.
Emma is also a hopeless sap for any small chubby creature with tiny legs, and can often be found making heart-eyes at things like guinea pigs, wombats, marmots, and human toddlers.

At first glance, the small continent of Arclid may appear similar to Great Britain at the beginning of the industrial revolution. However societal rules regarding gender, race, and sexuality are very different. These differences shape the lives of our protagonists, the would-be-princess Lady Elisandrine ‘Elise’ Falk and Nessa Clay, a farmer’s daughter who’s chasing her dreams.
Having to leave their old lives behind, they decide to travel together. They find things that make them different and should keep them apart. They also find themselves magnetically drawn to each other, no matter how hard they resist their increasing longing for each other.
In the modern and dangerous city of Nightport, brimming with exciting innovations in clockwork and steam power, strange events start to surround them. Unknown men ask questions regarding their whereabouts and small packages wrapped neatly in midnight blue paper with white ribbon start to arrive.
With the help of some new friends they meet along the way, Elise and Nessa start to unravel the mysteries — and their feelings for one another.
Life Pushes You Along
The unchallenging and dull life of an assistant in a small London bookshop is where Zoe Achidi feels safe. Bored, but safe.
Frequent customer, Rebecca Clare, makes Zoe’s days a little brighter. But the beautiful, and impressive businesswoman in her forties seems unobtainable.
Zoe’s brother and her best friend are convinced that she is stuck in a rut. When they decide to meddle in Zoe’s life, they manage to bring Zoe and Rebecca together. It soon becomes obvious that Rebecca is bored with her own uneventful life as well. Unfortunately, their meetings seem to remain all business.
As they find the bravery and resolve to allow life to push them along, the question soon becomes – will it push them together or apart?
A few reviews...
This is an incredibly written story about love, self-doubt, reinventing yourself, striving for your goals and being pushed into situations you have no control ever. You can’t read this book and not relate to it in some way – A Goodreads Reviewer
I didn’t want to put this book down. I loved it – A Goodreads Reviewer
Once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop. You just need to go on.
It is very well written, with excellent dialogues and descriptions. With that so typical British humour – A Goodreads Reviewer
Tales of the Grimoire
On a dark and stormy night a coven of writers gathers to spellcheck under a hallowed moon. The result is a bubbling cauldron of fear, suspense, and absolute sexiness.

The Boca Grande Library should be on everyone’s “to do list” when visiting Boca Grande. While you might think it strange to visit a library while on vacation, you won’t want to miss a visit to The Johann Fust Library.
Boca Grande Library History
The library was founded in 1949 by Roger Amory, a Boston attorney and lover of books, and his wife, Louise. Roger had a magnificent collection of manuscripts and rare first editions and was a passionate devotee of the arts. He and Louise began wintering in Boca Grande in the 1940s and were inspired to build a structure which would not only reflect the island’s unique beauty, but also provide a place to enjoy the pleasures of literature and other cultural refinements.
While the literary collection is impressive, it may not even be the main attraction given the impressive collection of shells, flora that abounds, the courtyard and architectural wonder of the building itself.
The moment you pass through the doors, your first view is the amazing formal gardens. Significant details include mined coral from St. Augustine, hand-carved Japanese panels and local cypress ceiling beams.
Of course there is an actual library, along with a periodical room with newspapers, magazines and other resources. The Reading Room includes artifacts and rare books that includes a page from the The Book of the Dead, written in the first century B.C. and copied onto papyrus during the first century A.D. A leaf from the Gutenburg Bible printed in 1454 is also on display.
Children will enjoy their own library, secret garden and a shell collection donated in memory of Henri Francis du Pont. The collection was gathered between 1920 and 1969 directly from the beaches of Boca Grande, Cayo Costa and Little Gasparilla.
So next time you’re “on island”, looking for “things to do”, don’t forget to visit Boca Grande’s Johann Fust library.


Download The Cambridge Companion to Descartes (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy) Book in PDF Format. Too Many Books Available in Our Site.
Amazon.com Review “Descartes is still rightly called the father of modern philosophy,” John Cottingham explains in his introduction to The Cambridge Companion to Descartes, for “without Descartes’s philosophy, the very shape of the problems with which we still wrestle, about knowledge and science, subjectivity and reality, matter and consciousness, would have been profoundly different.” Thus it is not only the philosophy of Descartes that is illuminated by the 14 essays contained herein, but also the philosophical predicament of today. The contributors are among the most eminent scholars of Descartes’s philosophy, including Cottingham, Roger Ariew, and Stephen Gaukroger (whose should not be missed). Not all of the essays discuss Descartes’s philosophy, however. Indeed, as Daniel Garber remarks, “in the seventeenth century Descartes was at very least equally well known for his mechanistic physics” as for any of his philosophical writings. The essays on his scientific work in algebra, psychology, and physiology are also fascinating. Still, at the heart of the Companion are the essays on Descartes’s metaphysics. Peter Markie’s careful discussion of the most famous sentence in philosophy—“cogito ergo sum”—is especially rewarding. Also worthwhile is Louis E. Loeb’s thoughtful exploration of the Cartesian circle, which Descartes raises in his Meditations by arguing from God’s existence to the trustworthiness of clear and distinct beliefs while also relying on the trustworthiness of such beliefs in order to prove that God exists. —Glenn Branch Review “…a collection of unusually fine papers….a valuable guide to contemporary interpretations of Descartes.” Canadian Philosophical Reviews “The Cambridge Companion to Descartes is designed to provide an overview of the scholarly conversation about Descartes’s writings and make them accessible without trivialization. This book admirably fills its purpose.” Emily R. Grosholz, Isis

