Most levels are between 2' and 14' thick, or roughly 1,000 to 7,000 years in age duration. Resource search-core drills collectively show strata that changes from limestone (ocean floor) to sandstone (land erosion buildup) to shale (Shallow sea), and hard rock (granites, etc.) then back again. Many periods are much shorter, some are longer, and a very few are quite long. The geologic column shows the average static or calm periods that are between catastrophes to average about 7,000 years. In this book, I am expecting to prove via catastrophic ocean rise, the geologic column, deep core drills, ice core samples, varve layers, and other readings, that the Earth experiences major and cataclysmic catastrophes including dipole exchange on an irregular short term basis.

Okay, so that's obvious, but what is just as obvious is that Miller's Batman work has had a major impact on Batman COMIC BOOKS, as well, and likely an even LARGER impact than he has had on the films, really, just in terms of sheer volume. The impact is obvious in the major live action comic book movies that we have seen over the past thirty plus years, from Tim Burton to Christopher Nolan to Zack Snyder to Matt Reeves, the Frank Miller influence is obvious in their work (Nolan and Snyder each more or less adapted a large chunk of a major Miller work, with Nolan's Batman Begins being a Year One riff and Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice being a Dark Knight Returns riff, with some imagery literally taken directly from the original Miller comic, like Snyder did with an earlier film based on a Miller comic, 300). In Comic Book Questions Answered, I answer whatever questions you folks might have about comic books (feel free to e-mail questions to me at don't need me to tell you that the comic book work of Frank Miller from The Dark Knight Returns and Year One (the former working with inker Klaus Janson and colorist Lynn Varley and the latter working with penciler/inker David Mazzucchelli and colorist Richmond Lewis, who was mainly a painter but was convinced by Mazzucchelli to color a few of his projects from the era and she was magnificent) were highly influential. Today, we look at when Frank Miller's Batman work first became a distinct influence on other Batman comic books. In short, its publication created a minor scandal and helped precipitate the crisis of anthropological conscience that anticipated the postmodern turn in the discipline. In unmasking his personal weaknesses and prejudices it appeared to give the lie to his professional image as an empathetic fieldworker whose methodological slogan was ‘participant observation’. With its moral struggles, its Dostoevskian moods, its Conradian allusions, its Freudian subtext of mother-love and frustrated sexual desire, its misanthropic and racist outbursts, the Diary abundantly revealed some unpleasant aspects of Malinowski’s character. It would become the most infamous, most nakedly honest document in the annals of social anthropology. Against his daughters’ wishes, however, and to the dismay of many colleagues who had heard rumours of its controversial contents, his widow published a translation under the title A Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term (Routledge 1967). Written in Polish, it is clear that he had not intended it for publication. This diary, along with several others, was discovered in his Yale University office after his death. With these words, written on 18 July 1918, Polish-born Bronislaw Malinowski abruptly ended the intimate diary that he kept during his final stint of fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands of eastern New Guinea. And I was stuck in the middle, devouring their connection and cheering from the sidelines. And she was interested but burned by an ex and didn't want anything to do with a bad boy snowboarder. He was interested but played it cool and not looking for more than a hookup. Fantastic chemistry between the main characters, a crew that was endearing and charming, and a main character that was SWOONY!!!įrom the first moment they met, Chase and Brooke had chemistry. It had everything I love about a sports romance. And OMG the sex scenes were SCORCHING HOT!!!!īut what it was most of all, it was emotionally gripping.Īnd the writing was superbly. RIDE was a bit of an angsty and emotional rollercoaster ride which held me captive until an amazing ending, another thing I adored about this book, the author took her time to give her readers an amazing conclusion. With more than 400 pages this book is filled to the brim with amazing scenes dedicated to snowboarding as well as sports photography. I honestly didn't want to put it down.įor me a great sports romance focuses on the relationship but also on the sport. Has all the FEELS, and was addicting from beginning to end. It doesn't feel like a debut novel at all. At least two people recommended RIDE to me, and since it was on KU I downloaded it right away. So, last week I had this post on IG, talking about my most favorite sports romances and asking at the same time for recommendations. This is the story of how it all came to be…and how it all ended. He created Rapture-the shining city below the sea.īut as we all know, this utopia suffered a great tragedy. And so he set out to create the impossible, a utopia free from government, censorship, and moral restrictions on science-where what you give is what you get. That man is Andrew Ryan, and he believed that great men and women deserve better. There are a variety of voices, accents, ages, and classes. America's sense of freedom is diminishing…and many are desperate to take that freedom back.Īmong them is a great dreamer, an immigrant who pulled himself from the depths of poverty to become one of the wealthiest and admired men in the world. John Shirley does an extraordinary job of tying these diaries together into a novel that really fleshes out the story of Rapture. Bioshock Rapture by John Shirley, Jeffrey Kafer (Narrator) Published by Tantor Media Jeffrey Kafer did a spectacular job narrating. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business has many watching their backs. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has brought a fear of total annihilation. FDR's New Deal has redefined American politics. How the majesty of Rapture, the shining city below the sea, became an instant dystopia The prequel story to the award-winning and bestselling video game franchise. Certainly the bar-girl is now a very familiar figure in the English language paperbacks for sale at Phuket and Bangkok airports, and Burdett, an English former lawyer who now lives in the Far East, has returned to the theme in his new book. When, asked our hostess, is someone going to write about Thailand without having a bar-girl in the story? She was referring, of course, to Thailand as seen through western eyes. The issue of "the bar-girl in Thai literature" cropped up at a dinner party in Bangkok earlier this year. That's what's got them so hung up." Nong's theme and, one feels, the author's, is that prostitution is less exploitative than a sweat-shop and that Thai bar-girls are free spirits who make their own choices and have a different, less repressed attitude to sex than the uptight, joyless, hypocritical west. In the sex trade we see a true redistribution of global wealth from west to east. Bangkok 8 contains a number of defences of the bar-girl life, concluding with this from Nong: "Western women can't handle it that their men get a better time over here. Bar-girls, brothels and sex are very much a part of both that first book and the new one, Bangkok Tattoo, not least because Sonchai's own mother, Nong, was a bar-girl and our hero is the result of a brief union with one of her American clients. One day his beautiful and tender-hearted sister, Gwennie, falls in love. Naef grew up despising himself, and throughout his life he has refused to look in a mirror. His only saviours were his mother and sister. In his little fishing village he grew up tormented and teased, abused and violated by the villagers. He has a club foot, twisted spine, too-big teeth and walks with a limp. It is a very different type of M/M erotica and *utterly* brilliant. ‘Truth in the Dark’ is a Dreamspinner e-book by Amy Lane. In one moment of magic, he is given the body of his dreams-and he discovers that where flesh meets spirit and appearance meet reality, sometimes the only place to find truth is in the darkness of a lover’s arms. Knife is unprepared for the form the island’s curse takes on his own misshapen body. Aerie-Smith offers Gwen a trousseau and some hope, if only Knife will keep him company on his island for the span of a year and perform one “regrettable task” at year’s end. Aerie-Smith has been cursed to walk upright in the form of a beast, and his beloved village suffers from the same spell. Her suitor’s cousin offers him a way out, but it won’t be easy. When Gwennie is obliged to turn a suitor down because she fears to leave her brother to the brutality of their village, Knife is desperate for anything to ensure her happiness.
