![]() ![]() Meanwhile, on the far side of the galaxy, a ruthless ruler waits in the shadows of the planet Xen Ptera, biding her time to exact revenge for the destruction of her people. When a routine mission goes awry, the all-girl crew’s resilience is tested as they find themselves in a most unfamiliar place: at the mercy of a sadistic bounty hunter connected to Andi’s past and a harrowing betrayal. To those aboard her fearsome glass starship the Maurader, she’s just Andi, their captain and protector. Most know Androma Racella as the Bloody Baroness: a powerful mercenary whose reign of terror stretches across the Mirabel Galaxy. ![]() There is darkness sweeping across the stars. ![]() It was over four months ago when I watched one of Sasha’s many Youtube videos about the anticipated release of her book Zenith – part 1 of the Androma saga – with Lindsay Cummings, the author of The Murder Complex, and I knew in that moment that when this novella was released I would need to get my virtual hands on it straight away. ![]() I have many favourites, but the person who really made me like watching BookTube has to be Sasha from ABookUtopia. My favourite videos to watch are silly make-up videos like this one from Wengie, where she does her make up entirely with lollies, and theories like this retelling of the Pixar Theory as told by the Super Carlin Brothers but my all-time favourite videos to watch are BookTuber videos. ![]() ![]() ![]() “‘Free men cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat. “‘The people don’t like to be conquered, sir, and so they will not be,’” he explains to Colonel Lanser. ![]() Mayor Orden, on the other hand, knows that the invaders will never be able to fully control his town because they haven’t won the faith and support of the townspeople. For example, when Colonel Lanser and his troops (the book’s Nazi equivalents) invade the unnamed town where the story takes place, they fail to understand that brute force won’t guarantee successful conquest. ![]() Written with the intention of giving hope to Nazi-occupied European nations toward the end of the Second World War, Steinbeck’s novella suggests that fascist invaders underestimate the power of democratic unity. In The Moon is Down, John Steinbeck celebrates the power of democracy by examining the ways in which a society built upon the principles of equality and fair governmental representation is capable of resisting the power of authoritarianism. ![]() ![]() ![]() Fats and oils give a fertile topic that allows many different approaches as a subject. Fats and oils, especially margarine are taken as the sample within the scope of this study. The study examines how an existing production and distribution network could be transformed and how an ordinary consumer is convinced to accept a new product. This dissertation study follows a transnational company into its penetration into a market in a new country. We have sought to balance breadth of entries with depth, selecting based on the influence of the entry on the ethical debate and analysis of human conduct in the production, distribution, preparation and consumption of food. Using short summaries, annotations and links this resource guides readers through the literatures addressing the ethics of food.Importantly, this resource does not attempt to provide an authoritative statement on particular issues, themes or debates but point readers to the relevant literature enabling independent inquiry. The purpose of this bibliography is to provide an internet-based resource for researchers, teachers, students and the public interested in the ethics of food. The multi-disciplinary nature of this literature has the potential to leave readers disoriented by the scope or unaware of relevant research occurring in unfamiliar disciplines. The literature analyzing the ethics of food production, distribution and consumption is continually growing and expanding. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's an undifferentiated blur now, but if I stop to focus on my DH Lawrence, the Lawrence of the 60s, I can begin to discern the fuzzy but recognisable outline of a literary aesthetic that was both persuasive and, for Lawrence at least, coherent. Adolescents had worn khaki in the 1940s, and flannel in the 50s, but we would dress like clowns. We would celebrate Dionysus, and we would be free. We would, as Lawrence put it, "break down those artificial conduits and canals through which we do so love to form our utterance". We, by contrast, would feel the blood thunder in our veins, become spontaneous and vital and instinctual. For readers who had grown up with JM Barrie, CS Lewis, Arthur Ransome, E Nesbit and all the repressed masters of post-Victorian children's literature, Lawrence seemed to offer the most exhilarating liberation. ![]() ![]() ![]() The text is supplemented with black-and-white reproductions of period documents and illustrations, modern location photos, and maps. The authors place his story into the context of antebellum America by examining how Northup’s memoir affected the national debate about slavery. The Fradins also discuss his ceaseless and often-dangerous efforts to prove his identity and reclaim his status as a free man and reunite with his wife and three children. ![]() They draw upon Northup’s 1853 memoir and their own research to describe his 12-year ordeal, from his fear and confusion when he awoke in a Washington, DC, slave market to his journey by ship to New Orleans to his brutal treatment at the hands of slave masters and overseers. Using a format similar to that of their 5000 Miles to Freedom (National Geographic, 2006), the Fradins tell the dramatic story of a free African American man from New York who was tricked, drugged, and sold into slavery in 1841. ![]() ![]() Lara Jean Chowdhury is a curious girl, with her neat clothing and mirror pendant necklace, but Cassidy feels an unexplainable connection to her. When she returns to The Lane’s End after the startling encounter, Cassidy meets the mysterious girl from the stairs. Schwab is the author of over 20 novels, including her Shades of Magic series and the best-selling adult fiction novel The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. ![]() Through Cassidy’s adventures in the world’s most haunted cities, Schwab creates a horror-edged fantasy that includes spine-tingling details but is accessible to a younger audience. The trilogy concludes with Bridge of Souls, set in the iconic city of New Orleans. Book Two, Tunnel of Bones, is set in Paris, France, and shows Cassidy exploring the city’s legendary catacombs, which hold more than 6 million skeletons. All the ghost stories told in the novel except the account of the Raven in Red are based on known tales. Schwab, who resides part-time in Edinburgh, includes a map in the front matter of the book that outlines the haunted locations in the city. City of Ghosts is set in Edinburgh, Scotland, and takes its title from the city’s nickname. ![]() City of Ghosts, published in 2018, is Victoria Schwab’s first middle-grade novel and the first in her Cassidy Blake trilogy, which follows the series’s namesake as she travels with her parents to the most haunted cities in the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This novella became the movie Stand By Me.įinally, a disgraced woman is determined to triumph over death in “The Breathing Method.” In “The Body,” four rambunctious young boys plunge through the façade of a small town and come face-to-face with life, death, and intimations of their own mortality.
