Mystery at Olympia
|
Review ‘Deliciously convoluted . . . an old-fashioned thriller and none the worse for that.’Barry Turner, Daily Mail ‘This is Mr Rhode at his best – and you know how baffling he can be.’Daily Herald ‘He must hold the record for the invention of ingenious ways of taking life.’Sunday Times ‘Readers know well what to expect from John Rhode, and in this story they will not be disappointed . . . The tale is neat and clear and logical, and there are no loose ends.’Times Literary Supplement ‘Mystery at Olympia by John Rhode is, of course, admirably pieced together. One expects that or Mr Rhode; but it also marks an advance in the psychological treatment of his characters.’Illustrated London News ‘John Rhode well deserves his reputation as a constructor of almost flawless detective story plots. To read any of his tales is a very agreeable intellectual exercise.’DAILY MAIL --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition. About the Author John Rhode was a pseudonym for the author Cecil John Charles Street (1884–1964), who also wrote as Miles Burton and Cecil Waye. Having served in the British Army as an artillery officer during the First World War, rising to the rank of Major, he began writing non-fiction before turning to detective fiction, and produced four novels a year for thirty-seven years. The Sunday Times said ‘he must hold the record for the invention of ingenious forms of murder’, and the Times Literary Supplement described him as ‘standing in the front rank of those who write detective fiction’. Rhode’s first series novel, The Paddington Mystery (1925), introduced Dr Lancelot Priestley, who went on to appear in 72 novels, many for Collins Crime Club. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

The Evacuation (The Thirties)
|
About the Author William Doyle's early-life draws distinct parallels with Michelle Magorian's fictional novel Goodnight Mister Tom, even in so much as the character names. Following his evacuation, William settled in rural Hertfordshire with his foster parents Thomas and Elizabeth Hunt, and planted his roots by marrying a local girl. He was a hard worker with countless jobs throughout his working life to provide for his family, always with a positive attitude and a humorous glint in his eye. Reading and writing didn't come easy for William growing up in the 30's and 40's with bad hearing, poor eyesight and little patience from teachers in those days. This was in stark contrast to his storytelling abilities and incredible memory for detail. William wrote poems and fictional stories throughout his adult life but it wasn't until a request came in from his granddaughter in 2003, that he began to reflect on his early years and his first book 'A Social History of My Times' was written, providing an insight into the life of a kid in London in the 30's. William's second book 'The Evacuation' takes readers on the next stage of William's journey out of London and into rural Hertfordshire. William lives in Hemel Hempstead to this day, with a loving family that extends to New Zealand - including his wife Pauline, two children, six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Unzipped Souls - A Jazz Journey Through the Soviet union
|
From Booklist A combination of travelogue and musicology, Unzipped Souls chronicles jazz in the Soviet Union just as glasnost began and the nation began to break apart. Minor's odyssey took him to destinations that included the First Moscow International Jazz Festival and such comparatively remote places as the Georgian city of Tbilisi. Valuable for Minor's interviews with some of the region's most important players and entertaining because of its warm-hearted descriptions of his often humorous adventures, the book also shows that Minor is a respectful critic who does not let his enthusiasm about new musical territory cloud his judgments. Since he keenly understands Russian culture, too, he continually makes astute cultural connections, for example in comparing modern Russia's avant-garde jazz players of the 1980s to its 1920s absurdist authors. Regardless of whether American readers are familiar with some of Minor's favorites, such as pianists Sergei Kurokhin and Igor Bril, they will benefit from reading these musicians and their colleagues' insights into their unique musical landscape.

Uncle Tom's Cabin, with eBook (Tantor Unabridged Classics)
|
Review "Allen masterfully elicits an array of Southern dialects for Stowe's variety of characters. His thoughtful, engaged performance creates a memorable audio experience." ---AudioFile About the Author American author Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an ardent critic of slavery and the author of the international bestseller Uncle Tom's Cabin.Richard Allen is a five-time Audie-nominated narrator whose work has been acknowledged on the Best Audiobooks Lists for Audiofile and Library Journal. From AudioFile Stowe may have intended UNCLE TOM'S CABIN to be a political statement, but she also created an unforgettable story. In telling the story of the honest slave Tom, she vividly brings the hardships of slavery before the listener. Richard Allen lends his expert narration to this classic. In a deep, friendly voice, he movingly reads the novel. His articulate narration is augmented by his vocal characterizations, which he executes with careful attention, giving each character a distinctive voice. Tom's deep, somber voice almost resonates, while the cruel slave owner, Simon Legree, speaks in a raspy vernacular. Allen masterfully elicits an array of Southern dialects for Stowe's variety of characters. His thoughtful, engaged performance creates a memorable audio experience.