'Voices of The Silence Majority' (forget what you think you know)
‘A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other film ever produced on the conflict — ‘Occupation 101′ presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions’
I don’t want to get too political on my blog but after having recently seen this documentary, I feel so compelled to share this………I’m truly hoping that the Obama (Administration) lives up to its brave, foreward-thinking words…………..and begins the right way………..
“So let there be no doubt, the situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable. And America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity and a state of their own” Barrack Obama, Cairo, May 09

William Barrington Giles Mary Black OP was born in Scotland on the first day of the year 1887. Queen Victoria was still on the throne, the first Sherlock Holmes story was soon to be published and Leo XIII was entering the ninth year of his pontificate.
Educated in Edinburgh, before studying for his degree at Oxford University, Black was raised in the Scottish Episcopalian Church and after graduating he served as an Episcopalian clergyman in Aviemore, an attractive town in the midst of the Scottish Highlands. Along with some members of his parish Revd. Black was received into the Church before the Great War, undergoing a conditional baptism and receiving the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Communion in his mid-twenties.
During the war he saw active service and fought alongside French forces on the Western Front, being decorated with the Croix de Guerre for his bravery in combat.
In 1919 he entered the Dominican Novitiate at Woodchester and was professed the following year on the 13th of June 1920. He was ordained priest on the 19th July 1925 and he worked initially in Newcastle, serving there eight years, before being assigned to the restored house at Edinburgh where he became a popular chaplain to the students of the university and a widely sought after speaker throughout Scotland.
After around twenty years of priestly service, at fifty-eight years old, Fr Black was exhausted and often seemed close to death. However, his service to the Order and Church was not yet complete and in 1950, after four years as Master of Laybrothers, he was elevated to the position of Preacher General by the Master of the Order. Too ill to stand this preacher had to sit during his homilies and over his last four years he promoted the cause of the then Blessed Martin de Porres, who would be canonized in 1962, eight years after Fr Black’s death at the age of sixty-seven with thirty-three years of profession.
Fr Giles Black took the name Mary, in honour of the Blessed Mother of God and he is especially remembered for his promotion of the Rosary amongst the faithful, writing two books on the subject Fifteen Steps (1942) and Our Lady in England (1949)
May Our Lady’s prayers always be with him,
Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him, O Lord
And Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him
May He Rest In Peace


Or something for the summer, depending on where you are. I had a quick look around to see if I could find you some winter reading and came up with the following ideas:
[caption id="attachment_13196" align="alignleft" width="212"]
The View from Kleoboulos - John Manuel[/caption]
How about one of the books by Rhodes author John Manuel
? You could try his novel, ‘The View from Kleoboulos
’ “In this, John Manuel's first full-length novel after having written four very successful travel memoirs about Greece, he again takes the reader into the tiny whitewashed streets of the village of Lindos on the island of Rhodes. Dean and Alyson are two young people who come together in a bar one evening in their home city of Bath, UK. Alyson's mother once worked with Brian, a musician who never quite "made it", but ends up playing guitar and singing in a Lindian Bar. Quite how Brian and Christine (Alyson's mother) come to have a devastating effect on their daughter's relationship with the man of her dreams will have you gripped, both with emotion and with intrigue. A real page-turner, the perfect holiday read, "The View From Kleoboulos" is Thomas Hardy for the 21st century. Sometimes the past comes back to haunt you, but occasionally it comes back to bite.”
[caption id="attachment_13197" align="alignright" width="152"]
Feta Compli - John Manuel[/caption]
But if you are more interested in the travel memoirs, and assuming you already have ‘Symi 85600’, ‘Carry on up the Kali Strata’ and ‘Village View’, then you might like to check out what it’s like to move to and live in Rhodes. ‘Feta Compli
’ is John’s first book in his series of three, and you only need to click the link to find the Amazon page about it. "This memoir/travel book is a slight but rollicking account of two love affairs; the first being an account of the writer's happy marriage with his wife, Yvonne-Marie. The second is of their decades-long flirtation with the country of Greece, where her family originated.” (Amazon review) By the way, that link should also take you to a list of John’s other memoir books down the page, and they are soon to be added to our Symi book shop which you can find here: http://astore.amazon.co.uk/symdre-21
(click to the Rhodes books department.)
[caption id="attachment_13198" align="alignleft" width="190"]
My mother’s cooking” by Nora N. Katsourakis[/caption]
And, while you are ordering them and settling in for some winter sun at home while reading about Rhodes, Symi and Greece, you might like to have something simmering in the pot in the kitchen. I've no idea about this next book, but if you get a copy or have one, feel free to let me know what you think of the recipes. It’s called “My mother’s cooking
” and is by Nora N. Katsourakis who I believe has a Symi connection.
Or, as a parting shot, how about ‘Mythology and Meatballs
’ by Daniel Spoerri? The hardback of this book shows an image of Symi, and the subheading reads ‘A Greek island diary/cookbook’ though I have to admit, I've not read it.
[caption id="attachment_13199" align="alignright" width="202"]
‘Mythology and Meatballs’ by Daniel Spoerri[/caption]
So, there are a few ideas for you, some things to pop into your basket or wish list to see you through coming winter months. As for me, I am still ploughing through ‘The Goldfinch’, only a few more hundred pages to go. Happy reading!
Oh –and if you have a book about Symi or Greece, or have a novel, cookbook, travel book etc. that features the island, or Greece, or know of any and think they should get a wider audience, drop me a line and I’ll add it to our store and give it a mention here.


