Yes, this time around Loki has to be squashed into the concurrent Secret Wars, but there’s also enough leeway for Ewing to play his own game.Īs the final curtain appears, though, Ewing pulls it all together, and the closing two chapters not only restore the Loki we began the series with, but delve into the origins of Asgardian myth. Odin with a massive old-fashioned gatling gun, the origin of Verity Willis, and some fantastic art from Lee Garbett, but for all of that much of Last Days book is replaying a familiar tune. The Loki of the past two books barely appears, as others with that name cavort across the universe sowing war among the Gods. Two books later we have trauma, angst and, yes, sadly, tedium. And it occurs so ask “Where did it all go wrong?” Trust Me introduced a new Loki, related to the old, but with a possibility of forging a different path, deftly scripted in light-hearted fashion by Al Ewing. It requires a fair amount of exposition, and when it ends the rug has been pulled again as we jump forward eight months and straight into another Marvel crossover. This was set up to conclude I Cannot Tell a Lie. Again, the title is literal as the book opens with an aged Loki from the future having created a captive audience as he relates how his recreated and well meaning younger self wouldn’t be able to avoid becoming again what he always was.

But could I tell a fresh story – giving readers a new perspective? There were dozens and dozens of books already written about it, and if I didn’t have something new to say, I shouldn’t even try. When I realized the 100th anniversary of the sinking was coming up in 2012, I knew I wanted to write about it. ‘I’ve been fascinated by the tragedy of the Titanic for years. I asked Kate how the idea for The Dressmaker first came about? Already a New York Times Bestseller, the novel was published in the UK and Ireland in late February. It is an intriguing perspective of a well-known event and is a fascinating read because of that. With her sixth novel The Dressmaker author Kate Alcott (the pen name of Patricia O’Brien) wanted to tell the ‘other’ side of the Titanic tragedy: the story of the aftermath and what happened to the survivors. It is then, little wonder, that this historical event continues to inspire authors, documentary and film makers over and over again. The tragic sinking of RMS Titanic in the early hours of the morning of 15th April 1912, with the loss of 1,503 passengers and crew, is an event which continues to fascinate and evoke strong, emotional responses and 2012 saw the centenary of the Titanic tragedy being marked with many touching, commemorative events across the globe.

Licensing Public domain Public domain false false I want to start off this review by explicitly stating that this book will NOT be for everyone. Milk Fed is a tender and riotously funny meditation on love, certitude, and the question of what we are all being fed, from one of our major writers on the psyche-both sacred and profane. Pairing superlative emotional insight with unabashed vivid fantasy, Broder tells a tale of appetites: physical hunger, sexual desire, spiritual longing, and the ways that we as humans can compartmentalize these so often interdependent instincts. Rachel is suddenly and powerfully entranced by Miriam-by her sundaes and her body, her faith and her family-and as the two grow closer, Rachel embarks on a journey marked by mirrors, mysticism, mothers, milk, and honey. Rachel is content to carry on subsisting-until her therapist encourages her to take a ninety-day communication detox from her mother, who raised her in the tradition of calorie counting.Įarly in the detox, Rachel meets Miriam, a zaftig young Orthodox Jewish woman who works at her favorite frozen yogurt shop and is intent upon feeding her. At night, she pedals nowhere on the elliptical machine. By day, she maintains an illusion of existential control, by way of obsessive food rituals, while working as an underling at a Los Angeles talent management agency. Rachel is twenty-four, a lapsed Jew who has made calorie restriction her religion. Did you know that the Ellis Island laundry washed as many as 3,000 sheets and towels in a single day? Did you know that in ten years, the number of Irish immigrants who came to New York City (650,000) was nearly twice as many as the total number of people who lived in New York City (372,000) at the beginning of that decade? The book also contains historical photographs, brief stories about some of the famous Americans that came through Ellis Island and information about the decay and restoration of Ellis Island after it was closed as an immigration entry point. Did you know that the United States had an open door policy on immigration until 1921? That means that anyone who wanted to come to this country was welcome as long as they were healthy and could support themselves. This short nonfiction book is a great introduction not only to Ellis Island, the entry point of millions of American immigrants, but also to the subject of immigration in the nineteenth century. What Was Ellis Island? by Patricia Brennan Demuth It is heartbreaking, challenging, and a page-turner." Anna Swisher, ILCA "This book is the most profound exploration of the global and personal costs of artificial feeding I have encountered. The infant feeding product companies’ thirst for profit systematically undermines mothers’ confidence in their ability to breastfeed their babies.Īn essential and inspirational eye-opener, The Politics of Breastfeeding challenges our complacency about how we feed our children and radically reappraises a subject which concerns not only mothers, but everyone: man or woman, parent or childless, old or young. In her powerful book Gabrielle Palmer describes how big business uses subtle techniques to pressure parents to use alternatives to breastmilk. As revealing as Freakonomics, shocking as Fast Food Nationand thought provoking as No Logo, The Politics of Breastfeeding exposes infant feeding as one of the most important public health issues of our time.Įvery thirty seconds a baby dies from infections due to a lack of breastfeeding and the use of bottles, artificial milks and other risky products. The race is on - but the real games have only just begun. 'A smart and funny modern romance.'

Debut author Sally Thorne bursts on the scene with a hilarious and sexy workplace comedy all about that pencil-thin line between hate and love. Twice in the last five elections, the Electoral College has overridden the popular vote, calling the integrity of the entire system into question-and creating a false picture of a country divided into bright red and blue blocks when in fact we are purple from coast to coast. How can we tolerate the Electoral College when every vote does not count the same, and the candidate who gets the most votes can lose? It deepens our national divide and distorts the core democratic principles of political equality and majority rule. To this day, millions of voters, and even members of Congress, misunderstand how it works. Lawmakers have tried to amend or abolish it more than 700 times. The framers of the Constitution battled over it. "Wegman combines in-depth historical analysis and insight into contemporary politics to present a cogent argument that the Electoral College violates America's 'core democratic principles' and should be done away with.
