Have you experienced that situation with a book before? Influencing this was probably what I thought was a weak prologue and a rash of typographical and other mistakes in the text – it really needs proofreading – a surprise considering how long ago it was first published. I had the unusual situation when reading it of finding myself not being particularly keen to get round to it, but every time I did pick it up I found I couldn’t put it down for hours. The research to make it authentic must have been immense. What appealed to me was a work of historical fiction being set in a ‘present’ of the 1960s but pursuing the ghosts of the 1910s. My historical interests including the period which this book covers. I chose Past Caring as the first book because I am myself a trained historian. The story by and large chases down the who and why, dove tailing with the ghosts of the narrators own problematic life. Somebody conspired to ruin the career of this man, and possibly kill him. What seems to our narrator as a straight forward tale of one mans fall from grace rapidly takes on sinister notions. Past Caring tells the story of a down on his luck, divorced, history teacher being given the opportunity to research the background of a former Home Secretary in the Pre-WW1 Liberal cabinet. The first of the three books that I picked as part of the Transworld Crime Caper was Robert Goddards debut crime novel Past Caring.

But magic always has a price, and this magic brings nothing but trouble to Rump’s door. Suddenly caught up in the need to spin, Rump discovers he not only can spin, he can magically turn straw to gold with his spinning. Rump’s life on The Mountain is one of poverty and ridicule, until he discovers his mother’s old spinning wheel. (an awful thing to have happen in a place where your name is your destiny). His mother died before his full name was spoken aloud, and now he’s stuck being called Rump. She’s spun a full fledged middle grade adventure fantasy out this strange little tale, and provided readers with an entirely new perspective on Rumpelstiltskin. It’s a story that needs better representation–a good polishing and some better explanations.įortunately, Liesl Shurtliff is up to the challenge. And what on earth does Rumpelstiltskin even want with a child? Even the ending of this fairy tale is sudden and disturbing, with none of the usual happy ever afters. There’s the puzzling fact that a miller would ever claim his daughter could spin straw to gold, or that anyone would take him at his word. There’s no real hero, unless you count the servant that discovers Rumpelstiltskin’s name. This might be due in part to the fact that it is a strange little tale. This tale of greed and gold, of promises and lies tends get lost amid the princess and adventure tales. Let’s face it if you ask most individuals what their favorite fairy tale is, Rumpelstiltskin probably won’t be near the top.

He also wrote the vast majority of the descriptive " tech spec" biographies printed on the Transformers toy packages that Hasbro produced in the 1980s, giving each figure unique personality traits. He is responsible for much of the writing of the original Marvel Transformers comic, and conceived the names of most of the original Transformers, including Decepticon leader Megatron, Autobot medic Ratchet, Starscream, Sideswipe, and the Decepticon Ravage. Career īudiansky worked at Marvel Comics for approximately 20 years. His first published work was Superrunt - a comic strip collaboration with Charles "Sparky" Alzamora, published in the University at Buffalo newspaper The Spectrum while he was a student there. He was "reintroduced" to comics while in college during the early 1970s. He also created the Marvel character Sleepwalker and wrote all 33 issues of that comic.īudiansky was born in The Bronx, New York, where he attended public school, then went on to the State University of New York at Buffalo. Bob Budiansky ( / ˌ b uː d i ˈ æ n s k i/ born Ma) is an American comic book writer, editor, and penciller, best known for his work on Marvel's Transformers comic. It’s set in the Soviet Union about a MI-6 pilot that was shot down in Moscow, and he falls in love with a woman named Tsh. My dad says I was named after a protagonist in a book he read while my mom was pregnant with me. The quickest explanation for it is it was the 70s, and my parents were in an experimental mood (my brother was born five years later, in 1982, and they named him Josh, one of the most common names of the 80s). Hmm… I guess maybe the thing people don’t know about me is my name really and truly is spelled T-s-h on my birth certificate. A Longhorn graduate of the University of Texas, where she studied English and anthropology, Tsh currently lives just outside Austin, Texas with her family and eats tacos several times a week. Her writing has been featured in the Washington Post, CNN, Real Simple magazine, and more. Tsh is the author of Notes from a Blue Bike and Organized Simplicity, the founder of the community blog The Art of Simple, and the podcaster behind The Simple Show. So, let’s get this party started with the five-minute Tsh intro and then a little something not many people know about you! It felt like you wrote it for me! You can read a whole post with my take on the book and where I feel at home in the world here. I am so excited about your new book! As part of the Launch Team, I got to read it early, and I can honestly say that your memoir about your travels and the search for home spoke to me in so many ways. Hi Tsh! Thanks so much for joining us over on Notes on Bookmarks today. He is passionate about history, mythology and philosophy. The success of his debut book, The Immortals of Meluha (Book 1 of the Shiva Trilogy), encouraged him to give up a fourteen year old career in financial services to focus on writing. Unbelievable secrets will be revealed in this second book of the Shiva Trilogy, the sequel to the #1 national bestseller, The Immortals of Meluha.