The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) following concerns raised about the content of a History textbook published by Excellence Series Publication says it has not approved the material for sale on the market.
In a statement copied to AcademicWeek, the Council said its attention has been drawn to the content of the publication dubbed “History of Ghana for Basic Schools-Learners’ Book Four” making rounds on social media.
“The said publication from Excellence Series was taken through the standard protocols established under the approval process of the Council and therefore comes to us as a surprise,” the Curriculum Council said in the press statement.
The management of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) therefore has said that the material in question authored by Excellence Series Publication is not approved content material by NaCCA.
“The Council urged the general public to continue to bring to its notice, any suspicious material in the market that may be deemed to have been emanated from National Council for Curriculum and Assessment,” it noted in the release.
The Curriculum and Assessment Council indicated it will not hesitate to sanction textbook publishers in the country who publish materials without recourse to the established protocols of the National Council for Curriculum.
“We urge members of the general public not to hesitate to contact our outfit for information on the right content and materials for use in our pre-tertiary schools
Meanwhile, the management of the Council has requested the publishers of the textbook to withdraw the material from the market until such time that issues with respect to the publication of the book have been resolved,” it said.

The Briscoe Museum
As one of the newest cultural jewels of the San Antonio River Walk, The Briscoe Museum Western Art is a must-see stop for fans of the history, culture and art of the American West. Housed in the restored historic former San Antonio Public Library building, The Briscoe Museum offers a permanent collection of Western art and artifacts, displayed in nine galleries reflecting themes of movement, work, conflict and opportunity — key elements in the rich history of the American West.
Through paintings, sculpture, photography and historic relics, Briscoe Museum weaves together stories of the American Indians, vaqueros, American cowboys, pioneer women and others who define the West.
Named in honor of the late Texas Gov. Dolph Briscoe Jr. and his wife, Janey, the museum opened in the fall of 2013.
Highlights of the museum include Pancho Villa’s last known saddle, an interactive diorama of the Alamo conflict, a restored chuck wagon and replica Wells Fargo stagecoach, and Santa Anna’s ceremonial sword and sheath.
Next door to The Briscoe is the Jack Guenther Pavilion, a three-story event venue with a modern architectural aesthetic and stunning views of the River Walk and downtown San Antonio. Adjacent to the Pavilion is the McNutt Sculpture Garden, with its central courtyard and lush setting showcasing an impressive display of bronze sculptures created by the country’s top Western artists.
Throughout the year, the museum hosts a number of cultural events, special exhibitions, gallery talks, two film series and a distinguished lecture series.
Upcoming Exhibitions and Events:
That Day: Pictures in the American West
The Photographs of Laura Wilson
September 15–December 10
Free with museum admission This exhibition of 80 photographs by renowned photographer and author Laura Wilson introduces us to worlds that are framed equally by beauty and violence, taking us into a West defined by diverse communities outside the suburban middle class.
Wilson’s subjects range from legendary West Texas cattle ranches to impoverished Plains Indian reservations to lavish border-town cotillions. Also featured are compelling portraits of artists who are associated with the region, including Donald Judd, Ed Ruscha and Sam Shepard.
The unforgettable images in That Day tell sharply drawn stories of the people and places that have shaped, and continue to shape, the nation’s most dynamic and unyielding land. Text from Wilson’s journals accompanies the photographs, recalling her personal experiences behind the camera at the moment when a particular image was captured. Wilson casts a fresh light on the West — a topic of enduring fascination.
Yanaguana Indian Arts Market
October 7th–8th from 10AM–4PM
The first weekend in October, The Briscoe Western Art Museum hosts its popular Yanaguana Indian Arts Market — the only one of its kind in Texas. Now in its fourth year, the two-day event features dancing, musical performances, storytelling, artist demonstrations (glass blowing, painting, printmaking, pottery, sand painting and weaving), interactive art-making and Native American-inspired food.

Deep wisdom, translated into intuitive understanding
I'm a futurist, stretching to see over the horizon. This book helped me understand the dynamics that are creating our future, and how to participate in creating our coming global cultural and economic evolution. Many powerful understandings.

