Species of Selenophoma on North American Grasses by Roderick Sprague, A. Studies in Botany Species of Selenophoma on North American Grasses No. Although it seems that we are doomed to be led by one party or the other in perpetuity, Two Tyrants argues that the right reforms could alter the course of our collective political destiny.Two Tyrants has quickly skyrocketed to become the go-to manifesto of 2016's disaffected American voter. Roderick Paperback, 110 Pages, Published 2014 by City Of Gold Publishing ISBN-13: 978-0-990, ISBN: 0-990 "Are you sick of Republicans and Democrats? Polls show that the vast majority of Americans are tired of the two party system and its trappings. Two Tyrants The Myth of a Two-Party Government and the Liberation of the American Voter by A. The book also tells how this work was directly related to Turing's leading role in breaking the German Enigma ciphers during World War II, a scientific triumph that was critical to Allied victory in the Atlantic. This classic biography of the founder of computer science, reissued on the centenary of his birth with a substantial new preface by the author, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life.Ī gripping story of mathematics, computers, cryptography, and homosexual persecution, Andrew Hodges's acclaimed book captures both the inner and outer drama of Turing's life.Hodges tells how Turing's revolutionary idea of 1936-the concept of a universal machine-laid the foundation for the modern computer and how Turing brought the idea to practical realization in 1945 with his electronic design. It’s only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades-all before his suicide at age forty-one. Inspired the Academy Award-nominated film, The Imitation Game Listed as one of the essential 50 books of all time in The Guardian One new challenge was going it alone, not as part of a wagon train. The Bucks tackled many of the same challenges faced by emigrants-broken wheels and axles, thunderstorms, forced marches to reach water, runaway mules. Regardless, the brothers sometimes got lost or sidetracked (the trail has many offshoots and optional routes, as was the case in its 19th-century heyday). Yes, in places highways and railroad tracks cover over the old trail, but it is well marked, and, Ricker writes, “Except for two bad stretches of suburban sprawl around Scottsbluff, Neb., and Boise, Idaho, most of the rest of the trail is still accessible along remote farm and ranch roads in the West.” Some original wagon ruts remain in western Nebraska and central Wyoming. But in 2011, unlike anyone in more than 100 years (since Ezra Meeker in 1910), he set out to travel the route in a covered wagon, along with his handy if eccentric brother Nick-who did most of the driving and repair work-a Jack Russell terrier named Olive Oyl and three draft mules with distinct personalities. Like many writers before him who became “rut nuts,” Rinker Buck became fascinated with the Oregon Trail and read most of the pioneer journals and old travel guides. The 2,200-mile emigrant wagon route from Missouri to Oregon remained a busy frontier highway from the 1830s until 1869 when work crews completed the first transcontinental railroad. The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey, by Rinker Buck, Simon & Schuster, New York, 2015, $28 So the experience of reading it is a little like having echoes of the past brought to life right around me. Just as interesting, though, are the glimpses of ordinary, day-to-day life on the range, even if much of that life does seem to have consisted of wandering around on foot looking for horses followed by wandering around on horses looking for cows.Īdding to the attraction of this book for me is the fact that the ranchland in question was about sixty miles west of where I am right now, and the town I live in gets a number of mentions. Agnes Morley Cleaveland did not particularly like the romantic mythologizing of the cowboy, but her life story nevertheless displays a lot of the exciting Wild West color that has made them such an icon in popular culture, including tales of cattle rustling, outlaws and gunfights.

(PDF Download) Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter Witch. I wasn't too sure about this book at first the writing struck me as unpolished and a little disjointed. A memoir about growing up on a New Mexico cattle ranch in the late 1800s and then watching that land and its way of life slowly changing in the early 20th century. A meritocratic system where shepherds could become generals, where incentives of leaders were aligned with the ruling Khan. In many ways, much of the successful businesses in modern times exemplify similar tactics to the Mongolian army in regards to a stoic way of living, speed, constant iteration, psychology, etc… not to mention how Genghis Khan built a decentralized military unit and nation where accountability resided on groups as no individual was above the community they were part of. The book not only goes into depth (as much as it could) on the history and philosophy of Genghis Khan but also the growth and transformation of an enterprising nation. A nation that morphed into a conglomerate. One that started as a formation of tribal nations that banded to form a competitive force that conquered and built a decentralized system. But another to learn about systems for effective government and organization. Though I was initially disappointed he did not read this particular version of the book, the voice actor was really good. He also spends part of his year up in New England, where he participates in Summer Stock. I'm not a blood and guts sort of girl, but these battles are fascinating to me.I've heard Mr Cornwell fo readings, and know that he is a skilled actor as well as a gifted writer. I remain amazed at Cornwell's amazing skill at depicting a battle, with accuracy and intricacy, holding this reader's interest for each slash and parry. This is no dry history book, but vibrates with earthiness that I have no doubt is grounded in reality of the time. While I never particularly really liked the main character, or any of the others, I still followed the story with great interest. You know it's been a first rate tour if your carriage is thus blessed.Cornwell once again brought the sights, smells, and sounds to life from the days of Alfred the Great, when the land was torn by war. In fact, carriage tour guides look forward to driving by his house, as he sometimes throws things from the windows as he creates his scenes. If you time it right, you can walk along one of our Charleston streets, and hear a madman ranting in an attic room - only it's not a madman, it's a literary wonder named Cornwell, ranting and raving in the creation of a scene for whatever novel he's working on. Bernard Cornwell lives part of his year here in Charleston. Moonlight Avenue ( Bella Books) is Hill’s latest mystery. ( The Target and Hunter’s Way are, like, wow!) (I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve read Gulf Breeze.) Her mystery/thrillers always keep me on the edge of my seat, wondering what will happen next. Her romances often become some of my comfort books and I’ll read them over and over to revel in happy feelings. She’s always moved so easily from genre to genre. Gerri Hill has long been a favorite author of mine. I realized that my favorite authors had been just publishing away and I hadn’t been keeping up. Recently, however, I have fallen into some of the newer 2019 releases. I’ve just been going back to some of my old, comfort books. And it isn’t because I haven’t been reading. Whew! It has been nearly 11 months since I’ve written a review. The result is this captivating collection of essays, sketches, and tales. During his sojourn, the writer became increasingly enamored of the grand palace and its wealth of history and folklore. Irving became a guest at the ancient fortress, where he found himself in the company of several colorful inhabitants. While researching a book on the conquest of Granada, he gained access to the Alhambra Palace, which had fallen into disrepair after years of neglect. Upon his 1829 arrival in Granada, Spain, American author Washington Irving was immediately charmed by the city's beauty and picturesque qualities. Officer Kippy Gimm was lovely in her relation to Mace's dogs, but her character wasn't as developed as I would've liked. From stereotypes (the constant reference to "lady cops" and the first victim being a drunk sorority alum leaving a wedding where she made out with a former "bestie's husband) to object of affection (Kippy Gimm being used as bait in an interview with a serial killer to get a rise out of his fixation) to nameless sources of evil (the Velvet Choker Killer's sister who is a series of photos on the wall and a sad story) and finally as motivation for male characters to prove their masculinity (rescuing a helpless female victim who is overpowered by another, stronger masculine figure). However, some things I did not care for, primarily the treatment of female characters. |
