His seer has prophesized that a Taggerung has been born, a legendary creature with extraordinary fighting skills - superior to all others in strength, fleetness of foot and stealth. ![]() But as young Tagg grows, he rebels against his destiny. Years ago, the vermin clan of Sawney Rath kidnapped one of Redwall’s own-a baby otter, destined to become their Taggerung, a warrior hero of ancient legend.

The story centers around one particular character, Punchinello, who has only ever received grey dots. Each Wemmick has a box of gold stars and a box of grey dots that they hand out throughout the day. ![]() Each and every day the Wemmicks do the same thing – they hand out stickers. Eli carves each and every wooden person yet he allows them all to look different and possess varying traits. In Max Lucado’s children’s book “You Are Special” Lucado creates an allegorical world full of wooden people called Wemmicks who live in a town where every single person is carved by a man named Eli. Imagine being branded and therefore being forced to wear the title of better than or less than. Imagine wearing the thoughts, feelings and judgements of others outwardly. The gold stars in fact are handed out to people who don’t have grey dots simply to award them for being better, while grey dots are given to anyone with no stars to remind them of what they lack. The gold stars are awarded to the best looking and most talented individuals while the grey dots are given to those whose looks are deemed unworthy and whose talents are seen as lacking in merit. Imagine living in a world where the social currency is gold stars and grey dots. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Estés has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Clarissa Pinkola Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories, many from her own traditions, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. For though the gifts of wildish nature belong to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * One million copies sold!

It was at that time that she met a young man tending counter at his father’s pharmacy, Hubert Horatio Humphrey. From 1931 to 1932, she attended classes at Huron College. Muriel Buck was raised in a Presbyterian home and was educated in public schools. ![]() Her father supported the family as a produce middleman, buying and selling such staples as cream, eggs, and poultry. Muriel Fay Buck was born on February 20, 1912, in Huron, South Dakota, to Andrew and Jessie May Buck. As only the second Minnesota woman ever to serve in Congress, Muriel Humphrey pursued her own interests during her brief tenure, supporting an extension of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) ratification deadline and advocating several programs to benefit people with developmental disabilities. When Senator Humphrey passed away in 1978, his political partner and adviser, Muriel, emerged to fill his seat and carry out his programs. The archetypical political wife, Muriel Humphrey supported her husband, Hubert Horatio Humphrey Jr., during a career that took him from being a clerk at his father’s pharmacy in North Dakota to a political powerbroker in the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party and national prominence in the Senate and, finally, as Vice President. ![]() ![]() ![]() Moore uses his trademark brand of confrontational, exasperated humor skillfully as he offers a primer on how to change the worldview of one's annoying conservative blowhard brother-in-law, and he crafts a surprisingly thorough "Draft Oprah for President" movement. But his book is intended to serve as a handbook for how people with liberal opinions (which is most of America, Moore contends, whether they call themselves "liberals" or not) can take back their country from the conservative forces in power. Bush and his fellow conservatives concerning the reasoning behind going to war in Iraq, the collapse of Enron and other companies, and the relationship between the Bushes, the Saudi Arabian government, and Osama bin Laden. ![]() Granted, Moore is angry and has harsh words for George W. But while plenty of liberal scholars, entertainers, and pundits have made similar arguments in book form, Moore's Dude, Where's My Country? stands out for its thoroughly positive perspective. ![]() Tricked, he says, by Republican lawmakers and their wealthy corporate pals who use a combination of concocted bogeymen and lies to stay rich and in control. The people of the United States, according to author and filmmaker Michael Moore (Bowling for Columbine, Stupid White Men), have been hoodwinked. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments Kurt stenn![]() ![]() ![]() Sales generated through the links to contribute to Society for Science & the Public’s programs. But throughout, Stenn manages to convey a sense of wonder for a seemingly mundane material so tough, so strong and so versatile that it can be used for virtually anything - even mopping oil from the sea.īuy this book from. These interludes are subtle highlights in a densely woven tale. He visits a wigmaker’s workshop in London, tours a modern barbering institute in Pennsylvania and learns about synthetic fibers at the laboratories of a Tokyo-based wig company. (The book could give readers a sure win for any hair category on Jeopardy!.) But Hair shines when Stenn steps out of the lab and into the world. ![]() Stenn roots his story in science, discussing evolution, development and disease, among other topics. A microhistory in the vein of Salt and Cod exploring the biological, evolutionary, and cultural history of one of the worlds most fascinating fibers. Hair conditioner, he explains, works by leaving positively charged molecules on strands, so that they repel each other rather than tangling together. Stenn details the molecular biology of hair, those packed piles of cells that push out of nearly every square inch of human skin (except for the palms, soles and a few other areas). In Hair, Kurt Stenn one of the world's foremost hair follicle experts takes readers on global journey through history, from fur merchant associations and sheep farms to medical clinics and patient support groups, to show the remarkable impact hair has had on human life. Stenn jams an encyclopedia’s worth of material into a mere 256 pages, all the while shedding facts like a golden retriever sheds fur. ![]() ![]() ![]() For the Soul Collectors are the monsters from your worst nightmares.

I personally, as a gigantic horror wuss, owe a debt of gratitude to this year's judges, particularly Hendrix, for their help writing summaries for all the list entries. One thing you won't see on the list is any work from this year's judges, Stephen Graham Jones, Ruthanna Emrys, Tananarive Due and Grady Hendrix. 100 Best Books Happy Ever After: 100 Swoon-Worthy Romances ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In hindsight, this makes perfect sense because my own writing leans in this direction and, as a reader, I’ve always loved historical fiction. If this is a wordy book that hardly qualifies as fantasy, then, Tolkien smite me, I will forever insult elves while wallowing in delicious word goodness. Reassured, and backed up by the belief that it would be good for me to read some of the bigger names in the genre that I hadn’t yet been exposed to, I cracked open my Kindle. However, when I remembered that my feeling toward this blurb can be universally applied to all blurbs, I found my backbone. At the same time, the blurb wasn’t exceptionally enticing. This seemed to require some attention, at least. ![]() Instead, they invoke the dreaded “wordy” label and comment on Kay’s lack of (gasp!) fantasy elements. Those who dislike Kay dislike him with fervor-but not the rabid kind that I can side-eye and brush off. I bought Al-Rassan with some trepidation. I know that Kay’s style isn’t for everyone. Now, if you have a problem with that, you can meet me outside in three minutes and I’ll introduce you to my wrath via a broken beer bottle, okay? too bad.Īl-Rassan was my first Guy Gavriel Kay.
