It also has one of my current favourite lead characters in a young adult series – Lena developed brilliantly in book one and continues to do so here, becoming more and more of a real heroine as the book progresses. Flicking between the early days immediately following her escape, as she settles into the community along with her new allies Raven and Tack, and a time a bit later on when she plays a more active role in the resistance, Pandemonium has more of the thrills and excitement that made the first book an enjoyable read. Having to face the unthinkable - life without Alex – she chooses to join the resistance of the Invalids in an attempt to bring down those who have made love into a disease. Having escaped from Portland at the end of book 1, Lena is alone in the Wilds. ![]() Summary: Despite a slightly predictable ending, the second in the Delirium series is an exciting read featuring a fabulous heroine.Īs always when I review sequels, spoilers for book 1 lie ahead – you’ve been warned! ![]() ![]() ![]() “Roth’s house is still there,” he tells The Post. To re-create Roth’s world of 80 years ago, Hoover toured the writer’s hometown, the Weequahic section of Newark. “It’s not as if we were creating a world transformed by an alien invasion.” “We decided that accuracy was important,” says production designer Richard Hoover, who oversaw the first three of the show’s six episodes. ![]() He even called the couple’s younger son Philip.Īnd so, when David Simon and Ed Burns adapted Roth’s book, they made sure the setting around the working-class, American-Jewish Levin family looked like the real thing. ![]() Roth, who died in 2018 at 85, hewed close to his roots in writing about the Levin family in 1940s Newark, NJ. That 2004 novel is the inspiration for HBO’s new miniseries of the same name, which runs Mondays through April 20. In “The Plot Against America,” aviator and Nazi sympathizer Charles Lindbergh wins the presidential election against Franklin Roosevelt, unleashing a flood of anti-Semitism that leaves families cowering in their homes. Sixteen years before the current pandemic gripped us, writer Philip Roth envisioned a different kind of plague. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nevertheless, Newton preferred the corpuscular theory of light, with which he is usually associated, because of its explanatory value for certain optical phenomena and because it a llowed him to link the action of gross bodies with the action of light. His discovery of periodicity in Newton's rings, which would later prove to be so useful to Thomas Young, led Newton to postulate that periodicity was a fundamental property either of light waves or of waves associated with light. The book summarized Newton's discoveries and theories concerning light and color: the spectrum of the sunlight, the degrees of refraction associated with different colors, the color circle (the first in the history of color theory), the invention of the reflecting telescope the first workable theory of the rainbow, and experiments on what would later be called "interference effects" in conjunction with Newton's rings. Unlike most of Newton's works, Opticks was originally published in English, with the Latin version following in 1706. Isaac Newton published Opticks: Or a Treatise of the Reflexions, Refractions, Inflexions and Colours of Light. Also Two Treatises of the Species and Magnitude of Curvilinear Figures in London in 1704. ![]() ![]() ![]() This lodge has been in my family for decades and I make running it look easy. I spend my days soothing frantic brides, calming nervous grooms, and officiating wedding ceremonies. Gray I run the Forever After Lodge in Sweetheart, North Carolina. Now I’m stuck with my grumpy mountain man for the week, but that’s OK. Except he’s the tour guide that promised my friend he’d show me around town. He’s scruffy, burly, and growls at me…and I’m not talking about the bear! At least, I won’t have to see him again after today. First, the rental car breaks down then a huge bear appears, and now this grumpy mountain man is rushing to rescue me. ![]() Book excerpt: Can this grumpy mountain man who doesn’t believe in love find forever with the sunshine woman he rescued?

In Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked, Adam Alter, a professor of marketing at New York University, combines traditional business and psychology research with an investigation of modern addiction engineering. User addiction is sometimes accidental but there is growing evidence that designers have learned to engineer and manipulate it. Scientists are discovering that social media, video games, and other online platforms have been designed to make them addictive, to the point at which privacy and other scruples are forgotten. Now that governments are finally investigating the use of personal data by online behemoths like Facebook, the time is nigh for evaluating how such companies have convinced billions of people to hand over their personal data voluntarily. ![]() ![]() ![]() Why does Lin get completely fucked over while Motley (who got HYPNOTISED **FIRST**) got off scot-free? Why does she spend half the book 'dead' and imprisoned? She gets exactly 0 PoV chapters after her capture! Why is the revelation about Yagharek's crimes the *last* fucking thing that happens? Then, once the Slake-moths have been beaten, the book just ends. The whole ride, from slowly being introduced to the world of Baslag through Isaac's research and Lin's art, to Yagharek's exploration of New Crobuzon and himself (narrated as if Yagharek were dictating an epic poem about himself, which I love) to the desperate fight against the Slake-moths completely grabbed me. It felt like so many threads were just cut short and so much foreshadowing just wasted. You put them together in so many interesting ways.įuck you for ending this book the way you did. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She answered a few questions about Salvage the Bones via email.

Esch thinks, “I wonder where the world where that day happened has gone, because we are not in it.” As much as you’ve read about Katrina, Ward’s account, through the eyes of Esch, leaves you absolutely wrecked.

Some of Dixon’s assumptions are more of the fiction side of science fiction. Dixon makes a lot of assumptions early on – such as introduction of genetically engineered human sub-species adopted to specific environments and then tries to guess how might have they evolved when left to their own devices. Even though it looks and feels like a nature book, it is a work of pure speculative fiction. He factors in various variable influences such as coming of another ice age, magnetic pole reversal of the planet and human meddling via genetic engineering. As it is suggested on the cover, Dixon aims to predict where evolution will take the human species in the next 5 million years. It is written in the style of nature documentaries, or these classic Zoology/Dinosaur books we all have read as kids. It is not really a novel, as it does not have a cohesive story. So I read the whole thing, and I must say it is interesting. Wouldn’t you be? I mean, I totally want to know how the human species could possibly evolve from the current state to Monkey-horse Darth Vader thing from the cover. “Anthropology of the Future” eh? I’m interested. ![]() |