The Science of Possibility is a profoundly thought-
Good investment of time and money
A thought provoking read about Possibility and a convincing use of accessible Science to support the discussion. A number of things I already knew, but not from Jon and Juliana's encompassing point of view. Relationships and entanglements, dogmatically denied in current paradigms, are effectively challenged and convincingly made possible. It will now be very difficult for me to see, read or hear something previously "beyond the pail" and just blow it off as "airy fairy" or "Woo Woo" way out there. What are the possibilities out there beyond the values and beliefs of my socialization process? This book has helped me imagine what that might be like. The value of this book far exceeds the price and was a great investment in my future and the future of my sphere of influence.

Jon does a convincing job in bridging the gaps between physics and metaphysics, philosophy and science, chaos theory and fractals and the biological systems of the brain. He reminds us of what we have already known, that the universal macrocosm is within us and that if we tap into that infinite reservoir of "knowing" we can alter the course of humanity in many positive ways.

The answers can be seen consistently and coherently through the lenses of biology and physics in a way that also aligns with all that sages, shamans, mystics and healers have described and practiced for centuries.

Can the neuroqueer socialize without having been assimilated? (The answer, of course, being no. Allistics are the Borg.) - Melanie Yergeau, Authoring Autism, p. 109
Who it’s for: Rhetoricians (of course); people involved in autistic or neuroqueer activism of any kind.
Who it’s not for: Autism moms.
My rating: 4 stars on Goodreads
Melanie Yergeau is the associate director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan, and Authoring Autism is her award-winning book about neuroqueer identities and rhetoric. It took some work. I had to read it with my Kindle dictionary at the ready, my note-taking app open to an ever-growing list of freshly-coined rhetorical vocabulary, and a hyper-focused scowl on my face.
The introduction begins with a long story about the author as a child, horrifying her mother by smearing her own shit on the bars of her crib.
It’s a great book.
The field of psychological research surrounding autism has been inundated for some time with frustrated, time-poor parents desperate to help their children to succeed, or at least fit in. This book is not for them. Knowing Yergeau’s background, then, you’d think that it’s for me: a queer, autistic psychology student, writer, and digital rights activist.
On one hand, Authoring Autism is a thorough and thoughtful primer for any person, autistic or allistic, interested in understanding a wide range of issues relevant to autistic people in general from a high level. Yergeau provides a nuanced explanation of applied behavioral analysis (ABA); the layers of systemic oppression that insists on making autistics reliant on caretakers, conformity, and institutions; and the myriad forms of activism currently working overtime to wrench a sliver of agency back from said institutions.
On the other, you’re going to feel stupid reading it.
Lean into the stupid. Embrace it.
There’s a tendency for neurotypical people to treat adult autistics like children when we’re unable (or unwilling) to conform to neurotypical culture completely. Rhetoricians justify this by claiming we lack a “theory of mind,” the ability to think about your own mental state or that of others. Theory of mind, they claim, is necessary to be considered human.
So, as you’re reading Authoring Autism you may start to wonder how Yergeau, a scholar and writer whose words have touched millions, someone who teaches other young scholars and whose thoughts contribute heavily to culture and society, could be discounted as inhuman by other scholars with similarly advanced degrees and common sense. How does that work, you might be wondering?
It takes 300 pages to fully encapsulate how it works. And it begins by being a baby, smearing shit on the crib.
Babies do that, I hear—when they’re stressed or bored or just feeling spicy. But when an autistic person does it, it means we lack theory of mind. And that, apparently, is simply inhuman.
I’m not a rhetorician so the book’s overall vocabulary came off as pretty lofty, but if that doesn’t put you off and you’d like some high-level insights on neuroqueer identity and activism, give Authoring Autism a read.

