It's no surprise to anyone that I read. A lot. I have books in my sewing room/library. I have books in the living room. I have books on bookshelves in my office. I have books on the window sill next to my night table. Lots and lots of books. It's heredity. What I don't have, is sophisticated taste in books. I read sci-fi/fantasy books, I read YA supernatural books, I read gardening and homesteading books, I read the kind of trash you can download for free on your kindle, and one of my favorite genres, I read romance novels.
In Devil's Bride, the first of the Cynster novels, we meet Honoria Anstruther-Wetherby, a finishing governess of aristocratic birth who wants to live a life of adventure, and Sylvester "Devil" Cynster, the Duke of St. Ives. Honoria, in an attempt to help a dying young man, finds herself trapped in a compromising position with the young man's dark and mysterious cousin, the Duke. Forced by a terrible storm to spend the night in a woodcutter's cottage, Devil decides that he wants to make the headstrong young woman his Duchess. Together, they embark on an adventure of solving Devil's young cousin's murder, all the while the Duke attempts to ensnare his Duchess.


Orthodox Book Discussion Group
Orthodox Book Discussion Meetings will be held on Saturdays when Father is here. This new activity focuses on discussions of current orthodox spiritual literature. We are currently discussing the book “Our Thoughts determine our Lives” by Elder Thaddeus of Vritovnica. Please come, and invite your friends to come with you, to enjoy a lively discussion – and learn more about Orthodoxy.
The meeting of the Orthodox Book Discussion Group will be held at the Saint Nectarios Greek Orthodox Mission Church, 627 West Bonneville St, Pasco WA.
Below is some information on the book selected to start these discussions:
“Our Thoughts determine our Lives” by Elder Thaddeus of Vritovnica:
“Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica was one of the most renowned spiritual guides of Serbia in the twentieth century. As a novice he lived in obedience to Elder Ambrose of Miljkovo Monastery, a disciple of the Optina Elders. From him Fr. Thaddeus learned the Prayer of the Heart and the selfless love that came to characterize his whole ministry to the suffering Serbian people. Born in 1914, Elder Thaddeus lived through all the suffering endured by Serbia in the twentieth century. Over the course of two World Wars, during the Communist takeover, and through the NATO bombings of 1999, he co-suffered with his people. He taught, counseled, and prayed for all who came to him in pain and sorrow. His words of love and hope provided spiritual balm for people from all classes of society. In 2002 Elder Thaddeus reposed, leaving behind a large collection of his teachings, preserved by his faithful spiritual children. His life, teachings, and spiritual conversations are here presented for the first time in English.”
Amazon is one of the sites where this book may be purchased.

Contested Biography II (in memory of the lost) 2017
Burnt 1979 edition of Amalie Dietrich: Ein Leben by Charitas Bischoff, glass display cabinet, speaker, digital audio track
Many of the rare specimens Dietrich collected in Queensland, once held in German museums, were destroyed by fires in both World War I and World War II. Dietrich’s own botany fieldwork notebooks were destroyed by fire. Her daughter Charitas Bischoff is said to have destroyed any correspondence or other written material that did not agree with the pious religious version of her mother’s life she penned in her best-selling biography. Amalie Dietrich: Ein Leben by Charitas Bischoff was first published in 1909; the last edition was printed in 1980.
Dietrich collected the remains of up to thirteen indigenous people from Bowen, under specific instructions from her employer, the Museum Godeffroy in Hamburg. The current location of the ancestors is unknown, as is the circumstances surrounding their collection by Dietrich. Were they purchased? Were graves robbed? Were murders ordered by her as a journalist has sensationally claimed? They are widely assumed to have been lost to fire; repatriation now extremely unlikely. This work is my acknowledgement of this tragic loss and a recognition of the troubled legacies of western scientific collecting in Australia.

Forlagets egen omtale:
Over its long history, the study of birds has undergone dramatic changes in ideology and methodology, as the technological expertise available has grown and our understanding and appreciation of natural systems and the natural world has evolved. Birdwatching is no longer the preserve of "men of science", but is a hugely popular hobby among the general public. The mainstream birdwatching magazines are increasingly tackling complex issues such as phylogeny and speciation as well as publishing extremely sophisticated identification articles and raising the profile of great birdwatching destinations around the world. Ian Wallace's account of the history of birdwatching in Britain is interspersed with numerous anecdotes and illustrations and will appeal to everyone with any interest in birds and birdwatching in Britain.


