Allen and Harry Rigby and with music by Jimmy McHugh and lyrics by Dorothy Fields and Al Dubin. Still, the poetic narrative will especially appeal to many African American families for language that reflects the sounds and rhythms of their households ("I'm gone always be yo sweet Ma'Dear"), and the reassuring words and joyful images should touch an even broader audience. SUGAR BABIES, a tribute to the burlesque era, was conceived by Ralph G. There is something a bit off-putting in the smothering maternal impulses that sometimes surface in Duncan's text (this mom wants to squeeze and kiss her "sweet Puddin' 'n' Pie" until "the sugar's gone"). In the past, weve interviewed several sugar babies (both men and women) as well as sugar mammas to chat about their experiences with sites like Seeking Arrangement, where men and women get. Setting off the warm skin tones with bright tropical hues, Keeter enfolds iconic moments of babyhood in a cocoon of burnt-sugar warmth and sweetness. This picture book could have been published as a sturdy board book, but it's easy to see why a full-size, hardcover format was ultimately chosen: Keeter's satiny oil portraits of an African American mom and her handsome toddler deserve to be reproduced in large format.

Her Flower Fairies watercolors have a unique combination of naturalism and fantasy that no imitators have matched.

First published in the 1920s, Cicely Mary Barker’s original Flower Fairies books have been loved for generations. None expect this ship's graveyard to hold a deadly secret that will force the android Data to make a heart-wrenching decision about the path his life will take - and that will endanger not only the Enterprise, but Picard's future in Starfleet. To others, including the rapacious Androssi, it is a scavenger's paradise, ripe for salvage. To some alien races, the former battleground is hallowed space. The Enterprise has been assigned to patrol the perimeter of the danger zone, while other vessels carry out the difficult and highly hazardous task of retrieving the bodies of the dead from the wrecked warships. The explosive destruction of so many varied warp drives has severely distorted the space-time continuum in this region, resulting in dangerous unleashed energies and bizarre gravitational anomalies. The site of one of the Dominion War's fiercest battles, the Rashanar Sector now contains a vast interstellar graveyard littered with the lifeless hulks of hundreds of devastated starships.

Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 18:06:08 Bookplateleaf 0006 Boxid IA1314223 Boxid_2 CH130002 City Lodi, N.J. Vividly realized and tightly wound, HUNTED builds tension on the edge of a knife. Before Taylor can come to grips with this development, regional fighting intrudes upon the refuge and the story takes a very dark turn. Taylor's genetic "mother" is someone she's known for years, a famous scientist. As the novel opens, news of the company's success in cloning has been announced to the media, although Taylor's identity has been kept secret. A year and a half ago, Taylor learned that she is actually a clone-as are four other children born at the same time, to parents who worked for the same company as the Walkers. Taylor Walker, 14, lives with her parents, wardens of an orangutan refuge in Kandah State, an independent nation "squashed" between Malaysia and Indonesia. This mostly taut but ultimately disappointing sci-fi thriller opens with a complex, riveting set-up. Her work focuses on politics, gender and social change. Since then, Cathy has published a series of investigations into corruption at Balad airbase in Iraq, and an investigative feature into the murder of a prominent female activist in Baghdad. In 2018, she won the One World Media New Voice Award and was a finalist for the Kurt Schork Memorial Award for courage in journalism. In her book, Cathy wrote about trans generational resistance to slavery among Iraq’s Yezidis. The Los Angeles Review of Books described With Ash on Their Faces as: "The best kind of humanist journalism: lucid, transparent, grimly realistic.… (N)o book has covered it better.”Ĭathy worked as a reporter in the UK, and then as a correspondent in Iraq for the Independent and others. Cathy Otten is an award-winning British journalist and author of With Ash On Their Faces: Yezidi Women and the Islamic State (OR books 2017). it details the a story of the relationship that develops between a man and a woman with whom he was enamored in his youth. this is about the dangers of literature upon the fragile human psyche, and the transportive power of words. yeah, i said it: henry james is a drag, man. This is somewhat similar to turn of the screw with all its spooky ambiguity, but without all that tortured prose. This book contains two novellas, which is the usual format for hesperus books (and if you don't know them, you should check out their list, because they are great, and strangely - they seem to do a lot of books that involve supernatural elements from authors who don't usually do the supernatural, which is interesting. So - phew - still "real literature" and not some early russian paranormal romance. This led to a degree of criticism from those of his contemporaries who insisted on the pre-eminence of realism in literature, but such disapproval might be countered with the argument that here the supernatural should actually be interpreted not literally, but psychologically, as the projection of the characters' troubled feelings about their situation. and yet it is still a "real book" despite the presence of haints, although david would most likely be among turgenev's detractors for this. Who knew turgenev did the supernatural? well he did. "Nancy Johnson's The Kindest Lie is a layered, complex exploration of race and class. "A profound look at racial and economic injustices in America." This modern-day depiction of a woman in crisis and what she discovers about what she left behind is well-written, timely, and oh-so-memorable." "A fantastic story of a marriage and what happens when one spouse secretly had a child prior to knowing the other. Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Cruel Beautiful World A gloriously written, stunning heart scorcher about who we are and what we could be." Like a heat-seeking missile, her novel hones in on who we think we belong to and why, following the merging lives of Ruth, a black female engineer who seeks out the child she gave away, and Midnight, a young white boy struggling to find his place in the very poverty Ruth managed to escape. "Race, class, family, and secrets are all on a collision course in Johnson's extraordinarily moving, timely read. See my research page or annotated publications for more details.įor some biographical background, I did an oral history interview for the American Institute of Physics. These days my focus has shifted to more foundational questions, both in quantum mechanics (origin of probability, emergence of space and time) and statistical mechanics (entropy and the arrow of time, emergence and causation, dynamics of complexity), bringing a more philosophical dimension to my work. Most of my career has been spent doing research on cosmology, field theory, and gravitation, looking at topics such as dark matter and dark energy, modified gravity, topological defects, extra dimensions, and violations of fundamental symmetries. I'm the Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy - in effect, a joint appointment between physics and philosophy - at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and fractal faculty at the Santa Fe Institute. |
