5/13/2023 0 Comments Middlesex by jeffrey eugenidesAnd even though the gene's epic travels have ended, her own odyssey has only begun. Thanks to the gene, Callie is part girl, part boy. The explanation for this shocking state of affairs is a rare genetic mutation - and a guilty secret - that have followed Callie's grandparents from the crumbling Ottoman Empire to Prohibition-era Detroit and beyond, outlasting the glory days of the Motor City, the race riots of 1967, and the family's second migration, into the foreign country known as suburbia. In fact, she is not really a girl at all. The passion that furtively develops between them - along with Callie's failure to develop physically - leads Callie to suspect that she is not like other girls. In the spring of 1974, Calliope Stephanides, a student at a girls' school in Grosse Pointe, finds herself drawn to a chain-smoking, strawberry-blonde classmate with a gift for acting.

5/13/2023 0 Comments God emperor of dune bookErrant Fish Speakers were isolated and served as Death Commandos or Berserkers. Leto also used them as secret agents and assassins, apart from the official Fish Speaker Guard and elite units as the Imperial Guard. The Fish Speakers were not only an army but also served as Leto's bureaucracy: pages, courtiers, archivists and teachers some were priestesses, serving as judge, jury, executioner in one. They were also, in terms of worlds ruled and historical longevity, the most effective military force ever known, though males were still employed as house guards. With the exception of the nomadic Amazons who legend described as once ruling part of the Asian steppes of the Old Earth, the Fish Speakers were just about the only effective all-female army known throughout the history of the Dune universe. He also needed a reliable religious organization to enforce what came to be known as Leto's Peace to ensure the unfolding of the Golden Path. Leto believed that male dominated military forces were essentially predatory and would turn against the civilian population in the absence of an external enemy, whereas a female one would tame and calm. He found the existing Fremen and Sardaukar forces unsuitable to his needs. Leto II founded the Fish Speakers to enforce his rule over the known universe. 5/13/2023 0 Comments From lukov to loveMoreover, since the tale is told from Jasmine’s perspective, readers can see when and how she starts falling in love. Yet, readers only see them become an item on the last few pages. It’s normal in hate to love romances that when the couple comes together, it’s not as fun. To be frank, I wasn’t completely satisfied. Jasmine is Jasmine, and I learned to love her. Her second breakdown regarding her father was moving as well. Jasmine’s breakdown over never being first in a sport she placed so much time and effort into made me emotional. However, the self-growth and journey Jasmine undergoes were relatable and vulnerable. Ivan, on the other hand, is a well-known gold medalist.Īt first, Jasmine reminded me of the main character from Kulti (another book written by the same author), and I wasn’t a fan of the immaturity and fiery intensity. Jasmine is a tough cookie who cracks under pressure and hasn’t ever won. The story follows a pair of figure skaters Jasmine Santos and Ivan Lukov, who just entered a new partnership filled with bickering and banter. Recently, I bought the e-book since it’s not available on my library app and just finished it. It has positive reviews and is often compared to the movie “The Cutting Edge,” which I adore. I was always curious about From Lukov with Love. I have read a few of her other books and enjoyed them. The author, Mariana Zapata, has a way with slow-burn romances she’s a master. ~ Warning!

Would it even refer to the same rose, cultivated as a hybrid of two or three other kinds for the high quality of its oil? Yeah, if I’m nitpicking about this, you can imagine the rest of the book is very close to perfection! Unless, by some coincidence, there is also a city called Damascus in this fictional world, and, coincidentally, it was also involved in the history of cultivation of this particular rose, the name doesn’t make sense. It could be a French braid, or Carrara marble, or anything. Every once in a while, I read a book set up in a fantasy universe, and I come across terms referring to actual places in our world that break my immersion. It’s so insignificant that it’s not even worth mentioning, but it’s a part of a larger trend in fantasy and has become a pet peeve of mine. The world-building is exquisite, blending so many creatures and legends into one coherent whole. We are thrown into a beautiful, magical world of lush gardens and sweet fruits, spirits and demons, yakshas, rakshas, vanaras. A charming, colorful, atmospheric fantasy book, based on Hindu epics. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Feminism is for everybody authorMy students love it, and they relish the simple, clear definition of feminism bell hooks provides (which she first formulated 10 years earlier in Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center):įeminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. I’m sure I’m not the only Gender Studies professor who teaches it on a regular basis. This “little book” quickly became a feminist classic. I have wanted to give it to the folk I love so that they can understand better this cause, this feminist politics I believe in so deeply, that is the foundation of my political life. “They are quick to tell me I am different,” she writes, “not like the ‘real’ feminists who hate men, who are angry.”Įvery time I leave one of these encounters, I want to have in my hand a little book so that I can say, read this book, and it will tell you what feminism is, what the movement is about … From the moment feminist thinking, politics, and practice changed my life, I have wanted this book. She begins with a story of how proud she is to talk to everyone she meets about feminism and how surprised people are when they hear what it’s all about. At the dawn of this new millennium, bell hooks published Feminism is for Everybody: Passionate Politics, a slim, bright-yellow book with a powerful goal: to introduce feminist politics in an accessible format in order to reach the widest possible audience. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Crank and glassIn the early days of graphite epoxy wing skins they were called "black aluminum" until the design technology and the fabrics and prepreg systems advanced to the point of taking advantage of the mechanical properties. Then they are bagged and cured in an autoclave under pressure, heat and a vacuum to pull out all the excess resin to eliminate unused weight and bulk. Then pre impregnated with the resin system that fits the application. The advantage of graphite/epoxy comes from the ability to align the graphite fibers in the direction that the mechanical properties are needed, such as unidirectional, woven fabric, etc. There are many variations of carbon fiber and many types of resins. Typically in the recreation products industry, graphite/epoxy is called "composites" and glass/resin is called "fiberglass" So a rod made from graphite fibers and glass fibers would be a composite but pretty useless unless both were impregnated (prepreg) or wetted out with a resin. Fiberglass isn't a composite until it is wet with a resin, Graphite isn't a composite until it is impregnated with a resin. One example of a composite rod is one made from graphite AND fiberglass.Ĭoncrete is a composite. Composite is not the same thing as fiberglass but it can be made of fiberglass.and something else. Composite is made of more than one material hence “compositeâ€. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Forever trilogy sandi lynnAfter she opens up and shows him her world, Connor starts to feel emotions and feelings he never knew existed.

But as Bosch gets closer to discovering the truth, he makes himself a target. With the secret help of his former LAPD partner Lucia Soto, he turns the investigation inside the police department. And not only does the prosecution seem to have a cast-iron case, but having crossed over to 'the dark side' as his former colleagues would put it, Bosch is in danger of betraying the very principles he's lived by his whole career.

Although it wasn't the way he wanted to go, Bosch has to admit that being out of the game has its benefits.
