Immerse yourself in a world dictated by the demands of survival in a hostile environment, and be swept away in an epic tale of love, identity and struggle. See how the Clan's wary suspicion is gradually transformed into acceptance of this girl, so different from them, under the guidance of its medicine woman Iza and its wise holy man Creb. Follow Ayla, a Cro-Magnon child who loses her parents in an earthquake and is adopted by a tribe of Neanderthal, the Clan. Leave 21st century London and go back to Ice Age Europe. Jean Auel's imaginative reconstruction of pre-historic life, rich in detail of language, culture, myth and ritual, has become a set text in schools and colleges around the world. One of them is Jondalar, whose destiny is bound inextricably with Ayla's. But far to the west, two young Cro-Magnon brothers have begun a journey. First she adopts a young filly, then a wounded lion cub. Unable to find people like herself, the Cro-Magnons, she settles there and seeks friendship elsewhere. Forced to leave the Clan and her young son, Ayla sets out alone to travel the frigid steppes until she finds the valley of horses.

Easy rawlins devil in a blue dress6/8/2023 This repetition makes it clear to the reader that race will be an issue and will play a part in the story. The constant focus on skin color reminds the reader of the time period that the novel takes place in. In a scene where Easy goes to see Albright in his office, he is confronted by a “little white man wearing a suit that was also a uniform.” (58) Though this encounter with the security guard is brief, Rawlins notes his skin color four times. As the novel continues and more characters are introduced, Mosley continues describing them in terms of their skin color. The word “white” is used three times in just this one sentence. Upon seeing Albright for the first time Rawlins considers, “It’s not just that he was white but he wore an off-white linen suit and shirt with a Panama straw hat and bone shoes over flashing white silk socks.” (45) It not only describes Albright as a Caucasian man, but he is literally, in every aspect, a white man. The character of DeWitt Albright is introduced in the first paragraph of the novel.

Get out of my head jennie allen6/8/2023 I was only a few pages in when I realized this book was going to be such a practical help to so many of my clients, along with friends and family. This is the first book I have read of hers. If you don’t know Jennie Allen, she is the founder of IF: Gathering, and is a speaker and writer to Christian women across the country. This first book review will be of the book “Get Out of Your Head,” by Jennie Allen. I thought, why not begin to write some book reviews? About the author Most of what I read has a few nuggets of wisdom here and there, but recently I have read a couple of books that I can see recommending to the vast majority of my clients. Most of these books are Christian self-help/mental health resources. But, over the last decade or so, and especially since my time in seminary, I have transitioned to reading mostly nonfiction. I remember loving the school library and always having a fiction book I was reading I still love this. “We have bought the lie that we are victims of our thoughts rather than warriors equipped to fight on the front lines of the greatest battle of our generation: the battle of our minds.” She (Jennie Allen) had me from page 4.

The worst hard time book6/7/2023 In an era that promises ever-greater natural disasters, The Worst Hard Time is "arguably the best nonfiction book yet" (Austin Statesman Journal) on the greatest environmental disaster ever to be visited upon our land and a powerful cautionary tale about the dangers of trifling with nature. Brilliantly capturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, Egan does equal justice to the human characters who become his heroes, "the stoic, long-suffering men and women whose lives he opens up with urgency and respect" (New York Times). Following a dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, Egan tells of their desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dust blizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. In October, over 40 prints first published in Sex will go up for sale as part of a special standalone auction. This National Book Award-winning story, a tour de force of historical reportage, rescues an iconic chapter of American history-the Dust Bowl that terrorized the High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression-from the shadows. Our business meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability to.
