Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as "biological nutrients" that safely re-enter the environment or as "technical nutrients" that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being "downcycled" into low-grade uses (as most "recyclables" now are). Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural world? In fact, why not take nature itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective hence, "waste equals food" is the first principle the book sets forth. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism "Reduce, reuse, recycle" urge environmentalists in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage.

Letta’s job is to collect words and dole them out to people who need them. “A love letter to the ways love and art can lift our spirits and replenish our souls in a world that often seems dark. The Wordsmith, Patricia Forde Ark is a place of tally sticks, rationed food and shared shoes, where art and music are banned, language is severely restricted and outcasts are thrown to the wolves. “A love letter to the ways love and art can lift our spirits and replenish our souls in a world that often seems dark.” -BookPage Pair with Patrick Ness’ The Knife of Never Letting Go.” -Booklist “Forde’s exploration of language as both weapon and savior is a noble one, and environmental undertones bolster its power. “This novel could be compared Jeanne DuPrau’s The City of Ember (Random House, 2003) where the corrupt government controls the necessities of life.” -School Library Connection " well-crafted page-turner, as well as a compelling commentary on censorship and the role of language." -School Library Journal “An electric sci-fi novel with a strong ecological and moral stance.” -The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “An intriguing speculation about authoritarian futures with a terrific cover.” -Kirkus Reviews Ē018 Best Children's Books of the Year (Bank Street College of Education).Ē018 Notable Children's Books for Older Readers (ALA).

Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation Truss, Lynne on. In her book, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance. Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 03:03:11 Boxid IA40141804 Camera USB PTP Class Camera Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier Andrew Hasson Lynne Truss, writer, journalist and advocate of proper punctuation, has come to rescue us from the misplaced comma. His poem speaks about the internal emotions he has with God. Oh let thy sacrifice be mine, and sanctify this altar to be thine” (14-16). Herbert writes: “That, if I chance to hold my peace, these stones to praise thee may not cease. We know this because he uses the first person narrative in lines 14-16. Here, Herbert is building a sacrifice that is pleasing before God-an altar made of broken material, but the brokenness is from the soul, and the altar and offerings are of himself. The altar Herbert is making to God in this poem is also made of “broken” material, not actually out of stone, but it is “Made of a heart, and cemented with tears”(2). He is using the broken altar as a metaphor for the heart and how one should sacrifice and offer himself to the lord. This here is an example of the metaphysical conceit. This very quote gives the reference to building a relationship with God and it is given away in the poem that the altar is actually the human heart. He states “… Made of heart, and cemented with tears/As the hand thy framed No workman’s tool hath touched the same”(1-5). In Lines 1-4, Herbert announces in his poem his intention to build an altar to the Lord. The poems structure is in an AABB rhyme scheme and has many metaphors. In The Temple, the opening poem is titled The Altar and the very shape of the poem suggests an altar of worship. Architectural imagery takes place in a number of Herbert’s poetry. We see the use of these rhyme schemes in The Altar and Easter Wings. Jane was born the same week that the zombies-known as “shamblers”-first rose from their graves. When Dread Nation opens, we meet the smart, fiery, impulsive Jane McKeene, who’s been training for years at Miss Preston’s School of Combat for Negro Girls. “War is horrible enough because you’ve just lost someone, but there’s a whole new level of trauma when your dead friend is trying to eat your face.” The Battle of Gettysburg, which resulted in the largest number of casualties in the entire Civil War, “seemed like the perfect terrible moment for things to get even worse,” says Ireland. Ireland is speaking from her home in York, Pennsylvania, about an hour from both Gettysburg and the city of Baltimore, where her third novel, an artful blend of alternate history and horror titled Dread Nation, takes place. The only difference is that you’re defending yourself from your neighbor rather than a ravaging horde.” “And the Civil War did the same thing historically-derailed everything. “My brain works in concentric circles, and I always think of zombies as leading to upheaval and change, as signaling the end of an era and the beginning of a new one,” Ireland says. For Justina Ireland, the dark history of the American Civil War and the fantastical concept of zombies aren’t nearly as far apart as most people think.

Image: Marvel Comics Think of it as part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers. Hell, it’s what Avengers: Endgame wished it could be.Įach Monday, while the comics industry takes a bit of a break, we’re looking back at some of the stand out moments in comic history. But here’s the thing - and know that this is coming from someone with DC Comics lore running in their veins - Secret Wars is what Crisis on Infinite Earths wishes it could be. Secret Wars evokes the granddaddy of all event comics, DC Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths, with a promise of universal armageddon and the mashing up of different parallel earths. The project set me on a riveting path to Secret Wars, and it’s where you should go, too. Some months ago I decided to read Hickman’s older Marvel work, starting with his run on the Fantastic Four, which bleeds into his Avengers series. Secret Wars was about what happened next. But before Hickman did that, he told a three-year story about Marvel’s greatest heroes compromising their morality to save the universe - and failing anyway. Last summer, House of X/Powers of X, a galaxy brain sci-fi superhero series from writer Jonathan Hickman and numerous collaborators, rocked the comics world. Now, through this gift from Iron Mountain’s Living Legacy Initiative – the company’s commitment to preserve and make accessible cultural and historical information – over 1,100 items that make up 4,900 pages of Ryan’s collection related to D-Day will be digitized, including many of those first-hand eyewitness accounts like this one from Private First Class Richard Cator of the 101st Airborne Division: Cornelius Ryan, a World War II war correspondent and best-selling author, solicited first-hand accounts of civilians and military personnel from the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany, for use in his best-selling books, like “The Longest Day.” In 1981, Ryan’s collection of primary source materials, a sought-after resource worldwide, was donated to Ohio University Libraries. Jmarks the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the 1944 invasion of Normandy. Alden Library, will begin with the D-Day Collection of Ryan’s records containing first-hand accounts and recollections of both military and civilian participants of the battle from across the world. The project, provided as a gift-in-kind service in support of Ohio University’s Vernon R. Iron Mountain today announced the start of a three-part digitization project of documents from world-renowned war correspondent Cornelius Ryan. The Masters of the Dead, necromancers who can control vampires, and the Pack, a paramilitary clan of shapechangers, blame each other for a series of bizarre killings-and the death of Kate’s guardian may be part of the same mystery. But when Kate’s guardian is murdered, her quest for justice draws her into a power struggle between two strong factions within Atlanta’s magic circles. Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up these magical problems. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it arose, leaving all kinds of paranormal problems in its wake. When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. Ilona Andrews invites you to experience the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series featuring the intriguing fantasy world of mercenary Kate Daniels… How will Carlitos support his mother? Carlitos wants to help but he cannot think of a way until his teacher, Miss Lopez, explains in class how her own grandfather had fought for better wages for farmworkers when he first came to the United States. She and the other janitors have decided to go on strike. One night, his mam explains that she can't make enough money to support him and his abuelita the way they need unless she makes more money as a janitor. When she comes home, she waves Carlitos off to school before she goes to sleep. Every night, he sleeps while his mother cleans in one of the skyscrapers in downtown L.A. It tells about Carlitos, whose mother is a janitor. S, Se Puede / Yes, We Can is a bilingual fictional story set against the backdrop of the successful janitors' strike in Los Angeles in 2000.