From Emmy and triple BAFTA-winning director Anthony Wonke comes the biographical documentary charting the life and career of renowned jockey Frankie Dettori.‘
DETTORI is the exhilarating, tub-thumping celebration of inspirational jockey Frankie Dettori, the rock star of racing and one of the most decorated sportsmen of all time. In the twilight of a controversial and turbulent career, illuminated by stunning victories and his raw charisma, and defined by a complex relationship with his driven father, Frankie’s story thrusts us into the high-stakes world of horse racing as never seen before.’
From his strict upbringing in Italy to his early years in England Frankie himself opens up about the difficulties and challenges he faced in order to become one of the greatest jockeys in the history of horse racing.
This is obviously a film for racing fans to savour, but the content of director Anthony Wonke’s documentary proves an enthralling insight into the mind of a top sportsman, who has endured titanic struggles and triumphant comebacks as he continuously pushes himself to new heights of success. Like Frankie Dettori himself, this big screen film is wonderful entertainment.

Feynman had a fantastic sense of humor, The pleasure of find his memoirs of his Manhattan Project days roil with fun despite his later misgivings about nuclear weapons. Though one or two pieces are a bit The pleasure of find to follow for the nontechnical reader, for the most part the book is easygoing and engaging on a personal rather than a scientific level. Freeman Dyson's foreword and editor Jeffrey Robbins's introductions to each essay set the stage well and are respectful without being worshipful.
Though Feynman has been gone now for many The pleasure of find, his work lives on in quantum physics, computer design, and nanotechnology; like any great scientist, he asked more questions than he answered, to give future generations the pleasure of finding things out.
Editor The pleasure of find Robbins's assemblage of 13 essays, interviews and addresses only one of them new to print will satisfy admirers of those books and other fans of the brilliant and colorful scientist. Best known among the selections here is certainly Feynman's "Minority Report to the Challenger Inquiry," in which the physicist explained to an anxious nation why the Space Shuttle exploded. The title piece transcribes a wide-ranging, often-autobiographical interview Feynman gave in ; an earlier talk with Omni magazine has the author explaining his prize-winning work on quantum electrodynamics, then fixing the interviewer's tape recorder.
Other pieces address the field of nanotechnology, "The Relation of Science and Religion" and Feynman's experience at Los Alamos, where he helped create the A-bomb and, in his spare time, cracked safes.
Much of the work here was originally meant for oral delivery, as speeches or lectures: Feynman's talky informality can seduce, but some of the pieces read more like unedited tape transcripts than like science writing.
Most often, however, Feynman remains fun and informative. Here are yet more comments, anecdotes and overviews from a charismatic rulebreaker with his own, sometimes compelling, views about what science is and how it can be done. Copyright Reed Business The pleasure of find, Inc.

The Strange Theory of Light and Matter. Beyond altruistic and self-aggrandizing motivations, many of our best scientists work long hours seeking the electric thrill that comes only from learning something that nobody knew before. The Pleasure of Finding Things Outa collection of previously unpublished or difficult-to-find short works by maverick physicist Richard Feynman, takes its title from his own answer.
From TV interview transcripts to his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize, we see his quick, sharp wit, his devotion to his work, and his unwillingness to bow to social pressure or convention. It's no wonder he was only grudgingly admired by the establishment during his lifetime--read his "Minority Report to the Space Shuttle Challenger Inquiry" to see him blowing off political considerations as impediments to finding the truth.
A The pleasure of find physicist, inveterate prankster and gifted teacher, Feynman charmed plenty of contemporary and future scientists with accounts of his misadventures in the bestselling Surely You're Joking, Mr.

If you have read anything about his life you know that he was irreverent, quirky, odd and an absolute genius of the highest magnitude. The pleasure of find is a fantastic book to understand the power of curiosity. Richard Feynman was a fun-loving Physicist. He disliked the pomposity he saw in some of his peers Atomic Physicists, and in the world around him.
He became the favorite college professor of many college students. His stories about meeting the many famous people in planning the first Atomic Bomb; at Princeton and in California are all interesting and very funny. For whatever reason, I always feel like his books are light, enjoyable reading. He shares his anecdotes of them all.
Actually ordered this by mistake. Meant The pleasure of find order Surely You're Joking But it was a happy mistake. Still not a big fan of books made from assorted papers because they just don't flow well. It is much easier to read them when the person is interesting.
Some folks are critical of Mr. Feynman's antics over the years.
He just seemed playful, curious and refreshingly honest. Most people try to hide their weaknesses, especially those in the sciences.
He openly discussed his quirks and personality flaws. He loved what he did and seemed happy.
Brilliant the pleasure of find all porn pics
That showed throughout the book. But he was not refined, cultured or overly full of himself. He cherished his working class upbringing.
I found him endearing and funny yet a few of his activities would not have been something that would appeal to me. There was less information on his scientific pursuits and the The pleasure of find of his contributions than I thought there would be still it was a fun read over all.
A work of The pleasure of find communicated with wit and rationality. This is an excellent sampling of Captain Feynman's short works. Also, the cover is much better than the one pictured here see photosand the price here is unbeatable. This is definitely a book you want in your library, and this is certainly the place to buy it.
One could easily retitle this book "The Pleasure of Finding Feynman.


