![]() ![]() Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. ![]() Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can’t remember exactly when the question took root, but the answer was in full bloom the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club.Īmerica in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. It was about two women, and they fell in love with each other.” And then Lily asked the question that had taken root in her, that was even now unfurling its leaves and demanding to be shown the sun: “Have you ever heard of such a thing?” This did not affect my overall opinion of the book.Īcclaimed author of Ash Malinda Lo returns with her most personal and ambitious novel yet, a gripping story of love and duty set in San Francisco’s Chinatown during the Red Scare. *Huge thanks to PRH International and NetGalley for my free e-arc. ![]() Genre : Historical Fiction, YA Contemporary, LGBTQIA+ Publisher : Dutton Books for Young Readers ![]()

![]() ![]() This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and. ![]() The Black Reaper (coll 19) reassembles some of his best work. The Project Gutenberg eBook of The mill of silence, by Bernard Edward Joseph Capes. At a Winter's Fire (coll 1899) includes "Moon Stricken" (December 1896 Cornhill Magazine), in which a strange telescope gives its user sight of terrible events on the Moon "Jack the Skipper" in Loaves and Fishes (coll 1906) describes the Invention of an underwater suit whose wearer, mistaken for a Monster, terrifies London in "Bullet Proof" in Bag an Baggage (coll 1913), another "crank" demonstrates his own Weapon, the bullet-proof Bugsley Vacuum Jacket. Capes's first novel under his own name, The Mill of Silence ( 1897), is a complex supernatural tale, incorporating ghosts and hints of legendary upwellings. (1854-1918) UK author, active from the late 1880s, initially writing as by Bevis Cane, his first novel, The Haunted Tower ( 1888), being under that name. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So, the bottom line is, I really want more of this series, because there's a lot that I don't know, that I need to know. ![]() I do hope that there's a bit more backstory on so many of the characters as we move on, because it just helps with really experiencing the story rather than being distracted by everything flying at my face. The way he was with his daughter really tugged on the heartstrings, as Hades has never been known to love outside himself & Persephone in everything I've read and/or watched movie wise. Diane portrayed him, which was different than any other book I've read having him starring in it. Hades was a complicated fellow, and I loved how Ms. And while I really love it when the actions starts, in this case, it took me a bit to figure out all the players, as there were a LOT of them with the lightning quick pace. It was hard to get in to at first, as it seemed really slow, then out of nowhere, it picked up big time. It was a good story with a lot of potential for great as the series moves on. Leah Diane is a new to me author, so I wasn't sure what to expect when starting Hades. ![]() ![]() ![]() Although she lived under heavy surveillance during Duvalier's dictatorship, Vieux-Chauvet persisted as a writer, hosting meetings of the Les Araignées du Soir (Evening Spiders), a group of poets and writers of which she was the only female. Vieux-Chauvet's works focus on class, race, women, family structure and the upheaval of Haitian political, economic and social society during the United States occupation of Haiti and dictatorship of François Duvalier. ![]() She later married Pierre Chauvet, a travel agent. She married Aymon Charlier, a doctor, then divorced him. Marie completed her studies at the l'Annexe de l'École Normale d'Institutrices and obtained a degree in elementary education in 1933. Marie Vieux-Chauvet was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on September 16, 1916, to Constant Vieux, a Haitian politician, and his wife Delia Nones, a woman originally from the Virgin Islands. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Widowed and childless in 1861, Pember took the post of matron at the Confederate Army's Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. Daughter of a Jewish merchant of Charleston who moved his family to Savannah in the 1850s, she sought ways to help the Southern cause-but she broke all stereotypes by the character and length of her service. In many ways Phoebe Yates Pember (1823–1913) was a representative upper-class gentlewoman. Long an important source in Confederate history, A Southern Woman's Story is also a valuable book for students and scholars of women's history and the social history of the Civil War. First published in 1879, the book chronicles Phoebe Pember's experiences as matron of the Confederate Chimborazo Hospital from November 1862 until the fall of Richmond in April 1865. ![]() Phoebe Yates Pember's A Southern Woman's Story is the inaugural volume in the University of South Carolina Press's new paperback series, American Civil War Classics. ![]() ![]() ![]() Born in 1930, at the tail end of the Harlem Renaissance, she strove to join the ranks of the outsized talents surrounding her: Sonny (“Saxophone Colossus”) Rollins, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Romare Beardon, Duke Ellington and Jacob Lawrence to name just a few. The title of the piece, now on display in Faith Ringgold: An American Artist at the Crocker Art Museum, comes from fantasies the artist entertained as a child on the roof of her family home in the affluent Sugar Hill neighborhood of Harlem. ![]() ![]() “I will always remember when the stars fell down around me and lifted me up above George Washington Bridge,” writes painter/activist Faith Ringgold in the opening stanza of her signature “story quilt,” Tar Beach # 2 (1990).

An exceptional work of excavation, synthesis, and storytelling, Nixonland derives its power partly from its resonance.” “ cements reputation as a gifted and discerning historian. “Perlstein is a fine writer with a well-developed capacity for seeing irony and absurdity his storytelling skills make this an absorbing book, full of surprising details.” “A ’s a great gift for somebody who really likes the dark side of politics.” ![]() With a firm grasp on the larger meaning of countless events and personalities, many of them long forgotten, Perlstein superbly shows how paranoia and innuendo flowed into the mainstream of American politics after 1968, creating divisive passions that have survived for decades.” “Rick Perlstein’s Nixonland digs deep into a decisive period of our history and brings back a past that is all the scarier for its intense humanity. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Rick Perlstein has written a fascinating account of the rise of Richard Nixon and a persuasive argument that this angry, toxic man will always be part of the American landscape.” “ Nixonland is a grand historical epic.This riveting book, full of colorful detail and great characters, brings back to life an astonishing era-and shines a new light on our own.” ![]() ![]() ![]() The many subtleties of postulates are never spelled out. For example, the Schrödinger equation specialized to the position space is given from the get-go with the motivation that it is the quantum equivalence of Newton's equation of motion, which is true, but not really helpful a child may be familiar with the notion of forces, but not Hamiltonians and complex amplitudes. ![]() The formalism is not developed logically, and, overall, the book is very weak in formalism. The author takes the shut-up-and-calculate approach to the extreme (like how standard freshman physics textbooks present QM). This is not helped by the fact that the book shies away from the math of QM: linear algebra and the concise Dirac notation, which is introduced but quickly discarded. ![]() The bad: While a step by step calculation makes it easy to follow, one often gets lost in details and misses the big picture. For example, Griffiths takes his time to explain standard deviations, separation of variables, and phase and group velocity in the beginning. Update (05/15/16): tl dr: I would give this book more stars if it is titled "Introduction to Wave Mechanics."įirst, the good: this book doesn't require mastery of "advanced" classical physics and math such as Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, electromagnetism, partial differential equations, linear algebra, or statistics. ![]() ![]() Largely unnoticed by her squabbling captors, Briseis remains in the Greek encampment. And, in these empty, restless days, the hierarchies that held them together begin to fray, old feuds resurface and new suspicions fester. The gods have been offended - the body of Priam lies desecrated, unburied - and so the victors remain in limbo, camped in the shadow of the city they destroyed, pacing at the edge of an unobliging sea. All they need is a good wind to lift their sails.īut the wind does not come. They can return home victors, loaded with their spoils: their stolen gold, stolen weapons, stolen women. ![]() ![]() ![]() Following her bestselling, critically acclaimed The Silence of the Girls, Pat Barker continues her extraordinary retelling of one of our greatest myths. ![]() |
