Supplemented with original newspaper articles, clippings, funeral notices, memorial ephemera and more, the collection will take us on a journey through a fascinating, moving, and melancholically beautiful part of our past. ![]() Summary: Beyond the Dark Veil: Post Mortem and Mourning Photography from The Thanatos Archive is a compilation of more than 120 extraordinary and haunting photographs and related ephemera documenting the practice of death and mourning photography in the Victorian Era and early twentieth century. ![]() ![]() ![]() You are not a dozen gerbils in a skin casing ”. On an inappropriate first date at a theme park, Edie feels “the high-fructose sun of the park like an insult” her pre-date pep talk to herself goes “ You are a desirable woman. Leilani’s prose mesmerises you go with her, wherever she decides to take youĪnd she delivers many killer lines along the way, sharpened by unexpected details and cynical insights. ![]() But Leilani’s prose mesmerises you go with her, wherever she decides to take you. Leilani’s setup, manoeuvring Edie into their family home in New Jersey, stretches credulity, however, as do a few unlikely set pieces featuring the inscrutable Rebecca (dragging Edie into a moshpit at a thrash metal concert, for instance). Pleasingly, Edie’s relationship with the older Eric soon takes second place to stranger, subtler, more complex ones: with his wife, Rebecca – the cool, capable negative image of the hot mess that is Edie – and with their adopted black preteen daughter, Akila. This is an elevated example of the “millennial novel”, swerving cliche. But Leilani writes with such biting distinctiveness that, while Luster may feel extremely zeitgeisty, it never seems like it’s chasing or overly beholden to it. There’s familiarity in her messiness: her attempts to fill the void with sexual attention, her devaluing and debasing herself and her body. Edie is the sort of flawed female character we’re seeing much more of in fiction and on screen. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Gradgrind and the other students criticize Sissy’s whimsical view of the world. Her father is a circus performer and has abandoned Sissy. As part of the school’s charitable outreach, he offers a scholarship to a local girl named Cecilia Jupe, otherwise known as Sissy. Gradgrind uses his wealth to establish a school based on his ideas. He instructs them not to pursue fanciful ideas that don’t immediately benefit them. He lectures students about this philosophy of self-interest and brings up his own children, Tom and Louisa, to believe in this philosophy. Thomas Gradgrind is a wealthy merchant who lives there and who, following his retirement, has dedicated his life to promoting what he believes is a rational, fact-based philosophy. ![]() This guide is written using an eBook edition of the 2003 Penguin Classics edition.Ĭontent Warning: The source material features depictions of blackface, substance use, and exploitation.Ĭoketown is a fictitious industrial city in northern England. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() First evidence for fin whale migration into the Pacific from Antarctic feeding grounds at Elephant Island.

I also enjoy the new POVs in Valour but I must admit, I had forgotten just how much I hate Lykos. Cywen, his sister, is likewise interesting and her interactions with both Veradis and Alcyon are fun to read. Corban makes for a very sympathetic young hero and I am very much enjoying the journey he is going on. I love reading these characters, even the ones I hate. This is largely in part due to the characters. There is so much going on but it never feels confusing and it never drags. Nathair is on his holy quest, after having been told he is the Bright Star, which leads to lots of battles, violence and death. At the end of the first book, Corban and his small band of companions were forced to flee their home in order to save the life of the dead King’s daughter, Edana. It takes the events of Malice and builds on them so superbly that it turns into a rollercoaster ride from beginning to end. I don’t think there are enough adjectives to describe just how good Valour is. ![]() Sides are chosen and oaths will be fulfilled or broken in a land where hell has broken loose. ![]() ![]() ![]() Parking: Lot one block north street parking (meters free after 7pm).

Rather than steel ourselves against such change, this book invites us to feel, map, assess, and learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand and influence them as they happen. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. The world is in a continual state of flux. The result of emergent strategy workshops adrienne has been holding for years, this book has a built-in audience like (and overlapping with) the following. Inspired by Octavia Butler's explorations of our human relationship to change, Emergent Strategy is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live.

Sale and Loeb came to prominence in the comic book industry with a series of Halloween special issues they created for the Batman anthology series “Legends of the Dark Knight” throughout the early ’90s. In 1991, Sale teamed up with Loeb for a limited series revival of the Jack Kirby sci-fi team “Challengers of the Unknown.” Following this collaboration, the two began to work regularly together, including on “Wolverine/Gambit: Victims,” a miniseries about the popular X-Men characters. He began his career as an artist in the early ’80s, illustrating the independent comic “MythAdventures.” Other independent work from Sale includes the series “Thieves’ World,” “Billi 9,” and the critically-acclaimed “Grendel” from Matt Wagner. ![]() Loeb was born in Ithaca, N.Y in 1956, and attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City. ![]() ![]() Then and now, Alvar's escape is music-especially jazz music.Through their unconventional friendship, Steffi comes to realise that she won't always feel alone.