The Empress of Mars by Kage Baker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This here is a great book. I'd picked it up on a whim, used, without knowing much about it other than it says it's one of Kage Baker's "The Company" series.
Amusingly, it's not obviously part of that series, and if you're worried about picking this book up and not knowing what's going on, don't worry - there's no obvious metaplot here, and although it's apparently part of the future history of her series, there's no reference to any other part of it.

Last week I finally typed up the list of books I read in January. This installment will cover February and March, and then I’ll be all caught up. In case you missed last week’s post of recommended books, I mentioned that I have been an avid reader for, well, forever. I have kept track of the books I read in a spreadsheet since 1988. Ok, technically, I didn’t start the spreadsheet until 1990, but I had kept a list in a journal prior to that.
At the beginning of the year, I thought to provide brief blurbs about most of the books I read, in case it is of interest or value to you. I read widely, and occasionally there are wild departures from my usual fare of personal finance, productivity, mysteries, and such. With the recent economic and health crisis, I’ve been off schedule on many of my undertakings, so it took me all the way to April to get going on my January list.
I am tracking whether I’m reading from my shelves or newly purchased books, because I made a goal this year to clear out some of my bookshelves and use the library more. Well, the library is closed for at least a few more weeks, but I have been dutifully reading quite a few books off my shelves.
Here we go, the books I read in February and March, 2020.*
Motherhood: A Novel, by Sheila Heti (library)
Let’s just start out with a bang, shall we? I did not like this book. Not one single, little bit. It was selected for February in the book club I am in, and because I have a good, long streak going on actually finishing book club books, I read to the end. Pure torture. Not my cup of tea.
The book was one long internal debate about whether or not the narrator (I assume the author) wanted to have a child. I won’t spoil the ending here, but let’s just say thank goodness it was a relatively quick read, so the pain was over quickly. Except then we had to discuss it over dinner and wine. I bet you can imagine how that went.
Moving on. . .
Ark of Blood (ARKANE Book 3), by J.F. Penn (Kindle)
I have read numerous books by Joanna Penn about the craft of writing. In addition to her nonfiction, she writes thrillers under the pen name J.F. Penn. Late last year, I thought I would check out her fiction, since I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all her nonfiction books. In February and March, I actually read books 3 through 9 of her ARKANE series, so I’ll give overview comments versus comments on this particular one.
If you are counting, that is seven books that I devoured in every spare moment on my Kindle (and phone Kindle app). As a rule, I’m a lukewarm eBook reader, as I prefer a real book to hold in my hands. Nevertheless, when I travel, I will load some books into my Kindle, and I always have an eBook going so I can read on my phone if I’m unexpectedly stuck somewhere without a paper book.
Penn’s books are fast paced, plot-driven stories, which take place in different locations around the world and feature religious artifacts and some sort of intrigue surrounding them. I enjoyed them immensely, and plan to read whatever other books Joanna Penn has out there.
Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope, by Mark Manson (shelf)
This is the second book by Manson I have read. I expected this one to be irreverent and somewhat shallow, but I was wrong. This book really surprised me. It’s about philosophy, politics, and religion. I felt like I learned some things, and Manson has definitely done his homework. His breakdown of how organized religions work was eye-opening.
Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think, by Peter Diamandis (shelf)
This book had been on my shelf for some time, and I was truly interested to dig in. Diamandis and his coauthor present a hopeful argument for why we should be nothing short of total optimists for the future of our world. Their research into various industries and the work being done to solve issues like world hunger and clean water was completely fascinating. While it was not a page turner, I read it steadily for a few months. Highly recommend.
Reinvent Yourself, by James Altucher (Kindle)
Over several months, I kept seeing ads for this book by Altucher. I kept wondering, who is this guy? Finally, I took the bait and bought this eBook at a discounted price. What the heck, right? Having read it, I still don’t really feel like I know who the author is, and I wouldn’t say this was a favorite read. The book felt disorganized, repetitive, and was filled with typos and errors. Right or wrong, that sort of thing erodes my confidence in whatever the message of the book is.
The main points (I think) were to experiment in life, try many, many careers and have tons of experiences in order to find your passion. I can totally get on board with his assertion to always be learning. But overall this book fell flat for me.
Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things, by Jenny Lawson (shelf)
A few years ago, I read Lawson’s first book, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened. It was hilarious, weird, and yet moving. With that experience under my belt, I bought her new book, Furiously Happy, in hardback when it came out. For whatever reason, I didn’t just dive right into it. Instead, some years passed, and in my flurry of “I must read fifty books off my shelves this year,” I added it to my short stack.
Honestly, I did not love this book. Lawson suffers from mental illness, and I appreciated her honesty about how she lives with her illness. Ultimately, though, I felt like there wasn’t really an overarching theme to this book: it came off as a series of essays that didn’t really coalesce into a solid message. I wanted to like it, but I’m afraid I didn’t.
Dandelion Wine, by Ray Bradbury (library)
Dandelion Wine was our March selection for book club. It was a slow starter for me, but ultimately, I enjoyed it. The book is a series of vignettes that describe the sights, sounds, and experiences of a twelve-year-old boy during summer. Some of the storylines meshed together, but overall the experience was that of getting a perfect mental picture of a midwestern summer in 1928. It wasn’t a plot-driven novel; it was more of an experience of the senses with a little magic thrown in. I had never read anything by Bradbury before, so this book inspired me to seek out others.
The Weed that Strings the Hangman’s Bag, by Alan Bradley (new)
This is the second book in the series of Flavia de Luce novels that started with The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (which I read in January). As I write this in April, I have read the first five books in this series. From this point forward, I won’t write up a blurb about them. If you like mystery novels, smart writing, and unique main characters, do yourself a favor and read this series. I can’t say enough good things about it.
The Simple Path to Wealth, by J.L. Collins (shelf)
Finally, a personal finance entry for this installment of books I’ve read! Collins wrote this as a compilation of letters he had written for his daughter to teach her about how to be successful with her money. Other than the fact that he’s a wee bit negative on the idea of working with a financial advisor of any sort, most of his information is sound, and much of it I agree with.
As opposed to being a well-rounded survey of all areas of personal finance, this book is heavy on investment information. Which is fine! His information is easy to digest, and if you are a do-it-yourselfer when it comes to your money and investments, you will find some interesting things here.
American Spy, by Lauren Wilkinson (library)
I really, truly wanted to like this book. It was chosen by the book club I’m in for our April selection, and the description sounded intriguing. I mean, what’s not to love about a 1986 Cold War tale of intrigue featuring a young black woman trying to make her way in the male-dominated world of the FBI? My final assessment was it was just okay. Parts I found interesting, but other parts I found myself skimming because I just didn’t care about the story that much.
(Boy, this installment definitely has a mixed bag – plenty of clunkers this time!)
How to Disappear: Notes on Invisibility in a Time of Transparency, by Akiko Busch (new)
I enjoyed reading this book, even though I’m having a difficult time trying to find a way to describe what it is actually about. Busch writes beautifully, and each chapter is an essay about invisibility. Most are examples of how invisibility serves creatures in the natural world. Busch is building a case for the advantages of being inconspicuous in an era where we pretty much know everything about everyone. If you like lyrical writing and philosophical musings, you might enjoy this book.
The Elements of Style, by William Strunk (shelf)
Yup, the very same book you likely read in high school. And then again in college. I confess that until now, I had not reread this book since college, but I should have. A reread every five years or so might be just the ticket. I’m a grammar nerd, and I enjoy good writing. And in this case, by “good,” I mean structurally sound and grammatically correct writing.
I picked this up again as a refresher, since I’ve been digging into writing the past few years. It never hurts to remind yourself of the rules of grammar and usage. It took me several months to finish this little book, because it is jam-packed. I would read and digest a few pages, and then come back to it a few days later. Whether you know you need some help with your writing skills, or you feel you already write well, I promise you that you will come away with some improvements by reading this book.
Plot and Structure, by James Scott Bell (shelf)
See a theme here? I have quite a few books on my shelves about the craft of writing. Many I have read over the past two years, but I have quite a few to go. I have written non-fiction in the form of articles for many, many years, and my first non-fiction book, Simplify Your Financial Life was recently published.
But my secret project involves learning to write fiction, which I have not done since. . . third grade. Perhaps I’ll tell you more about my foray into fiction-writing in the future, as it is a strange and wonderful story. For now, suffice it to say I am spending some of my free time learning how to write good fiction.
Whew, that was a bunch. Now that I have caught up, I will try to be more on the ball with writing up blurbs about the books I read each month, whether they are recommended books or not!

