This is not your Adam and Eve creation story, this one actually makes more sense HA! Beautifully written, I could see this becoming a children’s book and a fun tale to explain to them the coming of man. Seriously almost poetic in nature, Life Cycle is the tale of just that how man came to be. JAMES STEELE’S LIFE CYCLE: This is the perfect “how it came to be” myth story I was talking about. Tech and melded into a wonderful love story that gives the warnings of falling too in love with your social devices. Well what if you never had to feel that loneliness again? What if your iphone could reciprocate that love to you….in Slater’s almost satirical tale of technological horror, the quest to understand love is tested with Man vs. Most people of the tech generation feel lost or almost lonely if they are without their phones, ipads, etc. I love the title and the hand that walks into the bar leads the main character to a less than exciting show down but the context leading up to the ending is a really good read.ĭANGER SLATER’S THE APPLE OF MY iPHONE: A++++ This is my all time favorite story in this book. JOHN MCNEE’S A HAND WALKS INTO A BAR: This was a short but sweet tale. I really enjoyed most of the authors in this book but more so than others: A lot of the stories felt like they had a fable feel to them or like a story that sounds more like legend or myth. That being said, TTwSC II seemed have a better flow of stories.

Emma is reluctant to speak about it at first, but then she realises how important it is for her to use her influence and position to help make it better for others. On the one hand, they seem to be superficial and aloof, but little by little we get to know their real personalities.Īs I said, this book also deals with sexual assault and abuse of minors. I especially liked how the characters seem to have two sides, kind of what we would expect from real celebrities. Also, her relationships with other characters -boyfriend, brother, etc.- add some depth to the story and make it more compelling. Emma's character grows and develops throughout the book and it soon becomes a much different person. While in the first part of the book she might seem spoiled or bratty, it soon gets better. 'Off Script' deals with the dark side of the entertainment industry.Įmma, the main character, is a young actress who has been raised in the industry. However, there is more to it than romance between pretty people. This book is set in the glamourous life of attractive, well-off actors and actresses. I did not feel the need to know what happened in the previous books while I was reading this novel, however, I think some things would have made more sense if I did. 'Off Script' is part of a book series, something that I found out later. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book received through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Wilson also interweaves the developments in Argentine soccer with larger trends in the country’s sometimes-optimistic, often tragic history. These include superstars Alfredo Stéfano Di Stéfano, Diego Maradona, and Lionel Messi, all three of whom would be on just about any serious list of the top 10 players of all time. From the national team’s early (and still fertile) rivalry with Uruguay to its enduring struggle with Brazil for continental glory, Wilson explores not only the revered Albiceleste (named after the colors that make up the national team’s uniforms) and its many successes (and occasional droughts), but also the leagues and teams that Argentineans support and the players who have gone on to become international icons. In this ambitious book, he shows the development of Argentine soccer from the 19th century, when a large British expatriate community introduced it, through its spread across Argentina and its rapid emergence as the sport of the masses and to its place as one of the country’s most visible cultural phenomena. Guardian and Sports Illustrated journalist Wilson ( The Anatomy of Liverpool: A History in Ten Matches, 2013, etc.) is one of the most accomplished journalists and popular historians of soccer. The history of soccer and its singular place in Argentine society. Weir doesn’t anachronistically superimpose a feminist viewpoint on Elizabeth, who knows her value yet prefers being a supportive wife and mother, but her female characters are overly prone to weeping. The story gives a coherent, convincing picture of the treacherous political climate’s many players, showing why Elizabeth plots to marry Henry Tudor. However, her personality blossoms over time, and Weir provides a realistic feel for the worry Elizabeth’s family experiences as their fortunes shift, especially after Richard III usurps the throne following King Edward’s death and her brothers disappear while in his custody. The early sections move slowly, with outside events mostly recounted to her. The adored eldest daughter of Edward IV during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses, Elizabeth spends part of her childhood in sanctuary with her mother and siblings.

Almost every American president since World War II has asked the CIA to conduct sabotage, subversion and, yes, assassination. Originally known as the president's guerrilla warfare corps, SAD conducts risky and ruthless operations that have evolved over time to defend America from its enemies. When diplomacy fails, and war is unwise, the president calls on the CIA's Special Activities Division, a highly-classified branch of the CIA and the most effective, black operations force in the world. From Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen, the untold USA Today bestselling story of the CIA's secret paramilitary units. In effect, media now begs to be redefined. There has been a notable resurgence of interest in McLuhan's work in the last few years, fueled by the recent and continuing conjunctions between the cable companies and the regional phone companies, the appearance of magazines such as WiRed, and the development of new media models and information ecologies, many of which were spawned from MIT's Media Lab. Terms and phrases such as "the global village" and "the medium is the message" are now part of the lexicon, and McLuhan's theories continue to challenge our sensibilities and our assumptions about how and what we communicate. This reissue of Understanding Media marks the thirtieth anniversary (1964-1994) of Marshall McLuhan's classic expose on the state of the then emerging phenomenon of mass media. In Genius, James Gleick, author of the acclaimed best-seller Chaos, shows us a Feynman few have seen. His curiosity moved well beyond things scientific: he taught himself how to play drums, to give massages, to write Chinese, to crack safes. But there was also another side to him, one which made him a legendary figure among scientists. Never content with what he knew or with what others knew, Feynman ceaselessly questioned scientific truths. Architect of quantum theories, enfant terrible of the atomic bomb project, caustic critic of the space shuttle commission, Nobel Prize winner for work that gave physicists a new way of describing and calculating the interactions of subatomic particles, Richard Feynman left his mark on virtually every area of modern physics. To his scientific colleagues, Richard Feynman was a magician of the highest caliber. Física, Physicists, Physicists/ United States/ Biography, Physics, Physics/ History/ 20th CenturyĪ genius, a great mathematician once said, performs magic, does things that nobody else could do.
