Patina track series5/23/2023 Patina “Patty” Jones runs like the wind on the track but it is the issues off the track that are weighing her down. Since I read them in one big chunk, it only makes sense to review them together. Score! It took me a couple weeks to get to them, but each one went down quickly and I found myself really liking how Reynolds crafted the books to both fit together and stand alone and how walking (or running) in the shoes of the four new members of the Defenders track team made for an engaging experience. He’s a prolific writer, so catching up and keeping up will take some work.įlash forward to mid-December when I discovered a display of the remaining three books in the Track series at my community college’s library-just as I was turning in my final grades and getting ready to go on break. I had seen Jason Reynolds on The Daily Show, started following him on Twitter, and all that made me want to read his work-all of his work. Last February I read Ghost, the first book in Jason Reynold’s middle grade Track series and enjoyed it immensely though I understood I was definitely not the intended audience.

Medusa burton5/23/2023 The arrival of a golden, glowing young man, Perseus son of Zeus, is the catalyst for the revelation of her loneliness and sharing of her memories. The snakes are intelligent, unwieldy and unpredictable and are personalised with names and idiosyncrasies, such as Echo who is small, coral-coloured with emerald bands and is sweet-natured yet protective. Medusa is content in some ways despite her isolation caused by her Athena-cursed hair of snakes. Her two immortal winged sisters return to the island each evening with food. In a feminist version of the ancient Greek myth, young Medusa is exiled to a rocky island, where its barren beauty gives her some respite and peace. Her new book Medusa, lavishly illustrated by Olivia Lomenech Gill, further explores this preoccupation. Jessie Burton is the author of The Miniaturist, The Muse and The Confession for adults and The Restless Girls (illustrated by Angela Barrett), a reimaged fairy tale inspired by The Twelve Dancing Princesses about girls who circumvent their powerless state, for young readers. It is a classic tale that is also of our time.

Miriam toews latest book5/22/2023 You don’t need an appetite for the salacious to want to know how a handful of men could rape dozens of women in a close-knit community, year after year, undetected. It looms in the background, begging to be dramatized and explained. The only problem with this approach is that the grotesque and bizarre crime wave that launches the narrative remains all but unfathomable. By refusing to focus on the crimes that launched this existential reappraisal, she treats them as dignified individuals rather than props in a voyeuristic entertainment. By loosening the tongues of disenfranchised women and engaging them in substantive dialogue about their lives, Toews grants them agency they haven’t enjoyed in life. conversation is loose, unpredictable, occasionally profane and surprisingly funny. Women Talking is a wry, freewheeling novel of ideas that touches on the nature of evil, questions of free will, collective responsibility, cultural determinism and, above all, forgiveness.

False gods graham mcneill5/22/2023 Upon making landfall, the Space Marines find that the moon has become a decaying, swampy version of its former self, with a yellow misty haze making vision difficult. Horus despatches the Sons of Horus to Davin 3, a moon of Davin, with a heavy contingent of manpower as well as an Imperial Titan to support them. Horus becomes livid at this statement, and orders an Astartes speartip to assault Temba's forces. Furthermore, Horus is told that Davin's Planetary Governor, Eugen Temba, has been spouting traitorous remarks about the Emperor of Mankind and Horus himself. In this book the Warmaster Horus' Legion of Space Marines, the Sons of Horus, are told by Erebus, the First Chaplain of the Word Bearers Legion, that the planet Davin has become a non-Compliant world and is in rebellion against the Imperium of Man. With all the temptations that Chaos has to offer, can the weakened Horus resist? Horus is still battling against the jealousy and resentment of his brother Primarchs and, when he is injured in combat on the planet Davin, he must also battle his inner daemons. Yet all is not well in the armies of the Imperium. The Emperor of Mankind has handed the reins of command to his favoured son, the Warmaster Horus. The Great Crusade that has taken humanity into the stars continues. False Gods by Graham McNeill is the second volume in the Horus Heresy series of novels. New york times medical mysteries5/22/2023 Readers who enjoy dramatic stories of doctors fighting disease will get their fill, and they will also encounter thoughtful essays on how doctors think and go about their work, and how they might do it better. Sanders uses this case to explain how computers can help in diagnoses (Google is not bad, she says, but better programs exist). Another patient, frustrated at her doctor’s failure to diagnose her fever and rash, googles her symptoms and finds the correct answer. The author then ponders the neglect of the physical exam, by today’s physicians, enamored with high-tech tests that sometimes reveal less than a simple exam. An abdominal exam would have detected the patient’s obstructed, grossly swollen bladder. Batteries of tests are unrevealing, but he quickly recovers after a resident extracts two quarts of urine. A man arrives at the hospital, delirious, his kidneys failing. Unlike Berton Roueché in his books of medical puzzles, Sanders not only collects difficult cases, she reflects on what each means for both patient and struggling physician. The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented challenge for the US health care system as the number of people needing medical care has exploded over a period of. In her first book, internist and New York TimesĬolumnist Sanders discusses how doctors deal with diagnostic dilemmas. Ptsd surviving to thriving5/22/2023 Even when one wound is excavated, addressed and healed, another trauma that wound was connected to will inevitably unravel in the process. These childhood wounds create the foundation of deep-seated toxic shame and self-sabotage for the survivor each “tiny terror” or larger trauma in adulthood builds upon it, brick by brick, creating an ingrained framework for self-destruction. The most recent traumas build on earlier ones, reinforcing ancient wounds, maladaptive belief systems and fear-based physiological responses. Imagine, if you will, multiple chains of traumas, all of which are connected in some way to each other. Survivors of complex trauma endure trauma not only in childhood, but often in adulthood as well. Complex trauma is compounded trauma and can result in symptoms of Complex PTSD. |