The coronavirus has limited–but not stopped–the ministry of the Armenian Presbyterian Church. The APC Missions Committee even sponsored a movie night on Saturday, October 10th, in the church’s main sanctuary. About 25 people came out (with their masks in place and with socially distanced seating) to view an animated adaptation of the Christian classic Pilgrim’s Progress, first published in 1678.
John Bunyan (1628-1688), the book’s author, was an English Baptist preacher and by trade a tinker (a mender of pots and pans). He spent years in prison because he refused to conform to the teachings of the state Church of England (Anglican Church). He used this time of imprisonment to write at least much of this book.
Pilgrim’s Progress is an allegorical tale of a man named Christian who is warned by a person named Evangelist to depart the City of Destruction and embark on a journey toward the Celestial City of God. He begins the journey with a heavy burden on his back. He enters the King’s Highway (the straight and narrow path) by way of the Wicket Gate. At the Hill Calvary, he sees the crucified Jesus, and his heavy burden is released and rolls down the hill and enters a grave—a vivid description of Christian conversion. He continues his journey with his Christian companion Faithful.
This journey proves to be an adventure. Christian and Faithful pass through the town of Vanity Fair, symbolic of the world’s vain values. Here Faithful suffers martyrdom. Christian escapes and continues his journey, now joined with another companion named Hopeful. Giant Despair captures both of them and imprisons them in Doubting Castle, but they manage to escape. They finally reach the Celestial City, where they enjoy the presence of God and the fellowship of other pilgrims.
A lively discussion followed the showing of the film. Those who attended were impressed by the clear Christian Gospel message expressed through John Bunyan’s allegorical tale.

Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson is a great book about love and loss. I think it is an appropriate book to read given everything that is going on in our world today.


The long awaited to follow up to The Knights Mourning is finally here!
In book two of the Crusades Series, The Knights Mourning, The Dawnings were betrayed by one of their own. Ambushed on their own lands, the army was decimated by the combined might of a Saracen-Braddock force.
When it was clear that defeat was inevitable, Richard ordered the remnants of the Dawning chivalry back to fortify Dawning Castle in a last desperate attempt to preserve the barony, while he and William attempted to delay the enemy.
Now, sealed in the castle with only a handful of trained soldiers, those who are left struggle to mount a defense against a superior army and an unseen enemy within the castle working against them at every step.
The Dawnings are at war! After narrowly surviving a surprise attack on their own soil, the family is passionately divided over how to use their failing resources to respond to the Braddock army at their gates, the escalating tension with the crown, and an unknown enemy in their midst. The mounting danger to the family and their way of life exposes the deep rifts among the brothers, and drives them even further apart as the struggle for control of Dawning Court rages ever hotter. Building on the momentum of The Knights Dawning, The Knights Mourning watches the Dawnings continue to spin out of control as each brother is forced to confront his demons and, one by one, each must choose between his own self-preservation and that of the family and realm.
13th century England: The nobility is aligning against King John in a struggle for power. The kingdom is embroiled in war and bankrupt, and the Crusades are rampaging through the Middle East. The Dawnings are a once-powerful family of English knights who are facing the bleak prospects of their declining power and imminent destruction at the hands of enemies that surround them both at home and abroad…
The first book in the Crusades series, The Knights Dawning, sets the stage for a titanic struggle for survival that could consume a family, a people, and a kingdom. The epic battles and action-packed scenes are coupled with deep characters and complex relationships that give the story a depth beyond ordinary adventure novels. Join the Dawnings as they feud over power, love, jealousies, and old grudges that threaten to destroy the family from within at the moment they most need to stand united.

The Northern Kingdoms have lived in relative peace since the end of The Exile, a war that was fought between the races. The humans banished the Shaldean and Islanii races to First World, and attempted to hunt the shape-shifting Danshii to extinction. But now, many years after the war has ended, a new species has appeared in the south. Dubbed “The Revenant,” this mysterious race begins hunting the humans near the border. The Revenant Gate, a great barrier between the North and South, is created to keep them in the desolate Southern lands.
Jeron is a young Fielder training at the Redsun Academy. He discovers that the barrier has been breached, but before he can raise the alarm, he stumbles upon the recently murdered body of a high ranking official. He is discovered standing over the dead body holding the official’s mysterious sword. Believed to be responsible for the murder, Jeron flees.
Now, time is of the essence as Jeron struggles to find some way of warning the kingdom of the impending attack from the South. Abandoned by his friends, he is alone save for one very unusual companion.

“Juliet is one of those rare novels that has it all: lush prose, tightly intertwined parallel narratives, intrigue, and historical detail all set against a backdrop of looming danger. Anne Fortier casts a new light on one of history’s greatest stories of passion. I was swept away.”
Sara Gruen, Water for Elephants
“A high-flying debut…. Fortier navigates around false clues and twists, resulting in a… love story that reads like a Da Vinci Code for the smart modern woman.”