There are some really fantastic new YA books in the collection this month! Each image clicks through to the catalog to make it easy to place a hold. The summary of each book is from Goodreads.
Hollow City by Ransom Riggs. Sequel to Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
The extraordinary journey that began in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children continues as Jacob Portman and his new found friends journey to London the peculiar capital of the world. But in this war-torn city, hideous surprises lurk around every corner. Like its predecessor, this second novel in the Peculiar Children series blends thrilling fantasy with never-before-published vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reacting experience.
Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry. This is the first of a trilogy. The second book is Dare You To and the third is Crash Into You.
No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal.
But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.
Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.
Roomies by Sara Zarr and Tara Altebrando.
It's time to meet your new roomie.
When East Coast native Elizabeth receives her freshman-year roommate assignment, she shoots off an e-mail to coordinate the basics: television, microwave, mini-fridge. That first note to San Franciscan Lauren sparks a series of e-mails that alters the landscape of each girl's summer -- and raises questions about how two girls who are so different will ever share a dorm room.
As the countdown to college begins, life at home becomes increasingly complex. With family relationships and childhood friendships strained by change, it suddenly seems that the only people Elizabeth and Lauren can rely on are the complicated new boys in their lives . . . and each other. Even though they've never met.
National Book Award finalist Sara Zarr and acclaimed author Tara Altebrando join forces for a novel about growing up, leaving home, and getting that one fateful e-mail that assigns your college roommate.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black.
Tana lives in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey. The only problem is, once you pass through Coldtown’s gates, you can never leave.
One morning, after a perfectly ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by corpses. The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three of them the only way she knows how: by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself.
Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi. The first in a trilogy. The second is Through the Ever Night and the third is Into the Still Blue.
Aria has lived her whole life in the protected dome of Reverie. Her entire world confined to its spaces, she's never thought to dream of what lies beyond its doors. So when her mother goes missing, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland long enough to find her are slim.
Then Aria meets an outsider named Perry. He's searching for someone too. He's also wild - a savage - but might be her best hope at staying alive.
If they can survive, they are each others best hope for finding answers.
These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner. This is the first book in the Starbound trilogy.
It's a night like any other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. And they seem to be alone.
The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson.
For the past five years, Hayley Kincaid and her father, Andy, have been on the road, never staying long in one place as he struggles to escape the demons that have tortured him since his return from Iraq. Now they are back in the town where he grew up so Hayley can attend school. Perhaps, for the first time, Hayley can have a normal life, put aside her own painful memories, even have a relationship with Finn, the hot guy who obviously likes her but is hiding secrets of his own.
Will being back home help Andy’s PTSD, or will his terrible memories drag him to the edge of hell, and drugs push him over? The Impossible Knife of Memory is Laurie Halse Anderson at her finest: compelling, surprising, and impossible to put down.
Far Far Away by Tom McNeal.
It says quite a lot about Jeremy Johnson Johnson that the strangest thing about him isn't even the fact his mother and father both had the same last name. Jeremy once admitted he's able to hear voices, and the townspeople of Never Better have treated him like an outsider since. After his mother left, his father became a recluse, and it's been up to Jeremy to support the family. But it hasn't been up to Jeremy alone. The truth is, Jeremy can hear voices. Or, specifically, one voice: the voice of the ghost of Jacob Grimm, one half of the infamous writing duo, The Brothers Grimm.
Jacob watches over Jeremy, protecting him from an unknown dark evil whispered about in the space between this world and the next. But when the provocative local girl Ginger Boultinghouse takes an interest in Jeremy (and his unique abilities), a grim chain of events is put into motion. And as anyone familiar with the Grimm Brothers know, not all fairy tales have happy endings....


My first book which started the book writing bug with myself was an idea by my husband who suggested I write down all my thoughts, ideas and plans which I had when I started up my own home baking business. This resulted in my first book “Baking at its Best: Advice for home bakers and would be entrepreneurs” . I loved writing this book and it inspired me to write more

“Do you enjoy cooking? Baking? Does everyone enjoy eating your creations? Perhaps some have even suggested that you could start up a business with your food delights. Well, why not! Others have done it, and quite successfully, too. Why not you? V. Dale has degrees in food science as well as brewing and distilling. But her true love of working in the kitchen began as a child, when she helped her mother and her grandmother with the cooking and baking. She enjoyed the task, but also the positive comments from friends and family alike. It was rewarding to know that people really did enjoy her efforts in the kitchen. After working in the brewing industry for many years, this multi-talented author started her own bakery, so to speak, in her own kitchen. She reached out to the public, setting up a stall to sell her food delights. From savoury dishes like Corned Beef Slice, to the more sweet treats like Chocolate Banana Cake, V. Dale quickly established herself as a much sought after cook and baker.
However, it takes more than a good cook and baker to ensure a successful business. There are regulations to be followed to ensure that the product created is safe to eat as well as delicious. There is also the little matter of insurance and many more practical things to consider. V. Dale, cook/baker turned author, has outlined everything in her book, Baking at its Best: A guide for home bakers and would be entrepreneurs. And once you’ve thoroughly studied the very organised step-by-step guide to creating a successful (and safe) business in the cooking/baking industry, the author shares some of the more popular recipes that quickly sell out when she sets up her Sunday stall at the local market”.
My second recipe book coincided with the most chocolatey time of the year, Easter, so it made sense that it should be Easter Recipes with lots of my favourite recipes which I had used at the market and at home over the years. “Baking at its Best: Easter Treats” was born and set me on the way to writing another book because no sooner had I published my second book but my husband spurred me on to write another.

“Chocolate. Aw, we all love it. Or, at least, most of us do. And what better season for chocolate than Easter? Well, perhaps any season is perfect for chocolate. But, you have to admit, the idea of chocolate seems to be attracted to the season of chocolate eggs and all kinds of other chocolate treats. So, why not make some? Like, Cookie Dough Brownies or Scotch Crème Egg Brownies or No Bake Fudge or Crème Egg Gateau. Of course, you don’t have to just make chocolate treats for Easter. There’s always the fruity Simnel Cake, an English fruitcake tradition that is catching the attention of fruitcake lovers around the world. And there’s the Lemon Bakewell Slice. But you would have to appreciate the history and tradition of the Bakewell treats, as, in the United Kingdom, the real Bakewell is second to none. And, of course, Easter isn’t Easter without Hot Cross Buns, though this delectable treat is now available just about any time of the year in some countries.
V. Dale’s delightful little book, Baking At Its Best: Easter Treats, is an interesting collection of recipes, complete with some background detail as well as some anecdotes about each recipe in the collection. The recipes are clearly presented, with clear instructions on how to prepare and serve the food creation. And, believe it or not, for a book of sweet treat recipes, the author also provides a nutritional guide for each recipe. Note: The measurements are in the United Kingdom’s system of grams instead of the North American system of cups and fluid ounces. So, depending on where you live, you may have to do some conversions.
This resulted in my third recipe book “Baking at its Best: Summer Picnic Recipes”. I can safely say that my family and myself have thoroughly enjoyed me writing this book as we have been on so many picnics with some brilliant food. Some of the recipes are what I have used in the past when I sold my home-baked products at my market stall but others are personal favourites of my children which I make a lot for them to enjoy with friends in the garden, when we are at the beach, park etc”.

