![]() (There are also literally always errors in traditionally published books if you look closely enough.) You might encounter some typos or grammatical errors, and to that I say: you can deal.

He shows how an originary nationalism born in the Americas was modularly adopted by popular movements in Europe, by the imperialist powers, and by the anti-imperialist resistances in Asia and Africa. In this widely acclaimed work, Benedict Anderson examines the creation and global spread of the 'imagined communities' of nationality.Īnderson explores the processes that created these communities: the territorialization of religious faiths, the decline of antique kingship, the interaction between capitalism and print, the development of vernacular languages-of-state, and changing conceptions of time. What makes people love and die for nations, as well as hate and kill in their name? While many studies have been written on nationalist political movements, the sense of nationality-the personal and cultural feeling of belonging to a nation-has not received proportionate attention. ![]() ![]() ![]() I honestly can’t remember the last time I was spooked while reading. I did not know what I was getting myself into when I picked this book up. All you need to know beforehand is that this doesn’t hold back from gore, it’s a dark twisted fairytale, and you should probably keep a light one while you’re reading. I highly recommend going into this story as blind as possible. ![]() With most books, I try to start them without knowing much about the plot. Through Verity, Annaleigh’s youngest sister, we learn about their deaths in very gruesome and grotesque detail. We learn quickly that a few of her sisters have already died, including their mother. The first chapter opens with the funeral of one of Annaleigh’s twelve sisters. It reminds me a lot of the real story of Cinderella, the version that is decidedly not told to children. This book, right off the bat, was a grim dark, twisted version of a fantasy retelling. I was caught like a fish, hook, line, and sinker. The synopsis included some of my favorite things: a castle on the coast (I can practically smell the salt air), princesses, and fairytales. ![]() The cover was so beautiful and intriguing I just had to know more about this book. ![]() I picked this book up from Target on a whim (during quarantine when I had to physically go into the store to pick up my prescriptions). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the flash of an eye the promising, carefree prospect of her twenties became a hellish ordeal. Jaouad discovered her cancer right after graduating from Princeton. ![]() It’s a cancer narrative that stands out on account of Jaouad’s youth, frankness, and writing chops, as well as the fact that the second half becomes a road-trip book. Starting with nonfiction, I enjoyed and was moved by Suleika Jaouad’s Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted. Along the way I ran across some new obsessions. Then, by pecking through recommendation lists and hopping from screen to screen, I was able to keep my library hold shelves reassuringly filled-staving off that dire malady known as Running Out of Something Good To Read. I got a wider shot at e-book availability by joining a second public library in the adjacent city. David Hockney, Nathan Swimming Los Angeles, 1982Ģ022 turned out to be a good reading year. ![]() ![]() ***Forever PUCKED is a followup to PUCKED (The Pucked Series Book 1), while it is not necessary to have read Pucked Up (Book 2) or Pucked Over (Book 3) it is highly recommended to that you read Pucked first. ![]() ![]() Or when Violet stops getting hives every time someone brings up the wedding, and their mothers stop colluding on stadium sized venues.

In addition, he has had an impressive journalistic career that has included editing Time magazine and heading the CNN television network. He has written two heavyweight biographies, about Benjamin Franklin and Henry Kissinger. ![]() Isaacson is eminently qualified to be the creator of such a work. There has been no shortage of books about Einstein, and many good ones, but this latest, in its sheer scope and size, will be hard to surpass as the definitive layperson-intelligible work on the subject. With this, his latest biographical work, American Walter Isaacson has achieved the unthinkable, producing 675 pages about a theoretical physicist that are not only readable but, more often than not, gripping. ![]() ![]() ![]() They then turn to the gospels, written after Paul's letters, followed by the general epistles and Revelation, explaining the background, critical issues, important teachings, and contemporary applications for each. Wright and Bird survey all of Paul's letters, providing a compact commentary on each, while explaining contemporary scholarly discussions on Paul and his teachings. The next section explores the life and theology of Paul, who continues to unfold the significance of Jesus' life and ministry, and applies these to the issues faced by the early churches. ![]() ![]() This is followed by an in-depth study of Jesus' inauguration of the kingdom of God through his life, ministry, death, and resurrection. Beginning with an overview of how to read the New Testament, the authors then survey its historical background to orient readers to the world of Jesus and the early church. Wright, along with prominent New Testament scholar Michael Bird, explores the history, literature, and theology of the New Testament with an emphasis on its relevance for Christians today. Wright draws on a lifetime of distinguished scholarship to provide a thorough overview of the New Testament for students, church leaders, and everyday Christians.

Navigation is as much an art-and a spiritual practice-as it is a science. Piailug demonstrated his profound skill for reading the night sky and the ocean swells and safely guided the massive ocean-going canoe from Hawaii to Tahiti. But the 1976 voyage of the Hōkūleʻa-guided by Micronesian navigator Pius “Mau” Piailug-resolved the debate. ![]() A most notable naysayer was ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl whose 1947 Kon Tiki raft expedition advanced the drift idea that colonization occurred only as vessels simply traveled on the tides. ![]() ![]() Skepticism over the validity of those navigational methods has long muddied the waters. Archaeological and linguistic evidence shows that navigators from Tahiti’s neighbor islands the Marquesas had settled the islands even earlier. When the Hōkūleʻa visits, Tahitians say, Maeva, a hoi mai, meaning “Welcome home.” There is a well-documented tradition of voyaging between the two island groups, and it is clear that in the 13th century, Tahitians used sophisticated navigational skills to travel the 2,500-mile distance and settle the Hawaiian Islands. As part of its three-year circumnavigation of the globe, the Hawaiian voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa arrived in Tahiti this summer on the first leg of its worldwide voyage. ![]() ![]() walks away from his mother Deana after years of abuse and moves from Seattle to Los Angeles in 1978.
