Number 13 by M.G. Wells6/29/2023 The gaunt man with the scarred lip was the first to speak. But the three men looked neither east nor west, but only steadfastly across the valley. And westward the valley opened until a distant darkness under the sky told where the forests began. Its purple distances melted at last into the bluish slopes of the further hills-hills it might be of a greener kind-and above them, invisibly supported, and seeming indeed to hang in the blue, were the snow-clad summits of mountains-that grew larger and bolder to the northwestward as the sides of the valley drew together. It spread remoter and remoter, with only a few clusters of sere thorn bushes here and there, and the dim suggestions of some now waterless ravine to break its desolation of yellow grass. The difficult and winding trench of pebbles along which they had tracked the fugitives for so long expanded to a broad slope, and with a common impulse the three men left the trail, and rode to a little eminence set with olive-dun trees, and there halted, the two others, as became them, a little behind the man with the silver-studded bridle.įor a space they scanned the great expanse below them with eager eyes. Towards mid-day the three pursuers came abruptly round a bend in the torrent bed upon the sight of a very broad and spacious valley. “We live in a world of unused and misapplied knowledge and skill.” Main Body 13 The Valley of the Spiders by H.

Ashes to ashes by jenny han6/29/2023 Why did she wait so long for revenge? Why don’t Lillia and Kat try harder to find her or discuss the strange things they’re noticing, and how do they suddenly become expert spell-casters when it’s time to fight back? This trilogy has had readers pondering the differences between a read so bad it’s good and one that is merely lamentably bad. Once again, readers will wonder, what is going on with Mary Zane? What’s going on is she’s dead, and she has been all along, her spirit trapped on Jar Island and bent on exacting vengeance against Reeve, whom she blames for her suicide years ago. Once again, the not-so-well-laid plans of ritzy (but good-hearted!) Lillia Cho and rough-around-the-edges (but good-hearted!) Kat DeBrassio will go awry. Once again, readers will find themselves on Jar Island, off the coast of Massachusetts, in the company of (mostly) moneyed youth with little more to do than foment drama among themselves. Supernatural and real-life drama collide in a revenge fantasy run amok. Holiday romance catherine walsh6/29/2023 Molly is a lawyer and Andrew is a photographer and their lifestyles couldn’t be more opposite. What follows is a zany flight plan that has them seeing each other outside of the friend zone for the first time. It doesn’t bother Molly that much but for Andrew, being home for Christmas means everything so she’ll do whatever it takes to get them home. This yearly trek has become sort of a tradition but now, ten years later, a sudden snowstorm grounds their flight and threatens to wreck their plans. Her family lives in Dublin and his in Cork and they first met ten years ago when he was dating her awful friend who broke up with him while she was sitting next to him on their first flight together (a complete coincidence). Molly Kinsella and Andrew Fitzpatrick are friends who only see each other once a year when they both travel from Chicago back to their native homeland in Ireland for Christmas. Fish-Hair Woman by Merlinda Bobis6/29/2023 Pressure changes as in a hydraulic network? Volatile chemicals? A likely candidate that Sheldrake highlights are electrical impulses. Mycelium communicates this information across its network with surprising rapidity, though how is still open for debate. When it finds something to digest, hyphae leading there grow more numerous, while those leading nowhere are pruned. 58).Īnd while there is no “brain”, no centre of control, mycelium somehow communicates information through its network. Like water, “ mycelium decants itself into its surroundings” (p. These amorphous, shape-shifting entities have no fixed shape. Hyphae can branch and fuse, exploring in all directions simultaneously. Mycelial fungi are maze dwellers, probing the underground world in search of resources. Mycelium is “ better not thought of as a thing, but as a process-an exploratory, irregular tendency” (p. Leave it to Sheldrake to dissolve boundaries and make you rethink everything you thought you knew about living organisms. Here, they form mycelium: networks of fine, tubular cells called hyphae. Most of what a fungus does happens underground. However, they are only the above-ground fruiting bodies that serve to disperse fungal spores. Say “fungus” and most people will think of mushrooms.

A fistful of shells6/29/2023 Over time, the relationship between Africa and Europe revolved ever more around the trade in slaves, damaging Africas relative political and economic power as the terms of monetary exchange shifted drastically in Europes favour. It reconstructs the world of kingdoms whose existence (like those of Europe) revolved around warfare, taxation, trade, diplomacy, complex religious beliefs, royal display and extravagance, and the production of art. Toby Greens groundbreaking new book transforms our view of West and West-Central Africa. Until at least 1650, this was a trade of equals, using a variety of currencies - most importantly shells: the cowrie shells imported from the Maldives, and the nzimbu shells imported from Brazil. Its gold had fuelled the economies of Europe and Islamic world since around 1000, and its sophisticated kingdoms had traded with Europeans along the coasts from Senegal down to Angola since the fifteenth century.

John gardner beowulf6/29/2023 Just like how Jesus trusted God’s decision knowing that Judas will betray him. Essentially, people may know their destiny and look to seek it, even if it is undesirable. Just as God graces people with unique attributes such as intelligence and a conscience which we draw upon to decide what is right from wrong. Beowulf willingly goes to face the dragon as his final battle. We are all made uniquely with a variety of different characteristics. Just like how God gave Samson his strength through his hair, it is said by the priests that Beowulf was blessed by God with the arm strength of thirty men. Death, what all men are fated with, is not a decision made by man, but an unalterable driving force controlled by the forces of fate and destiny. In the poem, Beowulf by a still unknown author destiny plays a key role in distinguishing who Beowulf is.