Duncan’s Reading List & Book Reviews: July 2015
Just over 2,000 pages read this month, down 20% from June, which was down 20% from May. Summer makes me dumber! I would also add, as you can tell from the photo, that balancing hardbacks on your head is really hard when you have no hair.
I loved the Count of Monte Cristo, so reading his second most-acclaimed book was the obvious decision. As with the Count, these are NOT children’s books. D’Artagnan is the “hero”, but hardly the chivalrous type, the title Musketeers are less charming than you might expect, and there are court intrigues galore. I didn’t enjoy this as much as Monte Cristo, and I suspect it was the translation. This was the 1952 translation, and I think a more recent version would have been more natural and flowed better. Still a ripping good yarn, and a page turner: I have already ordered the other four volumes in the series. 8/10.
This is the fifth volume in the Expanse series. James S.A. Corey is a nom-de-plume for the writing team of Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham, both of whom have worked with George R.R. Martin, author of the Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series. If you have slogged through Volume Five of that series, you would approach his protégés later books with considerable trepidation. But unlike George, this fifth book is BETTER than the previous books, which I had given 8/10. One reviewer said that “This is Corey’s Empire Strikes Back” and I would agree: it takes the franchise in some new and better directions, showing greater depth for the ancillary characters. 9/10
Love love love. I already wrote about this on Facebook: it is the perfect hard science book for geeks, nerds, and (especially) those who are both. The writing is good but not brilliant, but the sheer detail of the story elevates the book into a hard science classic. The concept isn’t all that new: Jules Verne did some similar things in The Mysterious Island, and that was in 1874. The brilliant Cyrus Smith doesn’t need to produce water from hydrazine (spoilers!), but does make bricks, nitroglycerin and a telegraph from a standing start. 10/10
I adored Cline’s previous novel, Ready Player One. I was so excited to read his sophomore attempt that I bought the hardcover! As I was reading Armada, I kept asking myself why I didn’t love it as much? It was just like RPO: the video game setting, the shameless homage to the science fiction movies of 1970-1990, endless pop culture references, similar lead character, similar supporting characters, and the list of similarities just went on and on. And on. Uh oh. Maybe this is just a hurried book, badly edited, and rushed out to capitalise on the Ready Player One enthusiasm, and Cline will have something DIFFERENT to say in his next book. Or the alternative is that he only had one book in him, and he’s stuck on repeat from now on. I hope not. 5/10


Nursing Thesis Writing Services
Nursing Thesis Writing Service by Expert Nursing Writers
A thesis is a formal academic document that presents the culmination of a student's research and scholarly work on a particular topic. It is typically required for advanced degrees, such as a Master's or Ph.D. The purpose of a thesis is to demonstrate the student's ability to engage in independent research, think critically, and contribute new knowledge or insights to their field of study.
At its core, a thesis is a well-structured argument that is supported by evidence and analysis. It begins with an introduction that provides context and outlines the research question or problem the thesis aims to address. The body of the thesis includes a comprehensive literature review that highlights existing research and sets the groundwork for the study. The methodology section explains the research design and data collection methods employed by the student. This is followed by the presentation and analysis of the gathered data, which helps to answer the research question and support the thesis's central argument. A strong thesis incorporates a discussion of the findings, placing them in the context of the broader field of study and interpreting their significance. It acknowledges the limitations of the research and identifies avenues for future exploration.
In conclusion, a thesis restates the main argument and demonstrates how the research has contributed to the existing body of knowledge. It showcases the student's ability to conduct original research, think critically, and communicate scholarly findings effectively.

Identify key concepts, theories, and previous studies relevant to your thesis. Analyze and synthesize the information, highlighting areas that need further exploration.
Formulate Research Questions or Hypotheses: Based on the gaps identified in the literature review, formulate clear and focused research questions or hypotheses. These will guide your data collection and analysis.
Research Design: Choose an appropriate research design for your thesis. It can be quantitative, qualitative, or a mixed-method approach. Justify your choice based on the research questions and the feasibility of data collection.
Ethical Considerations: Address any ethical considerations related to your research, especially if it involves human subjects. Obtain the necessary ethical approvals before proceeding with data collection.
Data Collection: Depending on your research design, collect data through surveys, interviews, observations, or other methods. Ensure the reliability and validity of your data collection instruments.

HOW MY BROTHER LEON BROUGHT HOME A WIFE
By: Manuel E. Arguilla
This story is written by Manuel E. Arguilla. There were many characters involved in this story, one of them is Baldo. Baldo was the one who narrated the story. He was the younger brother of Leon. He was an obedient, innocent and naive young boy. Another character is Leon. Leon was the one who brought home a wife. He was a responsible, gentle and a loving husband. Then, another character is Maria. Maria had been born and grew up in a big city. She was the wife of Leon. She was a supportive, creative and a loving wife. Father was the one who instructed Baldo on what he will do while he is on the road together with Leon and Maria. He made an ingenious way to find out if Maria is really worthy to live in a rural place.
The story did explain some ways on what is the meaning of true love and how this true love can be shown. I’ve also included values in the story or attitudes that each character possessed like the obedience of Baldo, being supportive of Maria, being responsible of Leon and the hardworking Labang.
This story shows uniqueness because it has its own moral value that readers may follow it. The author is very good in making techniques in writing that can make readers be more interested in the story.

This is what I found under the whisky-news hoempage:
The Legend of Port Ellen Distillery by Holger Dreyer, Unibuch Verlag bei zu Klampen, 2015
Port Ellen is one of the most iconic lost Scottish malt whisky distilleries and is triggering a lot of interest amongst whisky collectors. In this book, the history of Port Ellen is well described and contains a fair amount of black & white photographs of high quality that should please anyone interested in the distillery. It contains as well numerous colour photographs taken after the closure, but before and during its final destruction. Although it does not contain a list of bottling from the distillery owner, numerous photographs of Port Ellen bottles illustrate this book. I wished production details were provided instead of a "cask analysis"?, which would be most relevant for some whisky enthusiasts such as myself. The layout is pleasant and the book reads well and would make a very good addition to the bookshelf for anyone interested about this legendary distillery. Of note, no tasting notes on the whisky are provided.

