![]() ![]() ![]() One thing we often do with narratives of sexual assault is sort their respective parties into different temporalities: it seems we are interested in perpetrators’ futures and victims’ pasts. ![]() As more and more stories of sexual assault have been made public in the last two years, the genre of their telling has exploded.

![]() ![]() Paul Hawken and the nonprofit Regeneration Organization are launching a series of initiatives to accompany the book, including a streaming video series, curriculum, podcasts, teaching videos, and climate action software. This means we must address current human needs, not future existential threats, real as they are, with initiatives that include but go well beyond solar, electric vehicles, and tree planting to include such solutions as the fifteen-minute city, bioregions, azolla fern, food localization, fire ecology, decommodification, forests as farms, and the number one solution for the world: electrifying everything. Regeneration describes how an inclusive movement can engage the majority of humanity to save the world from the threat of global warming, with climate solutions that directly serve our children, the poor, and the excluded. It is the first book to describe and define the burgeoning regeneration movement spreading rapidly throughout the world. ![]() Regeneration offers a visionary new approach to climate change, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, equity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation.

She writes historical fiction set in the English Regency period and contemporary romantic suspense. Gayle has since written 34 books and 3 novellas for Harlequin. That first book sold to Harlequin Historicals and became a RITA finalist for Best First Book in 1995. As an English and history teacher, it was probably inevitable that she try her hand at writing a historical romance in her "spare" time. She was always, however, a compulsive romance reader who loved to escape the stresses of modern life by retreating into a good book. ![]() She was too busy being a teacher of gifted children, a wife, and a mother. Six-time RITA finalist and RITA award-winner Gayle Wilson never dreamed of becoming a romance novelist. ![]() ![]() ![]() Since then, Gisele has appeared on more than 1,000 covers around the globe, in approximately 450 fashion shows, and in multinational campaigns for the biggest fashion and beauty brands. The following year, she was chosen for the cover of American Vogue, shot by Steven Meisel, and lauded as “the return of the sexy model” with her bronzed, athletic beauty defying late-’90s grunge. The same year, Gisele secured her first British Voguecover, and swiftly became the most in-demand cover girl of her generation. Gisele was just 18 when she made her breakthrough in the S/S 1998 ready-to-wear “Rain” show of Alexander McQueen, who chose “The Body” thanks to her ability to walk in towering heels on a slippery runway. This book celebrates her 20-year milestone in the industry with a unique and spectacular collection of jaw-dropping glamour and intimate, personal insights. Born in the Brazilian countryside, and nearly six feet tall by the age of 14, Gisele Bündchen grew from humble roots into the most successful supermodel in the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the short story, published in the literary magazine The White Review back in 2016, Connell and Marianne are now 23, and their complicated romance is still very much intact. And while Rooney hasn’t envisaged a full sequel, it turns out the writer penned a short story following her beloved characters later on in life, titled At The Clinic. ![]() We were last faced with Connell leaving Marianne behind in Dublin to move to New York for a graduate writer’s programme. Deluging our TLs with memes, hot takes and thirsty stans (for an indication, IG fan account Connell’s Chain is 136,700 followers deep, and counting).Īnd while most of us have been in mourning following the show’s finale, we’ve thankfully now just received another fix from author Sally Rooney – who has revealed the next part in our protagonists’ story. Following the phenomenal success of the BBC adaptation, it’s all that has occupied our feeble lockdown brains for the last month. ![]() ![]() ![]() The story is told to readers in two parts through diary entries of Ronald Carpenter and Dr. But the company takes him prisoner so that they can test the unbelievable speed it has given him more fully. Fascinated with the prospect, he willingly gets the company’s help to try the procedure upon himself. Nigel Hunter whose experiment in an Eclipse lab looks like it could enable incredible movement powers. The rest half of the book I finished next morning which contains the account of Dr. By the time I paused to take a break, I had read 50% of the novella and it was well past midnight. ![]() But after just a few pages, I was swept in the story of former zookeeper, Ronald Carpenter who now (or later) worked as some kind of security head guy for The Eclipse, a nefarious company involved in tons of evil testing experiments on living subjects. ![]() I started ‘The Illumination Query (The Speed of Darkness)’ by Sarah Baethge quite late in the night, not expecting much partially because I’m not a very keen sci-fi fan, and also because the cover of the book looked so drab. ![]() ![]() That’s one of several plot devices that, for me, required a suspension of disbelief. ![]() Yes, somehow the dinosaurs had never colonized North America. The location they choose is across the ocean from all their previous cities. The cold blooded intelligent dinosaurs are looking for a new place to establish one of their organic mega-cities because one of the established cities, built all of living, bio-engineered trees and other plants, is dying as the climate cools. West of Eden takes place at the onset of an ice age. In the case of West of Eden, it’s a much bolder premise: What if the dinosaurs didn’t go extinct, but instead evolved into intelligent beings? In the case of Auel, the species is the Neanderthal. ![]() ![]() Both carry the reader into hypothetical worlds occupied by stone-age humans and a significant antagonist species. West of Eden was first published in 1984, just a few years after Jean Auel’s ‘Clan of the Cave Bear’, and there are similarities in the ‘feel’ of the two books. I gravitated to it because of its extensive world building. West of Eden is one of Harry Harrison’s more notable works of science fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() sortTitle Completely Clementine lexileScore 720 crossRefId 2180581 series Clementine publisher Recorded Books, Inc. Most clementines are grown in China, though Spain, Morocco, and California are famous for growing them as well. They are grown on a hybrid variety of mandarin citrus trees that originated in either China or Algeria. I had a wonderful time wrapping up the storylines of all the characters I've become so fond of. Clementines are small oranges that are seedless, easy to peel, andwhen well grown and ripeperfectly sweet to eat, too. (Neither do I! I had a lump in my throat all the time I was writing the book - I am going to miss this girl and her family so much!) Luckily there are some new beginnings in the book, too, and lots of funny Clementine moments. Besides that, she has to deal with the end of the school year and all the goodbyes she must say - Clementine does N-O-T, not like saying goodbye.
