![]() In the most famous of the conversion narratives in the "Ecclesiastical History" - that of Edwin of Northumbria - Bede begins by informing the reader that the "occasion of the conversion of this race was that Edwin became related to the kings of Kent, having married King Œthelberht's daughter Œthelburh." (Bertram Colgrave and R. A close examination of these episodes demonstrates Bede' s intense concern with how the drama of gender, status, and influence is enacted at the intersection of marriage and faith.

The setting is another great thing about this book. Of course, the high point of Ibbotson's characterization is that even Rocco, a horse, is so well-written that you come to sympathize with him. Zed - who comes in later in the story and helps Annika at a very crucial time in her life - is also a great character. Everyone from Lorelai, the snobbish girl living next door, to Ellie, who is just about the sweetest person anyone can imagine, to Pauline, the agoraphobic girl who is Annika's best friend - each and every character steals your heart. The other, secondary characters of this book are also great. Even in the first two or three chapters, you fall in love with this little grey-eyed girl who desperately wants a dog and who loves to act out the stories that she hears, and as the book continues you start to care more and more about her. She's a great heroine - she's simple, honest, extremely brave, kind and imaginative. ![]() Annika is one of the reasons to like this book. ![]() The Star of Kazan is the story of Annika - a young orphan girl in Vienna, who gets found and adopted by a servant and a housekeeper (Ellie and Sigrid) in the house of three eccentric professors. Eva Ibbotson is one of my favourite authors, and The Star of Kazan is, in my opinion, her best book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Casting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. ![]() From the first page to the last, this book is a manifesto for clear thought.”-Los Angeles Times How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science?

By the way! If you're interested in Native music, you ought to add Kalluk to your playlist. Sweetest Kulu is another great book from Inhabit Media. And for those of us who just need a book that rights the world for us, that reminds us of that world in all its richness. This is a terrific book for those who have a newborn in the house. In Kalluk's hands, this is not the stereotypical one-with-the-animals story that we see all too often. Kalluk's words and Neonakis's art work beautifully together as we learn Inuit values in which people and animals coexist as caretakers of the land. See the cover? The whole book is like that. The sense of peace and promise in Kalluk's book was just what I needed on a particularly trying day. The babe who is the sweetest kulu in this book is Inuit (Inuktitut is one of the languages spoken by Inuit people). Both meanings apply to Sweetest Kulu by Celina Kalluk, illustrated by Alexandria Neonakis. Sweet! Sometimes, that exclamation (Sweet!) means something is endearing, and sometimes, it means something is way cool. ![]() ![]() Where an individual does not have a BrokerCheck record, a record of the bar can be found in the summary in the FINRA Monthly Disciplinary Action Report.

Other than chapter breaks, there are no pauses between sections, which consistently created jarring transitions that required effort to figure out that we have left the previous section and started a new, virtually unrelated topic. Worse however - and this will sound like a quibble, but it was quite severe in its impact - is the audiobook's strange production when it comes to spacing between sections. I never quite grew accustomed to Boston's voice for this project, though his reading was clear and professional. ![]() I also found the recording to be lacking. The book's encyclopedic breadth was unfortunately matched with an encyclopedic writing style for much of the book. It's true, I now know a lot more about coffee, but I feel as though it was an enormous missed opportunity. A history of coffee should have been an utterly fascinating read, but I found it a chore to finish, despite my gnawing curiosity, owing to the book's lack of narrative flourish, themes, patterns, throughlines, and the other analysis and synthesis that makes great history books great. Huge props to the author's fine research and ambitious thoroughness. ![]() |
