The lost apothecary book5/13/2023 The city seethes with sexist sins against women, and yet, the women and girls who navigate their worlds turn out to be tenacious and brilliant. I was predisposed to love The Lost Apothecary, a novel that toggles between past and present, where the lives of women are woven together to recreate history.ġ8th-century London: Penner had me at the apothecary itself, a kind of reliquary where poisons are sold by the mysterious Nella to women who seek revenge on the oppressive men in their lives. Different storylines recede, others come forward, statues topple, new voices and bodies that were once repressed emerge. I’m obsessed with history, but not history as a set of events locked in and legitimized by a set of dates in time and space I am obsessed with history because it is alive. Let’s face it, I’m the kind of reader who thrills in time travel. Game of Stars by Sayantani DasGupta5/13/2023 However, things are a lot less clear than the last time she was in the Kingdom Beyond.

After all, it's been weeks since she last heard from her friends in the Kingdom Beyond, the alternate dimension where she was born as an Indian princess. When the Demon Queen shows up in her bedroom, smelling of acid and surrounded by evil-looking bees, twelve-year-old Kiranmala is uninterested. The sequel to the critically acclaimed debut-fantasy The Serpent's Secret! Love and friendship jane austen book5/13/2023 Sir James makes his generous host, Lord Charles Vernon of Churchill, remark that such conduct is interesting because it presents a “different angle on things.”īut both Austen’s novella and Stillman’s movie focus much more on the machinations of Lady Susan, so much so that the title for the film could be “Manners & Machinations.” It’s also evident in his being flustered upon arrival at Churchill, since he can’t see a church or a hill. That’s indeed an apt description of Sir James (Tom Bennett), who is prone to play with green peas on his plate and wonders what to call them. “I like that word, ‘rattle,’ ” Stillman says, “and I think we should bring it back.” The word means that “you can hear his brain rattling around in his head - a person who makes a lot of noise without making much sense,” Stillman says. When Sir James is introduced to us, the description under his portraiture says, “a bit of a rattle.” In fact, he fleshes out characters and adds amusing layers to minor players, primarily Sir James Martin, a silly-but-rich eligible bachelor. If this were something other than an Austen novel and a Stillman movie, you might expect that Lady Susan would face much scorn, with rumors of unseemly conduct spreading throughout the drawing rooms of England’s lords and ladies.īut Lady Susan is wily, and Stillman makes sure that viewers don’t think she’s terrible. Although this book is written for Acadia National Park, it includes a significant portion of the plants you’ll encounter in New England. The Plants of Acadia National Park is hands down the most valuable resource for plant identification in the Acadia region and greater Maine. An extensive glossary elucidates botanical terminology using simple language. The setup of the guide also helps readers to learn plant families, which is really a prerequisite to being comfortable with genus and species ID. This contribution reports a total of 521 names, 389 representing additions to the flora of Rio Abiseo National Park and surrounding areas in northeastern Peru. Each of the 862 plant species include a description with emphasis on identifying characters, plus distribution, commonality, and habitat information. It begins with keys that use simple leaf and flower characters to guide you to the correct family, and from there, a rich array of photographs make it easy to spot the species of interest. Now, thanks to Glen and his team, ANYONE can use this book to put a name to the plants they discover. Prior to its release, tools for distinguishing between tricky plant species were only accessible to botanists who knew how to use terminology-heavy illustration-devoid dichotomous keys. This is hands down the most valuable resource for plant identification in the Acadia region and beyond.

Nick Harkaway’s most ambitious novel yet. While I haven’t read Nick Harkaway’s previous novels, Gnomon is a bright and extraordinary example of this sort of work.

Flatland dimensions5/13/2023 Any legislator knows as much about human reproduction as your greatest obstetrician. Why bother with other dimensions, when a slogan will do just as well? Keep it simple.

Whether paper-thin or digital, money seems comfortable, not like the numbers scientists come up with to show how we're destroying our one and only home. These two-dimensional characters flourish in the realm of money, where every big businessman has his angle. If Abbott wrote today, the Squares in Flatland would be watching cable news on television screens-which, like them, are flat. Characters look like something out of your 10th-grade geometry class. In a rather famous old story called "Flatland" (Edwin Abbott, 1884), there are only two dimensions. This is how it always is novel5/13/2023 And families with secrets don’t get to keep them forever.
