Travelling at a more leisurely pace of 1,147 kilometres per hour, the vessel smoothly morphed its surface. The glow lasted only a few minutes, flickering out when the ship completed its braking manoeuvre The vessel had been designed to disrupt the air as little as possible, minimising friction with the atmospheric molecules. At the centre of the glow was a spaceship, built by a race of aliens far more advanced than humans. But even if someone looked directly at the red glow with a powerful telescope, they could not possibly see the object that was causing the fiery trail. The sky is a massive place, and at that very moment nobody was looking at that particular spot. High above the Earth, in the very upper reaches of the atmosphere, where the air slowly leaks away into space, a red glow appeared, streaking down through the sky. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Mary shelley wollstonecraft![]() She suggests that both men and women should be treated as rational beings and imagines a social order founded on reason.Īfter Wollstonecraft's death, her widower published a Memoir (1798) of her life, revealing her unorthodox lifestyle, which inadvertently destroyed her reputation for almost a century. Wollstonecraft is best known for A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), in which she argues that women are not naturally inferior to men but appear to be only because they lack education. Today Wollstonecraft is regarded as one of the founding feminist philosophers, and feminists often cite both her life and her works as important influences.ĭuring her brief career she wrote novels, treatises, a travel narrative, a history of the French Revolution, a conduct book, and a children's book. ![]() Until the late 20th century, Wollstonecraft's life, which encompassed several unconventional personal relationships at the time, received more attention than her writing.

( )Īfter her husband passes away from cancer Jillian Hart is slowly putting her life back together in a small South Carolina town, keeping herself busy with her quilting business and doting on her three cats. There was one conversation near the start of the book between Jillian and her new policewoman friend, Candace, where I rolled my eyes a bit and thought – neither woman is the brightest bulb, is she? But, it got (much) better. ![]() I liked some of the additional characters and some not-so-much. I suppose they were a bigger part of the storyline, due to the catnapping. The cats seemed extra-involved somehow, which of course, made it more fun for me. Was Syrah catnapped or did he head outside on his own? Only one of the police is interested in helping figure out if Jillian’s cat was stolen and was the reason for the break-in, but she is quickly taken off the case, so she and Jillian set off to see what they can figure out on their own. ![]() Jillian comes home from an overnight trip to find that not only has her house been broken into, one of her three cats is missing! When the police come, they find that there is nothing else missing. ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments Kaboom by Matt Gallagher![]() ![]() ![]() I sat down with him to discuss the novel, the various phases of the conflict in Iraq, and the modern American way of war. It’s fair to say many of us in the veteran writer community have been looking forward to his first novel for a long time, and Youngblood does not disappoint. In addition to writing fiction, he’s one of the smartest essayists and commentators on veteran’s issues, whether it’s on the members of my generation becoming ‘professional veterans,’ his meta-hot take on the hot takes on American Sniper, or what it’s like to compete in the world championship for the bar arcade game Big Buck Hunter (which, yes, counts as ‘veteran’s issues’). military, and later wrote the memoir Kaboom, a smart and funny and irreverent look at his 16-month deployment. He maintained a popular military blog while in Iraq, only to have it shut down by the U.S. Gallagher, an Army officer who served in Iraq, has long been a fixture on the veteran writing scene. A war novel wrapped around a murder mystery and wedded to a Bildungsroman, the book dramatizes in ways no one else has the conflicting strategies that characterized the American effort in Iraq. If you’d like to understand the modern American way of war, there aren’t many books that rise to the level of Matt Gallagher’s Youngblood (Atria Books, 2016). ![]() ![]() ![]() But with a body count that’s rising by the day, werewolves and humans are in equal danger. And though he’d resolved to keep things professional, Cooper’s friction with Park soon erupts…into a physical need that can’t be contained or controlled. When more people vanish, pressure to solve the case skyrockets. As they investigate a series of mysterious deaths unlike anything they’ve seen, every bone in Cooper’s body is suspicious of his new partner-even when Park proves himself as competent as he is utterly captivating. ![]() ![]() But as far as Cooper’s concerned, it’s failing. Park is an agent of The Trust, a werewolf oversight organization working to ease escalating tensions with the BSI. A new case comes with a new partner: ruggedly sexy werewolf Oliver Park. Hunting for big bad wolves was never part of Agent Cooper Dayton’s plan, but a werewolf attack lands him in the carefully guarded Bureau of Special Investigations.

Casting a star of the status of Rosario Dawson for Ahsoka’s live-action debut in The Mandalorian was a huge statement of intent (Ashley Eckstein voiced the character in the animated TV shows). Salk’s vaccine was the first practical way to fight it, and it worked-polio was officially eliminated in the U.S. Polio was a scourge, and had been infecting humans around the world for millennia. He had worked for three years to develop the polio vaccine, attacking a disease that killed 3000 Americans in 1952 alone, along with 58,000 newly reported cases.