Atlantis: Poems
|
From Publishers Weekly Doty's fourth collection, coming after the 1993 National Book Critics' Circle award-winning My Alexandria, is anchored in the lush and pressing world of loss. He begins calmly with sensually descriptive poems that fully observe the complex brilliances of grasses of a salt marsh, of the shell of a crab or a row of mackerel. Loss and grief are introduced in a narrative poem, "Grosse Fugue," about a friend dying of AIDS. Grief intensifies and climaxes with the title poem, the book's centerpiece, a chronicle of his lover and other friends infected with AIDS, highlighting the related nightmares and desperations that become part of everyday life. Anger follows as settings shift from seaside to inner city; the speaker's spirit toughens. The stunning "Homo Will Not Inherit" explodes with pride, rage and shame over the longings of a gay man in an urban landscape. The concluding poems, returned to the natural world and heavy and ripe with the imagery of fall and winter, unearth a saving, harsh beauty in the movement of bodies through space and time toward death. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal A winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for My Alexandria, Doty offers "eloquent meditations on the essential themes?mortality and life, beauty and loss" (LJ 4/14/93)?in poems haunted by the specter of AIDS.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Trick of Fae: New Adult Dark Urban Fantasy with a Fairy Tale twist. (These Hallowed Hills)
|
Review In a YA fantasy market drenched in fae worship and love affairs, Mason's book is a snarl of fresh air. The plot continually turns the screw, ramping up the pace and delivering one feisty, gun-toting, yet vulnerable heroine. The musical world of the haughty, vain, and hierarchy obsessed fae is both ethereal and terrifying, whilst the gladiatorial finale is reminiscent of the Hunger Games. WOW! What a story! I always loved reading nursery rhymes but after having read this book I'm not so sure I like them anymore. Are they really the gruesome stories of the Fae? This book is absolutely fantastic. Not only has the author created a terrific, if slightly terrifying, world beneath our own but the two are so intertwined and ingeniously described you can't help but think it might all be real. That is not your normal approach to faires and was surprisingly very engaging. I thought I knew my fairy stories, S.L Mason made me question everything. The stories are compelling and suspenseful. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. Can't wait to see what happens next in the storyline! I loved reading this book! Kept me on the edge of my seat couldn't put the book down! About the Author S.L. Mason has lived, worked, and traveled all over the world. From this depth of experience, Mason has developed a unique talent twisting historical and geographical facts into the lore of her fictional worlds.S.L. Mason has a background in the entertainment, hospitality, construction and finance industries. Using her experience with various aspects of human psychology she is able to develop many diverse characters, rich in depth and motivation.Mason is semi-retired and living with her husband and two children.

The Long Shadow of Waterloo: Myths, Memories, and Debates
|
Review "Rather than a simple retelling of this battle, this new work explores its effect on the minds and memories of those involved. The authors gathered information on how Waterloo was remembered politically, culturally, through literature and even tourism. The battle figured prominently in the 19th-Century mind, and the book effectively presents how that hold on the imagination was used and even exploited." Military Heritage Magazine "...a sympathetic but objective account.'' Waterloo Association Journal ‘'Timothy Fitzpatrick sums up his concise but authoritative narrative of the last action of the Napoleonic Wars. Fitzpatrick accurately concludes that the history of Waterloo will never escape the myths and legends around the two central personalities.'' Military History Matters "...covers the historiography of Waterloo and attempts to give context to the various camps and their effect on the teaching and analysis of the great battle...a quick read and will leave the reader with numerous insights that they likely did not have before reading it." Napoleonic Historical Society "This is an interesting twist on Waterloo, and I found it an entertaining and often surprising book."

Arctic Adventure (English and Dutch Edition)
|
From School Library Journal Grade 5-9 What had the potential for be ing an exciting adventure story is in stead a trite and tiresome diatribe. Fif teen-year-old Menno Blunders goes to the Arctic with his older brother Adri an, an archaeologist in search of re mains of 17th-Century whalers. There he discovers a rare whale. The brothers are beset by bad weather; the engine of their small boat is destroyed; and they are stranded. When they make radio contact with a Greenpeace crew in the area, an evil whale hunter overhears that they have discovered a whale. There's a race to see who will get to the brothers and the whale first. Plagued by monotonous writing and wooden dia logue, the book is so didactic that any one interested in the subject is bound to be turned off. Readers never escape the interjection of the narrator's voice; di versions and instruction interrupt the flow of story at almost every point from the history of the early whalers, Greenpeace, and scurvy to the fate of the Titantic . When Adrian finally makes radio contact with the Green peace flagship, Dekkers inserts, be tween the initial contact and the ship's response, a lengthy description of the ship and its history; a description of the captain and his dress (including the bor der on his hat); and a description of the entire crew. There's too much trivia and message-laden writing and far too little Arctic Adventure here. Trev Jones, ``School Library Journal''Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Engels After Marx
|
Review “ Engels After Marx is an impressive work of scholarship. It brings Engels out from under the shadow of Marx and treats him as a thinker and activist in his own right. The host of perspectives offered in this volume examines the range of Engels’s influence, his achievements, his mistakes, and his legacy for progressive theory and practice. The editors have indeed made a genuine contribution to our understanding of a crucial figure in the history of modernity.” —Stephen Eric Bronner, Rutgers University