In the 2008-2009 time frame I had the good fortune to be asked by Glenna to help her with some computer issues she was having with her Tandy 1000 SX home computer system. While the system was still operational it was painfully slow and cumbersome to operate. I suggested that it was time to upgrade to a new laptop and she agreed however she never fully embraced her new Sony Vaio.
While she had scores of her poems published in various poetry collections she had never published a book of her own poems. After numerous iterations we had a manuscript ready but were unable to find a publisher so settled on self publishing with PublishAmerica. As with most self published books of poetry, "Never Far from Water" has gone largely unnoticed except by friends and colleagues.
Glenna had no living relatives at the time of her passing and had willed her estate to the care of Grace United Methodist Church where she had been a faithful member for many years. Cleaning out the contents of her home was like a treasure hunt. Her basement was partitioned into various project areas where she had furthered her interests in pottery, jewelry making, painting, woodworking and various other artistic endeavors. Her poetry and writing workshop was on the second floor and was filled with books and magazines and scores of boxes containing folders and smaller boxes of printouts generated on her Tandy 1000 computer. Under time constraints the goal became to attempt to keep at least one copy of every poem that she had written. The bulk of that effort produced about twenty boxes filled with published books containing one or more of her poems. These boxes are currently stored in the Grace Church Library. The printed pages were neatly packed into several more boxes and taken to my home with the intent of somehow making them available for the world to appreciate.
While I envisioned a final collection with each poem precisely captured and indexed I quickly realized that the amount of time it would take to complete that effort was at least an order of magnitude greater than the time I had to spend on it. Thus the task became merely to scan every page in the boxes and write a few lines of HTML that would allow any interested person with a computer to peruse Glenna's literary works. At this time (Holloway_1.0) about 80% of the pages have been scanned. What remains will require more careful sorting and preparation so I have chosen to pause that effort and focus on making an initial release.
Questions about the method and form of the release, ownership, copyright laws, the wishes of Glenna and other equally unknown or unknowable considerations constantly stalled the release.
Some poems appear in multiple directories. In some cases they are identical but upon closer examination there may be differences in a few lines. Which version should be published? Some poems, even to my eyes, are not remarkable. Should they be included? Some have been published in at least one book (Never Far From Water) and many in collections. Some pages acknowledge these previous publications. Copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years! What are the implications of that?
It appears, as is so often the case in life, the safest and easiest path is to DO NOTHING!
So, this is the first release of the folder named Holloway_1.0. It is admittedly in rough form for which I apologize. One professional friend of Glenna emphatically stated that Glenna would only want her best and final works published. If I could pose that question to Glenna today, arguing that struggling poets could learn not only from her inspiring successes but also her mediocre failures, I believe that she would look off into the distance and nod in approval!
If you receive the Holloway_1.0 folder on a flash drive you should copy the entire folder onto your desktop or some other location on your local disk drive and then double click on the file named index.html inside the folder. The rest should be intuitive.
As you peruse the files please make a note of inconsistencies or errors you find in the links and I will try to incorporate necessary changes in the next release of Holloway_2.0.
I do hope that you enjoy the wonderful gifts that Glenna has left to us!

There are plenty of modern dystopian novels, including Lois Lowry’s The Giver, Jeanne DuPrau’s Book of Ember series and, more recently, Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother and Neal Shusterman’s Unwind. But the genre is more popular than ever.

After holding a number of focus groups with the teachers at Kishunju Primary School, we found that the biggest issue facing the teachers was their lack of resource books from which to plan and deliver lessons. When we looked through the library at the school, we found that many of the books they have were badly damaged or out dated and from the old curriculum. This meant that teachers are improvising their lesson plans and have not been able to follow the curriculum as stipulated by the government, which in turn has a negative affect on the grades achieved by the students. Therefore we put together an inventory and agreed to stock the library to ensure that each teacher has one resource book per class, which will enable them to plan the lessons according to the content that is on the Ugandan curriculum. In order to make this project sustainable, we are supporting the expansion of the school vegetable garden by providing more seeds, and are also investigating ways in which we can cultivate high quality coffee on the school land, which in the future will allow the school to generate their own income and buy the necessary scholastics themselves.


