![]() ![]() Karnow's book, intended as a companion volume to the 13-part PBS television documentary on Vietnam premiering this week, takes the long view, beginning with the French involvement in the 18th century and continuing through both the First Indochina War between France and the Vietminh and the Second Indochina War between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. This objectivity continues with the most recent books on Vietnam- former Time-Life and Washington Post war correspondent Stanley Karnow's Vietnam: A History, and former Baltimore Sun war correspondent Arnold Isaac's Without Honor. Not caught up in the violent emotions that swept American college campuses and the intellectual community, tempered by their first-hand experiences and observations, journalists furnished some of the least biased and most objective works on that tragic period. ONE OF THE ANOMALIES of Vietnam literature is that during the war the most sensational and overwrought "yellow journalism" came from academia rather than the media.

He returned to France in 1917, and briefly attended a college prep school in Paris before attempting to enter the naval academy. Receiving his early education at Catholic schools in France, Saint-Exupéry was sent away to a boarding school in Switzerland after the outbreak of World War I. Saint-Exupéry enjoyed a mostly carefree and privileged life, and in 1912, he took his first trip in an airplane-an experience that would have a profound and lasting impression on him. His father died when he was a young boy, and his mother moved him and his four siblings to a relative’s château in the east. ![]() Early LifeĪntoine de Saint-Exupéry was born into an aristocratic family in Lyon, France, on June 29, 1900. His adventures as a pilot would supply the inspiration for all of his literary endeavors, which culminated with the 1943 publication of the classic The Little Prince. He received his pilot’s wings during his compulsory military service in 1922, around which time he also began to write. Raised in an aristocratic family, he fell in love with aviation at an early age after took his first airplane ride at the age of 12. ![]() (1900-1944) Who Was Antoine de Saint-Exupéry?Īntoine de Saint-Exupéry was a French writer, aviator, poet and author. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shadow and Bone friends, I just wanna say that we appreciate you all so much. “Don’t know our odds of renewal, or when we’ll know, but I want YOU to know, we know you did everything you could.

By beginning with the most recent period, the Miocene, and progressing backwards until the very earliest, the Ediacaran, Halliday brings deep time’s primordial soup to life. Structured between 16 geologic periods, Halliday's book takes readers back in time through the millions of years predating our present. Thousands of scientists over hundreds of years have contributed to Halliday’s reconstructions of the past based on the paleontological irony of death being the primary way of understanding life. ![]() ![]() Thomas Halliday ventures into the vastness of this predicament in his book “Otherlands: Journeys in Earth’s Extinct Ecosystems,” a compendium on Earth’s sprawling origins. If there is one uncertainty that has persisted since the beginning of time, it’s our planet’s impermanence. “Otherlands: Journeys in Earth's Extinct Ecosystems,” by Thomas Halliday (Random House) ![]() ![]() "Civil Disobedience" was included in the Riverside Edition of 1894 (in Miscellanies, the tenth volume), in the Walden and Manuscript Editions of 1906 (in Cape Cod and Miscellanies, the fourth volume), and in the Princeton Edition (in Reform Papers, the third volume) in 1973. The essay formed part of Anti-Slavery and Reform Papers as edited by British Thoreau biographer Henry S. It was included (as "Civil Disobedience") in Thoreau's A Yankee in Canada, with Anti-Slavery and Reform Papers, published in Boston in 1866 by Ticknor and Fields, and reprinted many times. Having spent one night in jail in July of 1846 for refusal to pay his poll tax in protest against slavery and the Mexican War, Thoreau lectured before the Concord Lyceum in January of 1848 on the subject "On the Relation of the Individual to the State." The lecture was published under the title "Resistance to Civil Government" in Elizabeth Peabody's Aesthetic Papers, in May 1849. ![]()

The Prologue of the book indicates that it is a historical account of the events, written by an author named Neil Adam Armon. The letters indicate that the Cataclysm remade the world into one run by women, where men are seen as the “nurturing” and “gentle” sex and where men are discriminated against and sexualized and oppressed. The epilogue takes place thousands of years later as the writer of this historical account defends his description of the events though a series of letters. The book ends as a destructive world war is about to start, known as the Cataclysm. ![]() Meanwhile, opposition to the women mounts as well and various factions are vying for power. As their power increases, they begin to oppress men in similar ways to how women were previously oppressed and mistreated. It results in revolts in countries where women have been oppressed, and in more women taking over positions of power. The two-paragraph version of this is: The Power is framed as a historical account of a period in history where women discovered they have the power to shoot electric jolts of energy from their hands, making them very dangerous. ![]() ![]() ![]() If this had been my first introduction to Marsh I am not sure I would have kept going, but being as it is the 6th book in the series (which I read in order), I kept reading. The characters in this story are also harder to like, even the ones who reappear and I like much better later in the series. I much prefer James Saxon and I have a harder time staying engaged with her reading. ![]() The biggest issue for me though is that I am not a huge fan of Nadia May's narration of this series. The plot of this one runs from slow to medium but is well constructed if a bit overdramatic for my tastes. I have read and/or listened to many of the books multiple times. I first started reading this series based on a recommendation for Agatha Christie fans and I have been hooked ever since. ![]() Overall this book is a nice classic mystery and fans of this age of mystery will enjoy it. I highly encourage the audience to read or listen to this series in order to avoid confusion and often characters re-appear in later books. This is not my favorite book in the series, but it is an important one to help establish background for later ones. Not the best, but can't be missed in the series ![]() |
