![]() ![]() This is the best memoir I've read in years."- Judith Minthorn Stacy, author of Maggie Sweet, winner of the Carolina Novel Award"The book is about.

Her graceful, exacting language rises above the grief of infertility and the struggle to care for aging parents, connecting the reader ultimately to the heartbeat and resilience of the human experience. The voice in Ann's memoir has been called constant and abiding, her imagery indelible. The author's devotion to her family and her horse Crimson sustain her as her mother's illness progresses and her own window of potential motherhood begins to close. Ann's foundation is shaken when she experiences multiple miscarriages at the same time her mother spirals into Alzheimer's.

In 2006, they made their first USA public debut at Anime Expo in Anaheim, California. ![]() Ohkawa and Igarashi, wanting to go with the flow of Nekoi's and Mokona's name changes, changed their names as well. In a later interview with Ohkawa, it was revealed that initially Mokona wanted to drop her surname because it sounded too immature for her liking, while Nekoi disliked people commenting that her name was the same as Mick Jagger's. The August 2004 issue of Newtype USA, a magazine specializing in events of the anime and manga subcultures, reported that the members of CLAMP simply wanted to try out new names. In 2004, CLAMP's 15th anniversary as a mangaka group, the members changed their names from Nanase Ohkawa, Mokona Apapa, Mick Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi to Ageha Ohkawa, Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi and Satsuki Igarashi (her name is pronounced the same, but written with different characters) respectively. Currently, there are four members in the group. ![]() Other former members of CLAMP also included Soushi Hishika, O-Kyon, Kazue Nakamori, Yuzuru Inoue and Shinya Ōmi. Of the remaining seven, Tamayo Akiyama, Sei Nanao, and Leeza Sei left the group during the production of the RG Veda manga. CLAMP originally began in 1989 as a twelve-member dōjinshi circle, but by 1990, the circle had diminished from twelve to seven. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Landrieu is surprised to see the history he did not know celebrated in a landscape he did not see. ![]() Viewed from this perspective, Landrieu’s book is above all an account of the surprise of discovery: his surprise at discovering this hidden regime’s history and his surprise at its continuing political power. But this outgoing regime-unlike the communists in East Berlin or the baathists in Baghdad-is one that is hidden in plain sight and may not be outgoing at all. It seems reasonable, then, to consider that the current struggle to remove Confederate monuments is symbolic of a struggle to change a regime here in the United States of America. Statues of Lenin fell across Eastern Europe during the revolutions of 1989 and statues of Saddam Hussein tumbled in Iraq after the US invasion in 2003. Pulling down statues symbolizes regime change. Mitch Landrieu’s book, In the Shadow of Statues, is the backstory of the speech he gave as mayor of New Orleans on May 19, 2017, following his removal of three Confederate statues-Lee, Davis, and Beauregard-from the city.

![]() ![]() Anyone who has been sitting on the edge of their seats waiting anxiously for Dutch and Patel will absolutely love this story but know its painful and so very much worth the wait.ĭutch and Patel have a very long history. She doesn’t pull any punches and that is exactly why Avril fans love her so much. Keep that in mind but I think any true Avril fan knows, she’s a pretty “savage” writer. I mean good GOD…I was all up in this story, salivating from page to page. There’s only the inevitable.Īnd again….Avril Ashton kills it with her men. But Dutch should’ve known that in the lonely hours, Patel would come for him.Īnd when that time arrives, there’s no saying no. He won’t ever know the memory of them keeps Dutch fighting in his bleakest moments. If it were up to Dutch, Patel won’t ever know the bargains struck in his name.

Machiavelli had not turned against Christ to worship Apollo. ![]() of Christianity, for Europe’s political incoherence. The Discourses is not an argument for the superiority of Roman ways over those of contemporary Europe, as may appear from Machiavelli’s praise for Rome’s religion and indictment of “the Roman Church,” i.e. The book’s relationship to Roman history-and indeed to the events of Machiavelli’s own time-is tangential. The format is a series of observations apparently chosen almost at random. It is covered on high, low, and intermediate levels of specificity. The subject is nothing less than what makes for successful states and individuals, as well as for success in war. Unlike The Prince, the chapters are written plainly, headlined in Italian rather than in Latin, and addressed to persons he deems sympathetic to those teachings. Consisting of three books, of sixty, thirty-three, and forty-nine chapters respectively, the Discourses contains the bulk of Machiavelli’s teachings. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Over the years, I’ve been so lucky to work with and learn from amazing authors like Brian Jacques ( Redwall), Jane Yolen, Anika Denise, Phyllis Root, and Rosemary Wells.