“Picnic lunches, or even lunches at home, are a challenge in creativity, especially when children are involved. All those picky eaters with ever-changing mood swings and culinary likes and dislikes make meal planning, at any time of the day, a chance for failure. But, there’s no reason one has to stick with the standard lunchtime fare, either at home or on a picnic. There are other options: like Scotch eggs, corned beef pasties, cheese crackers, vegetable tarts, and so much more. And don’t forget the chocolate chip cookies, a must in any child’s diet.
V. Dale has done it again. Using much loved family recipes from her own kitchen, this author has created yet another delectable little cook book. Baking at its Best: Summer Picnic Recipes is a small collection, only fourteen recipes, but is packed with useful ideas that will entice others to create their own unique lunchtime treats for picnics or for home. Each recipe is well laid out with clear instructions. There is a colourful image to show the finished product and a useful list of nutritional contents. If the product has the potential to contain allergens, the author makes a note of that as well. For example, for the mini picnic sausage rolls, she mentions that some sausages contain sulphites, an allergen, and in some people this can cause an allergic reaction. Also, following each recipe, the author provides useful suggestions on how to alter the recipe to accommodate different dietary restrictions, especially allergies. I found this particularly useful as, with multiple food allergies, I’m always looking for ways to alter a recipe so that I can enjoy it, too. As always, a neat, concise little book packed with lots of delicious ideas”.
My fourth book in the series “Baking at its Best” is called “Halloween Recipes for All the Family to Enjoy” and this is a book with lots of recipes to scare the little ghouls over this holiday time.

“Baking at Its Best: Halloween Recipes for All the Family to Enjoy! by V. Dale is a book for all those who love baking. The twelve recipes in the book are Halloween recipes and will give readers an idea how to make their Halloween even spookier. Names like Scary Fingers, Witches’ Eyes, Graveyard Cake and more will put readers into the Halloween mood. The recipes are simple and each one has a list of ingredients, the method of preparation and nutritional information, how changes can be made according to dietary requirements, the equipment needed to make them, and finally a picture of the creepy cakes and cookies. This well planned and well laid out Halloween recipe book will definitely be a novel treat for youngsters during Halloween.
The thought of bringing out a book on Halloween recipes is unique. The pictures of the cookies and cakes will capture the feel of Halloween. The recipes suit all ages and abilities and children will find it interesting to experiment with these recipes along with their parents during Halloween. The author has thrown in a couple of show stoppers like the Graveyard Cake and a few others which will add to the eeriness of Halloween. Each recipe’s details have been listed methodically, making it easy for readers to try out, and the idea of giving options in case of dietary requirements is excellent. Trying out these recipes and making these delicious treats will be fun for both parents and children at Halloween. For all those who celebrate Halloween, this recipe book will bring out their creativity in a fun way”.
My All Things Christmasy book is a collection of recipes which I used an awful lot over the Christmas season when I had my market stall. One or two of them I have used all year round, in particular, the Sweet Mincemeat Tarts recipe which my regular customers would buy every week.

Christmas. It’s a busy time of year, full of activities, gift exchanges, gatherings and, of course, lots of good food. What would a gathering, at Christmas time no less, be without the wonderful array of Christmas goodies? There are the traditional favorites like shortbread, mincemeat tarts, fudge, and gingerbread. And then there are some creative and rather decorative additions to the list, like a no-bake Chocolate Orange Christmas Pudding, Christmas Tree Cupcakes and Chocolate Brownie Trees. These treats not only look good on a tray of goodies, but they taste good, too.
V Dale is well known in her community for her delectable treats. She’s a very creative and industrious baker. She is also known for her little recipe chapbooks, celebrating the different seasons of the year and the good food that goes along with each season. Her latest book, which she claims is the last in this series, Baking at its Best: All Things Christmasy, explores the joy of Christmas foods. Not just the sweets, because there’s also a recipe for Boxing Day Pizza which thriftily uses Christmas leftovers to make another variation on a favorite pizza theme. The recipes are well chosen and carefully laid out with a good description of the procedure. There is even a colorful photograph to illustrate the finished product, a health and nutrition guide, and an alternate ingredients list (for some of the recipes) to accommodate those people with various eating intolerances or allergies. For anyone who loves to bake and loves to create delicious and unique Christmas treats, this little chapbook is a must-have.
My compilation of A Year of Baking recipe book is a large collection of all the other books all joined together under one title. I prefer the smaller paperbacks which I keep in my kitchen drawer so they are always nice and handy. The larger book is a beautiful paperback nice and large with lovely colourful pictures.
I hope you will one day buy my books to share in my ideas and appreciate any feedback via email/comments which you feel will help me on my way to writing further books.

