Description for Dorothy Must Die Stories Volume 2: Heart of Tin, The Straw King, Ruler of Beasts (Dorothy Must Die Novella) Paperback. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A firm believer of the simultaneous forces of nature and nurture, Ridley has little patience for behaviorists, and stresses that genetic effects from physiology to psychology are pervasive but also complex. The chapter titles range from conflict to intelligence, highlighting that the genetic landscape has a nebulous and important impact on our lives. The book is broken into twenty-three chapters corresponding to a given chromosome, and each chapter highlights a specific gene native to that chromosome. Do to its abstract nature, the field of genetics is prone to analogies, many of them confounding, but Ridley does a good job at finding appropriate comparisons and articulating how satisfactory the concurrence is between these conceptual shorthands and underlying reality. ![]() His specific knowledge of genetics and biology has helped him hone in on the key principals that one need appreciate to understand the central dogma behind modern biology and genetics. Ridley is a well-respected journalist with The Economist, and knows how to write authoritatively on issues of popular science. I knew I would not be disappointed with Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters as I had read Ridley’s previous book The Red Queen, about the biological origins of sexual reproduction with great delight. ![]() ![]() ![]() ‘Draws a vivid picture of the trailblazing pirate queen.’ Irish Examiner This updated edition brings one of the world’s first recorded feminist trailblazers to a new generation awakened to the global focus on gender equality as well as positive ageing. Political pragmatist and tactician, rebel, intrepid mariner and pirate, wife, lover, mother, grandmother and matriarch, the ‘most notorious woman in all the coasts of Ireland’, Grace O’Malley challenged and triumphed over the social and political barriers she encountered in the course of her long, pioneering life. In the 40th anniversary edition of this international bestselling biography, drawn from rare contemporary manuscript records, the author presents Ireland’s great pirate queen not as a vague mythological figure but as one of the world’s most extraordinary female leaders. The biography became a milestone in Irish publishing and the catalyst for the restoration of Grace O’Malley to political, social and maritime history, as well as establishing her as an inspirational female role model. In 1979, Anne Chambers’ original biography of Ireland’s pirate queen, airbrushed from historical record over the centuries, put her on the map once again. Grace O’Malley is the story of one remarkable woman’s quest for survival and fulfilment, by land and by sea. ![]() ![]() This persuades Mac to agree to Brymn’s request.

Other than the continued interest in Robert E. A handful of further Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories trickled out over the next two decades until Cele Goldsmith commissioned brand-new stories for Fantastic magazine starting in 1959, which lead to the Ace paperback collections of the late 1960s. The first story featuring the Twain (as they are often called) to appear in print was “Two Sought Adventure” AKA “The Jewels in the Forest” in 1939 in Unknown magazine. Leiber and his lifelong friend Harry Otto Fischer created Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser in an exchange of letters in 1934, basing the pair loosely on their own friendship, with Fischer as the diminutive Mouser and Leiber as the towering Fafhrd. Although Swords and Deviltry is first in the series chronology, it was actually the fourth book published. ![]() Swords and Deviltry (Ace Books, 1970) by Fritz Leiber was originally published in paperback as part of Ace Books’ complete seven volume saga of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. ![]() ![]() Keagan also says that much of the victory can be attributed to the French cutting their lances short for close combat while the English kept theirs long. Maps - the book would have benefited greatly if there had been a few.Īs to the battle 'The Face Of Battle: A Study of Agincourt, Waterloo and the Somme' by Keagan brought it to life much better for me. I would have liked some discussion as to when and how the concept of Englishness came about, since it is referred to so often and is central to the claim of an English King over France rather than the other way round. I certainly understand the nature of chivalry much better than I did and it is clear that they could celebrate great events in medieval times every bit as well as we can celebrate the Olympic Games today. ![]() Henry V came across very well, as did his clever use of symbolic acts to achieve his ends (acts which he really seemed to have believed in). Best when dealing with insights such as the function of heralds, or the system of dating. Overall a superb book but I agree with some other reviewers that it could get bogged down in detail that, as a non-historian, was unlikely to have any lasting significance for me. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Naga escapes, dropping a coin with strange engravings. Shiva, the fabled savior of the land of Meluha, rushes to save his wife Sati from the Naga, the supposed killer of Shiva's friend Brahaspati. The story begins where The Immortals of Meluha ended. His journey ultimately leads him to the Naga capital of Panchavati, where he finds a surprise waiting for him. Shiva also learns that Sati's first child is still alive, as well as her twin sister. Later Shiva takes his troop of soldiers and travels far east to the land of Branga, where he wishes to find a clue to reach the Naga people. It begins from where its predecessor, The Immortals Of Meluha, left off, with Shiva trying to save Sati from the invading Naga. The story takes place in the imaginary land of Meluha and narrates how the inhabitants of that land are saved from their wars by a nomad named Shiva. The Secret of the Nagas is the second novel of the Shiva trilogy series by the Indian author Amish Tripathi. ![]() ![]() A little background research suggests that Ondowsky’s being first on the scene at incidents of horrific carnage is no coincidence, and Holly wonders if the reporter might be deliberately causing atrocities. Private investigator Holly Gibney is watching breaking news coverage of a bomb attack at a middle school when she notices something odd about the reporter, Chet Ondowsky. ![]() ![]() The title comes from the callous (but accurate) newsroom axiom “if it bleeds, it leads”. The showpiece here is the title novella, a sequel of sorts to King’s 2018 novel The Outsider, which was shown as a 10-part HBO series at the beginning of this year. ![]() If It Bleeds brings together four new stories, all offering vintage King themes with their own particular twist. S tephen King has made good use of the sometimes tricky novella form over his nearly 50-year career, often as a vehicle to explore ideas and styles that lie off the more familiar path of his horror novels. ![]() |
