His often quoted phrase " the best which has been thought and said" comes from the Preface to Culture and Anarchy: He further wrote that: " seeks to do away with classes to make the best that has been thought and known in the world current everywhere to make all men live in an atmosphere of sweetness and light ". Īrnold's famous piece of writing on culture established his High Victorian cultural agenda which remained dominant in debate from the 1860s until the 1950s.Īccording to his view advanced in the book, "Culture is a study of perfection". Culture and Anarchy: An Essay in Political and Social Criticism is a series of periodical essays by Matthew Arnold, first published in Cornhill Magazine 1867–68 and collected as a book in 1869.

Sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape-shifter, Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, a brave but terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beast's most recent slaughter. Roland tells a tale from his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt-ridden year following his mother's death. This Russian doll of a novel, a story within a story within a story, visits Roland and his ka-tet as a ferocious, frigid storm halts their progress along the Path of the Beam. The Wind Through the Keyhole is a sparkling contribution to the series that can be placed between Dark Tower IV and Dark Tower V. In his New York Times bestselling The Wind Through the Keyhole, Stephen King returns to the spectacular territory of the Dark Tower fantasy saga to tell a story about gunslinger Roland Deschain in his early days. This work contains BDSM elements/themes, spanking, bondage, anal play, and a bossy, persistent Greek vampire. As my friend, Ricki, likes to say, “Be careful what you wish for because it might come and bite you on the ass.” I hate it when she’s right. Now, all I want is my calm, normal life back. And I’m caught in the middle, between the vampire I’m falling in love with and a group that wants to create a vampire dictatorship, with humans as slaves. To make matters worse, there are plans in motion to change the place vampires hold in the human world. Then, there’s the fact that the whole drinking blood thing gives me the heebie jeebies. Unfortunately, to be with him, I would have to give up my humanity and I like being human. He’s tall, dark, and handsome and manages to give me tingles in all the right place and also make me laugh. In fact, some of them are downright sexy.Īlexander Dimitriades has it all. Secondly, I learned not all vampires are evil. Sounds crazy, right? My best friend, Donna, became one of the fanged after that little adventure and hooked up with a hot, Scottish vampire named Conner. In the last six months, I’ve learned things that would get me committed to an asylum if I repeated them. Then my entire existence was turned upside down. I resigned myself to the rut I was stuck in. Here’s a first look at what to expect in Poison Ivy: Thorns. DC shared the following illustrations with Bookstacked. You can catch some of Kipin’s work on display below.

It’s spooky, it’s romantic, and it’s full of drama. “Getting to write a story about her in one of my favorite genres (gothic romance), brought to life by the amazing art of Sara Kipin, is just a dream come true in so many ways. “Poison Ivy has been my favorite comic book character since I was a little girl,” Keplinger told DC. Keplinger is teaming up with artist Sara Kipin to tell the story. The book will focus on a teenage Pamela Isley as she falls for a goth girl named Alice Oh while hiding a dark family secret on behalf of her father. Poison Ivy is one of DC’s most iconic villains, and now YA author Kody Keplinger ( The DUFF) is taking a crack at the complex character in the upcoming graphic novel, Poison Ivy: Thorns.ĭC revealed first details about the graphic novel this week, toting the story as a gothic LGBTQ+ romance that will hit shelves just in time for Pride Month on June 1, 2021. Obviously, it's time for Stevie to do something stupid. This is too much for the parents and administrators. Somewhere in this place of riddles and puzzles there must be answers.Then another accident occurs as a massive storm heads toward Vermont. The missing Alice Ellingham and the missing David Eastman. Stevie is sure that somehow-somehow-all these things connect. Not only has someone died in town, but David disappeared of his own free will and is up to something. With this latest tragedy, it's hard to concentrate on the past. The greatest case of the century.At least, she thinks she has. All at the exact moment of Stevie's greatest triumph. All three in the wrong place at the wrong time. And now, an accident in Burlington has claimed another life. One, a victim of either a prank gone wrong or a murder. New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson delivers the witty and pulse-pounding conclusion to the Truly Devious series as Stevie Bell solves the mystery that has haunted Ellingham Academy for over 75 years.Ellingham Academy must be cursed. “A highly charismatic and engaging story.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “ Missing, Presumed has future BBC miniseries written all over it.” - Redbook Detective Bradshaw’s biting wit is a bonus.” - The Wall Street Journal one of the most ambitious police procedurals of the year. “An extraordinarily assured police procedural in the tradition of Ruth Rendell and Elizabeth George.” -Joseph Finder, author of The Fixer NAMED ONE OF THE 10 BEST MYSTERIES OF THE YEAR BY THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR A page-turning mystery that brings to life a complex and strong-willed detective assigned to a high-risk missing persons case.A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice This book essentially details his plan to reduce the carbon footprint from 51 billion tonnes today to zero by 2050. In his own words, achieving net-zero by 2050 is a hard challenge. His writing exudes urgency and intent to get started on curbing carbon emissions. Gates deserves praise for deciphering the technicalities of carbon neutrality and for fashioning a book that anyone with any background can read and understand. Global warming is likely to reach 1.5☌ between 20 if it continues to increase at the current rate.Īn increase of 1.5☌ does not exactly sound intimidating, but it can inflict irreversible damage to our planet’s ecosystems. In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – a body whose data Gates frequently cites in the book – presented a report presented to the UN on Global Warming. I will come to that in a while, but first things first. That said, the fact that Bill Gates is at the helm does impinge on some of the content matter in the book. It reveals a lot about how the world governments are poised to take on the challenge. It is a great primer for anyone who seeks to upgrade his knowledge on Global warming and Carbon neutrality. Bill Gates’ new book How to Avoid a Climate Disaster is informative and engrossing. As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.
