![]() ![]() While the novel is a war story and these actions are to be expected, it lacks the intrigue and heart integral to readers’ investment. Jones’ meticulous attention to historical accuracy, however, comes at the expense of a cohesive storyline – the plot of “Essex Dogs” mainly describes soldiers drinking, cursing and fighting. From the cold cobblestone streets to the thundering sound of war drums, readers are instantly transported to the bloody chaos of medieval Europe. Given his background as a historian, Jones crafts an intricately developed setting that is clearly well-researched. Unfortunately, it instead opts for a poorly crafted story with a static cast of characters that readers will probably forget about mere hours after they turn the final page. The novel, which is set against the backdrop of the Hundred Years’ War, promises an action-packed historical adventure featuring larger-than-life personalities. 14, “Essex Dogs” follows a group of ten English mercenaries led by Loveday FitzTalbot that aids King Edward III in his invasion of France. ![]() Chivalry is dead in Dan Jones’ fiction debut. ![]() ![]() ![]() After a stint at The New Republic in 2014, she joined New York, where her reporting on the #MeToo movement has won sweeping acclaim. She started shaping her beat at Salon, where she reported on Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign, eventually turning her coverage into her first book, Big Girls Don’t Cry: The Election that Changed Everything for American Women, which explored the election through a feminist lens. Now a writer at New York magazine, Traister, 43, has covered the intersection of feminism and politics for more than a decade. She is angry, and her anger has consequences, and that makes her even angrier. She is angry, and she is a woman, and she knows that our culture dismisses female rage that it’s seen as hysterical, irrational, laughable. She is angry, and every day strangers criticize her rage, or tell her she sounds like a fool, or that attractive women should not get angry. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rapper Kendrick Lamar uses the line "If I should die before I wake" in the hook of the song 'The Relevant'.Blackbear uses the prayer "I pray the Lord my soul to keep" in his song " Do Re Mi".Rapper G-Eazy uses this prayer in his song " Me, Myself & I".Rapper Kid Cudi uses this prayer in the chorus of the song "The Prayer".Rapper Sean Combs uses this prayer in The Notorious B.I.G.'s song "Ready to Die", from his album of the same name.Rapper Snoop Dogg uses this prayer in his song " Murder Was the Case".Bob Dylan uses "I pray the Lord my soul to keep" in the song " Roll on John" (2012).American thrash metal band Metallica uses this prayer in the song " Enter Sandman".Final verse of Ron Miller's "Heaven Help Us All," first recorded and released by Stevie Wonder in 1970: "Now I lay me down before I go to sleep/ In a troubled world I pray the Lord to keep/ Keep hatred from the mighty/ And the mighty from the small/ Heaven help us all".American thrash metal band Megadeth uses this prayer in their song "Go to Hell". ![]() ![]() ![]() Because even things that we know are unattainable flutter within our grasp. Dawn is her favorite time of day, the moment right before sunrise. She collects things nature offers, like an unusual pinecone, colorful rocks, or an abandoned bird feather.

When she isn’t writing, Gerri and her longtime partner, Diane, can be found at their home in East Texas, where their vegetable garden, orchard, and five acres of woods keep them busy. Gerri’s love of nature and of being outdoors usually makes its way into her stories as her characters often find themselves in beautiful natural settings. Many more romances have followed, with the occasional murder mystery in the mix. Her first published work came in 2000 with One Summer Night. Gerri began writing lesbian romance as a way to amuse herself while snowed in one winter in the mountains of Colorado, and hasn’t looked back. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All three are important and the book walks you through step by step on how to increase the level of certainty within each one of those categories. The closer you get your prospect to a 10 in each category, the better your chances are of closing the sale. They trust you and trust that you will put THEIR needs first In our first takeaway, we have the concept of the three 10’sĪnd that breaks down each of these aspects and then on a scale of 1-10, how certain the prospect is within each aspect: Almost all of the other chapters work to build off of this. One of the first concepts Jordan goes over defines the foundation of the sale itself. The Wolf of Wall Street himself takes us through his legendary, thousand dollar plus, straight line persuasion system and gives us a crash course in it with examples. This book is easily one of, if not THE best, sales books I have ever read. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thierry has been bought for him and while Abdul owns him, he cannot guarantee that Saladin will spare Thierry’s life.In the spirit of acceptance and forgiveness, Thierry chastely kisses Abdul, hurtling them both into a clash of faiths and a contest of wills. As an advisor to Saladin, Abdul has been accepted by the Saracens and regarded with respect, but he will never be one of them. Stripped to his woolen leggings and linen shirt covering and tied like an animal to the pole of a tent, Thierry fears torture in the attempt to break him and his faith.Abdul Basir is French by birth and a convert to Islam.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Test of Faith written by Aleksandr Voinov which was published in November 30, 2009. ![]() Brief Summary of Book: Test of Faith by Aleksandr Voinov ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As particular post-colonial authors identify with marginalized Shakespearean characters and aim to amplify their conflicts from the perspective of a dominated culture, they interpret themes of race, gender, and colonialism in 'Othello' (1604), 'Antony and Cleopatra' (1608), and 'The Tempest' (1611) as explicit problems. What role did identification play in the motives, processes, and products of select post-colonial authors who "wrote back" to William Shakespeare and colonialism? How did post-colonial counter-discursive metatheatre function to make select post-colonial adaptations creative and critical texts? In answer to these questions, this dissertation proposes that counter-discursive metatheatre resituates post-colonial plays as criticism of Shakespeare's plays. ![]() ![]() Thompson goes far deeper, taking us close to some of the great programmers of our time, including the creators of Facebook's News Feed, Instagram, Google's cutting-edge AI, and more. ![]() In pop culture and media, the people who create the code that rules our world are regularly portrayed in hackneyed, simplified terms, as ciphers in hoodies. From acclaimed tech writer Clive Thompson comes a brilliant anthropological reckoning with the most powerful tribe in the world today, computer programmers, in a book that interrogates who they are, how they think, what qualifies as greatness in their world, and what should give us pause. When they make it hard or impossible, we do less of it. Programmers shape our everyday behavior: When they make something easy to do, we do more of it. We live in a world constructed of code-and coders are the ones who built it for us. ![]() Revolution on Twitter and romance on Tinder. ![]() ![]() ![]() I do worry about that term, however, for he is different in many ways. Cyril Wong is frequently described as a Confessional poet. ![]() A voice that is dead, yet alive, muses on lives that are dead on how people carry the dead inside themselves and struggle to move on. The resultant poems are haunting- elegiac, and here is another twist for the poems are elegies not for the dead but spoken by the dead. ![]() The framework for this volume is intriguing, a ghost returns (after a suicide) to reflect on life. Unmarked Treasure takes that as its starting point, but turns it inside outside, for this is a volume that searches for what is hard to to find, those precious truths that are well hidden inside the self: those qualities that are valid but not marked by an "X".