The proposed LTS (Library Transformation Strategy) outlined how the library service would continue to adapt in an agile way to changing circumstances, opportunities, challenges and demands. There was an aim to be clear about the priorities and outcomes for the service, with an understanding of the changing environment in which libraries operated. The strategy also aimed to be creative and realistic around new possibilities and ways of working.
Before lockdown, Maidenhead Library frequently had over 1,000 visits a day for a variety of reasons, including study, community group activities and exercise. The largest demographic was the under 24s, while during lockdown this had changed slightly to those aged between 18-35.
The community library model required one single part-time staff member on site for a limited number of hours per week. This was to facilitate and coordinate the range of activities and support services delivered by volunteers, charities and other organisations while helping residents navigate access to digital and physical information sources and books. It was worth noting that there were significantly more library volunteers than library advisors.
In terms of value for money and contribution to public services, for every £1 efficiently invested in library services, £6.95 was returned to the local economy. The accessibility hour was not proposed to be withdrawn, instead it could be changed from 9-10am to 10-11am. The proposal sought to retain professional staff on duty for all published opening hours. These staff underwent enhanced DBS checking and also rigorous training in areas such as Safeguarding, Sensory Disability Support, Dash and Domestic Abuse Support and Autism awareness. Volunteers would continue to work alongside staff but would be supervised and managed by a library professional. The main aim was to provide digital and physical support to ensure access for all.
The consultation process would be as follows:
- Consultation closes 30 April
- Public sessions to hear more about proposals
- Review consultation results and any alternative proposals that are suggested
- Present preferred options to Cabinet for final approval
The Council had a statutory duty to provide a comprehensive and efficient library service that met the needs of residents. It was important that residents were involved in defining what that was. This was an opportunity for residents, partners and stakeholders to make their views known.
The Chairman commented that it was important the library service had a good digital offering going forward but it was also important to make sure that physical access was still provided.
Councillor Bhangra passed on his thanks to Angela Huisman, it was important to have libraries in the borough as they were significant community assets. There was a campaign to save Boyn Grove library which was important for the local community.
The Chairman encouraged residents to get involved and have their say by responding to the consultation.


I mention all this because a 12th century Greek manuscript in the Bavarian State Library has now been identified as a series of homilies on the Psalms by Origen of Alexandria. See the article by Catholic World Report and also this blog post which includes instructions on how to view pictures of the entire manuscript.
Lionel at Forget the Channel says:
Plus there's this bloke called Benedict, living in Rome, who used to have something to do with Bavaria:The importance of this find cannot be overestimated.
I wonder how long before we get an edition.[Origen] was a true "maestro", and so it was that his pupils remembered him with nostalgia and emotion: he was not only a brilliant theologian but also an exemplary witness of the doctrine he passed on. Eusebius of Caesarea, his enthusiastic biographer, said "his manner of life was as his doctrine, and his doctrine as his life. Therefore, by the divine power working with him he aroused a great many to his own zeal"

Who is Harrine Freeman? She was once $19,000 in debt while on an income of $21,000 and managed to herself out of debt. Today, she runs a credit counseling business, H.E. Freeman Enterprises, to help others get out of debt and she wrote How To Get Out Of Debt, the book I took a look at this last week in anticipation of this review.
She Basically Talked to Credit Card Representative
The full title of the book is quite a mouthful, it’s How to Get Out of Debt: Get an “A” Credit Rating for Free Using the System I’ve Used Successfully With Thousands of Clients but starts very appropriately, a description of how Harrine got into and out of debt. In fact, her introduction to credit is something I warned about several days ago (don’t be tempted by those free t-shirts with credit card application tables at school) when she applied to all sorts of credit cards just for keychains, t-shirts, and water bottles. Then she did what the credit card companies wanted her to do, spend spend spend. From there the story reads like every terrible credit story you’ve heard of. She let her family use her cards. She signed a car note for her boyfriend. Just when you think the story is going to end badly, it takes a turn for the better. She basically talked to credit card representative with a soul who advised her to write letters to all her creditors and explain her situation. She wrote letters, worked out payment plans, and got out of debt the old fashioned way.
The Book is All The Resources Included In The Appendices.
The book essentially goes into the various parts of her experience in greater detail, including what one should do if they were also in that situation. One of the best things about the book is all the resources included in the appendices. For example, Appendix A lists all the Consumer Protection Agencies and State Resources and Appendix D lists the statue of limitations on delinquent debt. So, if you have a promissory note that has been delinquent for over 6 years in the state of Maryland, you can have a lawsuit dismissed because the state of limitations has expired. While a lawsuit can still be filed, it will be dismissed because of the state of limitations. Now, if there was a judgment, then they have twelve years to collect… useful information huh?
Someone Lost In Debt
If someone is in debt and really lost in what they should be doing, this book will likely provide some insight into their next steps. I found it difficult to analyze from that perspective because I’ve never had issues like the ones mentioned in the book (I had lots of credit cards but I always paid them off within the grace period) but I thought it was well organized and contained lots of useful information. Is it worth buying? I’d say that anyone in debt should avoid buying anything when they can get it at the library for free. If your library doesn’t have it, ask that they buy it. If you’re in debt, the first step is to quit spending money.

