There's nothing too crazy or exotic among them that I've discovered, but the fact that there aren't any women I could name meant I had to read this book to find out more! I was given a copy of the book for free by the publisher to review, but as always this review is my own thoughts. The women detailed are all what we might think of as more classical musicians or composers and lived in the western world. It just right for a lunch break or before bed reading. I'll be honest, I haven't read all the stories yet, but none of them are terribly long. There's also a nicely written prologue that gives a bit of an overview of women in the world of music and what has at times kept them from being as popularly known as their contemporaries. There are twenty different women profiled in the book, all in historical order from 1098 CE to the last who was born in 1931. It allows many of the women who were well known in their time to be made known now to modern music and history lovers despite the fact that many history of music textbooks leave these ladies out. So this book is a fantastic combination of both. If you get to know me well enough you know I enjoy my history and women's studies. The Love of the Sirens by Edith Zack is a little bit off my typical path of fiction and comics, but I really loved the format of small historical biographies of women in music. The story is designed as a very subtle hypnotic induction, with the intent of giving some (but not all) listeners the sensation that the Avatar's words actually contain the wisdom of the universe.įor some listeners, especially those under 30, God's Debris can be a mind altering experience. You and your friends will come to very different conclusions.The third level of the book is the most provocative, but it won't have the same effect on all listeners. Some of what the Avatar says is consistent with science, and some of it is pure fiction. The second level of the book involves arguing with your friends about what parts the Avatar got wrong. Adams uses a writing trick to make the Avatar's answers appear more persuasive than they should be. The Avatar reveals the truth about God, reality, science, probability, human perception, and even social success. On the surface, God's Debris is a simple fictional story of a delivery man who encounters an Avatar who knows literally everything. God's Debris is what happens when creativity and hypnosis intersect. What is less known about Adams is that he's a trained hypnotist. It is written on three separate levels by Scott Adams, better known as the creator of the Dilbert comic. 'A tense, moody drama set on a press trip that goes horribly wrong.

Gripping, tragic, and densely atmospheric, Snow Falling on Cedars is a masterpiece of suspense- one that leaves us shaken and changed. Above all, San Piedro is haunted by the memory of what happened to its Japanese residents during World War II, when an entire community was sent into exile while its neighbors watched. For on San Pedro, memory grows as thickly as cedar trees and the fields of ripe strawberries-memories of a charmed love affair between a white boy and the Japanese girl who grew up to become Kabuo's wife memories of land desired, paid for, and lost. In the course of the ensuing trial, it becomes clear that what is at stake is more than a man's guilt. But in 1954 a local fisherman is found suspiciously drowned, and a Japanese American named Kabuo Miyamoto is charged with his murder.

Massie shows her towering intellect, force of personality, and steely resolve from an early age. To say Catherine is a fascinating character is to do her a disservice. The lovers were real, but few there was no mention of the horse and the Garbo movie turned out to be about Queen Christina of Sweden who lived a century earlier. I had hazy memories of multiple lovers, a (possible) scandal about her and a horse, and a movie starring Greta Garbo. My knowledge of Catherine the Great was vague to the point of mythical. Massie delivers a wonderfully researched and readable book. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Peter the Great, Nicholas and Alexandra, and The Romanovs returns with another masterpiece of narrative biography, the extraordinary story of an obscure young German princess who traveled to Russia at fourteen and rose to become one of the most remarkable, powerful, and captivating women in history. One abuse scene did bother me enough that I hit the fast forward 30 seconds button to bypass it, I just couldn't do it. This book is dark and has trigger warnings for child abuse (graphic and dark). The buildup is outstanding, I was not able to put it down, and it’s just a magnificent, psycho thriller at its best. There are so many parallels between them, I'm surprised I haven't seen more mentions of this in book reviews. We have the parallels between Rebecca and Verity, Maxim and Jeremy, and the unnamed young wife in Rebecca and Lowen. I really wonder if the author intended it or if it was accidental. Not the movie, since there are some marked differences between them. This book really reminds me of Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier. I'm not sorry I did, now I will be reading everything, Colleen Hoover. But eventually (it was inevitable) I succumbed to the pressures of dark thriller booktok and picked it up. This is my first Colleen Hoover book and I hesitated for a while before picking this up. The tone of the story suddenly shifts as the author describes a meeting after which some major concerns were raised by employees. The company’s management is full of competent, well-established experts and people with decades of experience at large tech companies. The company is run by Elizabeth Holmes, who dropped out of Stanford during her sophomore year, at 19 years of age, in order to start her own business. Their innovative system offers the users blood testing without needles and the requirements of the lab. The story begins in 2006 with the introduction of Theranos, a company established 3 years prior that offers a revolutionary way of blood testing. The book follows the company from its founding, a billion-dollar evaluation that made Holmes a billionaire, ended with the revelation of the fraud that Holmes managed to hide from the investors and the public for years. John Carreyorou delivers a story on the rise and fall of “Theranos,” a company founded by Elizabeth Holmes when she was 19 years old. I had known Norman Routledge when I was a high-school student at Eton in the early 1970s. But what it did have (in addition to an inscription saying “from Alan Turing’s books”) was a colorful four-page note from Norman Routledge to George Rutter, written in 2002. I opened the front of the book, wondering if it might have a “Property of Alan Turing” sticker or something. George reached into his briefcase and pulled out a rather unassuming, typical mid-1900s academic volume. We ate and chatted, and waited for the food to be cleared. But in March 2019 I was indeed in England, and arranged to meet George for breakfast at a small hotel in Oxford. George ended, “If you would like the book, I could give it to you the next time you are in England.”Ī couple of years passed. In May 2017, I got an email from a former high-school teacher of mine named George Rutter: “I have a copy of Dirac’s big book in German ( Die Prinzipien der Quantenmechanik) that was owned by Alan Turing, and following your book Idea Makers it seemed obvious that you were the right person to own this.” He explained that he’d got the book from another (by then deceased) former high-school teacher of mine, Norman Routledge, who I knew had been a friend of Alan Turing’s. |