Pin-Ups 1972-82: Ten Years Of Classic Posters From The Punk, New Wave And Glam Era
On 11 May 2018, ‘Pin-Ups 1972-82: Ten Years Of Classic Posters From The Punk, New Wave And Glam Era’ will be issued in softback coffee table format by Extradition Publishing. From Glam through Punk to New Wave and Post-Punk, this collection of over 200 posters from the 1970s onwards celebrate a decade's music and design. Drawing on scores of personal interviews with stars, artists, photographers and fly-posting mafiosi, Alwyn Turner and Roger Crimlis tell the stories behind the pictures from a golden age of rock & roll. Adam Ant has provided a brand new and insightful Foreword to this edition. The book is available for pre-order now from www.viveleshop.com.
These are the images that adorned our bedroom walls: they asserted our allegiances, fuelled our fantasies, and let our friends know where we stood in the grand scheme of rock & roll. We still remember them this way: with yellowing strips of Sellotape stuck diagonally across the corners, with the faint aroma of illicit cigarette smoke clinging to them, with the wear, tear and graffiti that accumulated over the years.
This re-issue of ‘Pin-Ups 1972-82: Ten Years Of Classic Posters From The Punk, New Wave And Glam Era’ is bolstered with dozens of new images and new insights from those who were there. Critically acclaimed when first published, State Of The Art hailed, “The definitive review of the decade's music graphics'; whilst Mojo praised the collection as “A winning rumination on a golden period of pop”.
With posters featuring iconic images of timeless artists like Bowie, Blondie, Ramones, The Damned, Adam Ant, Motorhead, Suicide, Iggy Pop, Tom Robinson Band and Lou Reed, ‘Pin-Ups 1972-82: Ten Years Of Classic Posters From The Punk, New Wave And Glam Era’ is a true time capsule.
Quite simply: this book is for anyone who has ever blu-tacked a poster to their bedroom wall. To enter let us know what tickets are on sale on our ticket partner page.

We all know writers who can tell many tales with the same voice – Agatha Christie, Truman Capote, James Patterson,
I prefer the less known writers who express themselves with many voices in different genres.
My favorite is Doris Lessing, best known for The Golden Notebook, which was a “must read” for women during the radical feminist 60s and 70s. http://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/apr/06/the-golden-notebook-50-years-on
As a reader (I didn’t think of myself as a writer back then) I admired her versatility. She wrote novels about South Africa and about cats. Her works included short stories, poetry, essays, criticisms, science fiction and a clever little prank she pulled on publishers.
Using a pseudonym she sent out manuscripts for The Diary of a Good Neighbour by Jane Somers, which many publishers rejected. One commented that it was very similar to the writings of Doris Lessing (which shows that within her many works, her voice was still clearly hers). Only after it was published did she reveal herself to be the author. 🙂 Brilliant.
Now that I am a writer, I do not seek to find my voice (as is often suggested) but to increase my vocal range, so to speak. I have written non-fiction spiritual genre books and now branch out to include a novel of Saint Francis that I hope goes beyond an historical or biographical account but is a reflection of our modern times.
It’s work, often a struggle. It’s not so much the research (thank you, Google and the local library). It’s forcing the limits of my own writing abilities. I suppose, it’s much like a singer trying to hit that high note.
In conclusion, what we writers have to say is important. Equally so is how we say it. As every artist – the good ones, that is – strive to discover new ways of expression (which is why I also like the musician Sting) all writers should push themselves to increase their vocal range.


“God Cares but Do We.” As the name suggests, this book is about God. It takes the most powerful question in the world – ‘Who am I?’ to answer it. The book dwells on exploring the universality of human nature and how every individual connects to the universe to take care of
The book evenly describes the ever-changing faces of God and how He helps us take the reins of life into our hands. It talks about the origins of life, then moves on to ‘Creative Soul’ that talks about youth and passion – two things that characterize every human being’s first steps into world. This phase also shows how one can become selfless in love.
Another part refers to the process where a person learns from their mistakes, understands life better through experience & creates something new by dint of sheer hard work. Finally, a part deals with the final stage of evolution as a soul – wisdom, understanding & awareness of everything around us. It talks about how a person overcomes life’s challenges by being compassionate & caring to everyone around. This is the best spiritual book to read for people who wonder about the nature of life & the truthfulness behind our struggles of existence.
The book is an exploration of human nature and showcases the journey of realization from ignorance to awareness to knowledge. Filled with anecdotes from the author’s personal experiences, it talks about looking within yourself for answers. It also deals with the deeper aspects of human psychology in an elegant way which makes you understand your own self even better. The warmth that runs through this text makes it a delightful & light read!


This dissertation focuses on what are probably the three most famous ‘monster
stories’ of the 19th century: Frankenstein (1818), The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
(1886) and Dracula (1897). The aim of my research was to determine how information is
shared or not shared within and across private, semi-private, and public spaces in the
three novels, and how the different characters contribute to the production of those
spaces. Almost all of the main characters spend a...


Samir Amin is an Egyptian political author who was born in Cairo in 1931. He is one of the most important neo-marxist intellectual. He developed his political, economical and statistics studies in Paris. In 1957 he presented his thesis, supervised by François Perroux among others, originally titled "The origins of underdevelopment - capitalist accumulation on a world scale" but retitled "The structural effects of the international integration of precapitalist economies. A theoretical study of the mechanism which creates so-called underdeveloped economies".