Taras Grescoe is a self-proclaimed straphanger: He adores public transit so much, he spent the last couple of years riding systems around the world, from Bogota to Moscow. The resulting book–titled Straphanger, of course–is equal parts travelogue and manifesto. For Grescoe, the public bus is no Loser Cruiser. He argues that if we change the way we move around our cities, we can not only save the world, but produce better, more joyful places.
I’ll be interviewing the Straphanger himself tonight at the Vancouver Public Library. Grescoe will show us images from his strange journey, and we will argue about the future of getting around in cities. If you are a dedicated car driver, you may want to come down and harass him.

Best Documentaries to Watch During Black History Month
It's almost February, which marks the beginning of Black History Month here in the United States. And while Black History Month has always been important, it seems ever more poignant in 2021 following last year and the major racial and economic injustices America faced. While these injustices unfortunately weren't new for our country, there was an overwhelming emphasis on educating and understanding people of color last year and the struggles they face daily.
At Hangover Hoodies, we see the importance of continually learning, listening, and educating ourselves on what it's like to be a person of color in America. That's why we believe this February is the perfect time to revisit documentaries centered around the experiences and stories of people of color in America.
Below we've shared a couple of documentaries recommended by Ashley Oken and Leah Marilla Thomas of Cosmopolitan, where we learn the history of Black people in America and how to become better allies in the future.
Until recently, the story of Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple in Virginia who traveled to D.C. to get legally married only to face a massive legal battle and jail time when they returned home, was not common knowledge. The American Civil Liberties Union took on their case and went all the way to the Supreme Court. Their victory marked a turning point, and 16 states overturned bans on interracial marriage in response—all because of one sweet, unassuming couple. Or if you want a fictional take on this story instead, check out Loving (2016) starring Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton.
It’s a bit of an obvious choice—interest in Raoul Peck’s Oscar-nominated documentary that explores James Baldwin’s unfinished work spiked in June 2020. But that doesn’t make Baldwin’s words and how he remembers figures from the Civil Rights Movement (Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Medgar Evers) any less important. The documentary underlines the connection between the Civil Rights Movement to the Black Lives Matter movement, which unfortunately still needs to be reiterated over and over.
You’ll need a library card to stream this documentary, but it’s absolutely worth it. Marlon Riggs’ Ethnic Notions tracks the history of anti-Black stereotypes in popular culture, particularly cartoons, and how those harmful depictions have evolved from the antebellum period to the 1980s. We’ve all been coded with racist imagery since birth and we still see variations on the “mammy,” “magical negro,” and other tropes in films and television today. If you’ve ever been told that a popular film is racist and you didn’t think it was a big deal, this is the doc for you.
If you need proof that protests work and young people can make a difference, look no further than the story of the Freedom Riders, who pushed back against Jim Crow laws in the American South in 1961. This group of hundreds of activists included Representative John Lewis and brought an unprecedented amount of attention to segregation and troubles on the home front when national attention had turned overseas.
5.) 13th (2016)
The 13th amendment officially ended slavery in the United States back in 1865, and Netflix’s 13th, named after that amendment, delves into why slavery never really ended and was basically just replaced with mass incarceration. Directed by filmmaker Ava DuVernay, the film puts the country’s history of racial inequality on full display through the lens of the nation’s prisons, which are disproportionately filled with Black Americans.
Dark Girls explores the deep-seated biases within Black culture against those of darker skin tones. This doc, which was nominated for a 2011 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Documentary, is filled with interviews from children, award-winning actresses, and Black female comedians who have experienced this bias. An equally powerful follow-up documentary, Dark Girls 2, goes even deeper on the prejudices that dark-skinned women face culturally and globally.
Okay, this technically falls more into the “biopic” category because it’s a fictionalization of real events, but we’re putting it here anyway. Another Ava DuVernay creation, this Netflix series illustrates the story of the Exonerated Five—formerly known as the Central Park Five—both artfully and powerfully. This four-part limited series tells the story of how the five men, four who are Black and one who is Latino, were falsely accused of and prosecuted for raping and assaulting a woman in Central Park. The series serves as a reminder of how badly the justice system has failed people of color (and continues to do so).
Directed by award-winning documentarian David France, this Netflix film investigates the 1992 death of transgender activist and trailblazer Marsha P. Johnson (pictured above), who was found floating in the Hudson River. Originally ruled a suicide, many believe she was murdered. If you thought the fight for LGBTQ+ rights was over, this documentary will remind you that we’re far from done.
Another movie that isn’t technically a documentary but is still based on true events, this Netflix film delves into the minds of four Black soldiers who fought in the Vietnam war during a time when their people were actively being oppressed back home. Weaving social commentary and hard-hitting emotions together, this Spike Lee movie will make you reexamine what you might have learned about Vietnam in your U.S. history class.