Īmish Tripathi is a 36-year-old, IIM (Kolkata) educated boring banker turned happy author. In a journey that will take him across the length and breadth of ancient India, Shiva searches for the truth in a land of deadly mysteries – only to find that nothing is what it seems.įierce battles will be fought. Unknown to Shiva, a master puppeteer is playing a grand game. Even the perfect empire, Meluha is riddled with a terrible secret in Maika, the city of births. The Vasudevs – Shiva’s philosopher guides – betray his unquestioning faith as they take the aid of the dark side. A kingdom is dying as it is held to ransom for a miracle drug. The evidence of the malevolent rise of evil is everywhere. His vengeance and the path to evil will lead him to the door of the Nagas, the serpent people. Shiva, the Tibetan immigrant who is the prophesied destroyer of evil, will not rest till he finds his demonic adversary. The sinister Naga warrior has killed his friend Brahaspati and now stalks his wife Sati. Today, He is a God. 4000 years ago, He was just a man. Her first novel, Arabian Jazz won the Oregon Book award for Literary Fiction and was a finalist for the PEN Hemingway Award. Her second novel, Crescent, won the PEN Center Award for Literary fiction and the American Book Award. Her novel, Origin was named one of the best books of the year by the LA Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the Washington Post. It was also named one of the top books of the year by National Public Radio, the Washington Post, and the Oregonian. Her novel, Birds Of Paradise, won the 2012 Arab-American National Book Award. Her young-adult novel, Silverworld, a fantasy with an Arab-American girl at its heart, was published last spring from Crown Books / Random House. Her family moved to Jordan a few times throughout her childhood, and elements of both her American and Jordanian experiences, as well as cross-cultural issues, especially culinary reflections, appear in her work.ĭiana Abu-Jaber’s culinary memoir, Life Without A Recipe, has been described as “a book of love, death, and cake.” Ruth Reichl calls it “bold and luscious” and “indispensable to anyone trying to forge their own truer path.” Called "outstanding" by the Washington Post, Diana's latest work, Fencing With the King, a novel of Middle Eastern intrigue and adventure, was featured by Apple books,, and The Millions as one of this spring’s most-anticipated novels.ĭiana was born in Syracuse, New York to an American mother and a Jordanian father. However, the characters in this book were the worst. You can give a terrible plot and subplot, but as long as you have good relatable characters that grow over time, I will love it. Okay, so let’s talk about the reason this book was not my favourite. It is normal and I still have every intention of reading many more Colleen Hoover books in the future. So it is understandable that I have found a format that I do not love. I mean I knew it would eventually happen as Colleen Hoover herself has said she writes very different styles and genres for every book. I hate to say it but this book did not grab my attention as all the others did. You follow their story for seven years, every November 9 different from the last. They meet and instantly feel a connection and agree to see each other every year on the same day. This book follows Fallon and Ben as they meet on the day Fallon is moving to the other side of the country. At higher orders in the series infinities emerged, making such computations meaningless and casting serious doubts on the internal consistency of the theory itself. However, further studies by Felix Bloch with Arnold Nordsieck, and Victor Weisskopf, in 19, revealed that such computations were reliable only at a first order of perturbation theory, a problem already pointed out by Robert Oppenheimer. In the following years, with contributions from Wolfgang Pauli, Eugene Wigner, Pascual Jordan, Werner Heisenberg and an elegant formulation of quantum electrodynamics by Enrico Fermi, physicists came to believe that, in principle, it would be possible to perform any computation for any physical process involving photons and charged particles. ĭirac described the quantization of the electromagnetic field as an ensemble of harmonic oscillators with the introduction of the concept of creation and annihilation operators of particles. The first formulation of a quantum theory describing radiation and matter interaction is attributed to British scientist Paul Dirac, who (during the 1920s) was able to compute the coefficient of spontaneous emission of an atom. |
