It’s like Staples’ Archie had a baby with the old-school Archie Comics from days gone by, and it’s flipping delightful. Her art fits perfectly with Archie, providing a less realistic drawing style than Staples, and a more traditional cartoonishness. ![]() The first volume saw the delicious visuals of Fiona Staples ( Saga) and this time Veronica Fish, whose other work includes the awesome BOOM! Studios series, Slam, and Marvel titles like Spider Woman and Howard the Duck. The art again is on-point here, it looks bloody lovely. The whole world of Archie that is out there was relaunched, so just grab the new stuff and get stuck in. Written by Mark Waid, with art from Veronica Fish, the second volume requires that you only need to read Volume 1, and nothing prior. ![]() I’m a big fan of Archie Comics, as can he heard on articles I’ve penned on Nerdy about that world, and I really loved the new relaunch when it happened, which kicked off wonderfully with the first volume. ![]() Written by Marc Waid | Art by Veronica Fish | Published by Archie Comics | Format: Paperback, 176pp ![]() ![]() ![]() The contents of the manifestos of the two main political parties were virtually the same apart from their policies on senior high school education. ![]() Indeed, through the activities of civil society organisations such as the Institute of Economic Affairs and state bodies like the National Commission for Civic Education, politicians campaigned vigorously by articulating the key policy prescriptions encapsulated in their manifestos. The contents of the manifestos of the two main political parties, the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party, were brought into sharp focus. In the run-up to Ghana’s 2012 general elections ‘gutter politics’, the kind of politicking that focuses on mudslinging, vituperation, personal attacks and character assassination, which usually characterises the nation’s election campaigns, gave way to issue-based politics. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This book’s sampling is selected by Justice Ginsburg and her authorized biographers Mary Hartnett and Wendy W.

Three Hours is immensely satisfying as an action-driven thriller, but its real resonance lies in exploring the mysteries of human consciousness, revealing how you don’t know a person. Thrust into the red-hot center of the war, a country girl from rural Oregon finds herself holding the fate of the world in her hands.

Not that I haven’t been reading – I’m never not reading – I haven’t been reading anything that moved me enough to lend time to a review. I’m back! Actually, I haven’t gone anywhere, I simply haven’t been posting reviews. ![]() ![]() ![]() The 548 pages of The Book are warranted because of a message that is much bigger and more comprehensive in its critique than any of Ozeki’s previous works.įirst, let’s consider some common themes and narrative techniques that are part of Ozeki’s novels. I will make the case that The Book of Form and Emptiness is a radical novel. Each of the abovementioned reviews does a good job describing the plot lines and characters - here, I am going to do something different. The consensus is that (a) it’s a marvelous book, (b) it’s too long, and (c) it takes too much time to deliver a very similar message as Ozeki’s last novel, A Tale for the Time Being, a 2013 Booker finalist. ![]() ![]() RUTH OZEKI’S NEW NOVEL, The Book of Form and Emptiness, has been widely praised in the pages of The Guardian ( twice), The Washington Post, The New York Times, and elsewhere. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2005 Stone and Schneir moved from Manhattan to Daytona Beach, where Schneir still lives following her death in 2011.Īnd now Schneir has co-authored the book “Merlin Stone Remembered” (Llewellyn, 331 p.), which he co-wrote with two local writers and former university professors, David Axelrod and Carol Thomas. The book became a staple of the women's studies programs springing up at progressive colleges around the country, and it led one observer to dub Stone the “foremother of Goddess feminism.” Published in 1976 (the year Stone and Schneir first met), “When God Was a Woman” played a key role in the rise of “feminist theology” in the '70s and '80s. That book, Stone wrote in its preface, is “the story of the suppression of women's rites” - the story of how “in prehistoric and early historic periods of human development, religions existed in which people revered their supreme creator as female,” before such practices were “aggressively” suppressed by patriarchal worship. ![]() She was a sculptor and professor of art and art history who had just published a book that she believed, as she told interviewer Michael Toms, “maybe 10 people in the world would bother to wade through.”Īnd, Merlin Stone told Lenny Schneir, she had felt guided by “a female energy in the universe” as she trekked across Europe and the Middle East researching what would become “When God Was a Woman.” When Lenny met Merlin, he was a poker player by profession and a self-confessed “male chauvinist.” ![]() ![]() ![]() Fabulous!" -Ann Leckie, award winning-author of Ancillary Justice ![]() Innovative and genre-bending, Tade Thompson's ambitious Afrofuturist series is perfect for fans of Jeff Vandermeer, N.
