Zumthor – who works from the small town of Haldenstein in Switzerland – likes being outside the big centres of the world, as it frees him of having to consider the opinions of his fellow colleagues: “If you work like an artist, you need your own separate space.” He does, however, also work well in the “anonymous sound” of a city, where it is also possible to find calm in “a protective ocean of sound.” There are, Zumthor feels, different kinds of silence, and finding one’s mental silence – being able to concentrate – is what is most important in order to work well. In this extensive and rare biographical video interview he tells the captivating story of his childhood, his studies in NYC and his parents’ strong influence. We visited Peter Zumthor – one of the world’s leading architects – in his studio in Switzerland. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Defiance by C.J. Redwine![]() ![]() Logan is determined to protect her, but when his escape plan goes wrong and Rachel pays the price, he realizes he has more at stake than disappointing Jared.Īs Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked by a monster that can't be killed and an army of assassins out for blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war decades in the making. ![]() But his plan never included being responsible for his mentor's impulsive daughter. ![]() As apprentice to the city's top courier, Logan is focused on learning his trade so he can escape the tyranny of Baalboden. Redwine is a New York Times bestselling author of speculative fiction, a diehard lover of going to the movies, and a believer in fairytales. But treason against the Commander carries a heavy price, and what awaits her in the Wasteland could destroy her.Īt nineteen, Logan McEntire is many things. Left with nothing but fierce belief in her father's survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself. When her father, Jared, fails to return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the Commander assigns Rachel a new Protector, her father's apprentice, Logan-the same boy Rachel declared her love for two years ago, and the same boy who handed her heart right back to her.

Today, in a polarized era of anti–Black Lives Matter backlash and a union movement struggling to be reborn, it’s hard to think of another work of imaginative literature that reminds us so vividly of the deep relationship between racism and class oppression. Failing to recognize common class interests, African-American and Euro-American workers were at each other’s throats. Eight decades ago, a thirty-year-old African-American Communist writer published a bold and alarming dramatization of the social costs of capitalism and racism at the time of the Great Steel Strike in 1919. ![]() ![]() History’s shadow can be longer than one might think. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Jennifer saint ariadne reviews![]() However, the dual POVs did not work for me. The book is mostly from Ariadne’s POV, but also features the point of view of Phaedra, Ariadne’s little sister. For Ariadne, she falls in love with Theseus at first sight, and she devises a plan to help him make it safely through the maze. Hero Theseus arrives in Crete after offering himself up to be sacrificed in place of a child to go through King Minos’ labyrinth, and face the Minotaur, a half-bull, half-human creature. In Greek mythology, and in this book, Ariadne is the Princess of Crete. Ariadne follows, you guessed it, Ariadne. I almost DNFed this book 50 pages in, but decided to stick with it. ![]() ![]() As someone of Greek heritage myself, I find it fascinating that my ancestors wove such intricate, and often brutal, tales about the world around them, and I’ve loved learning about Greek myths ever since my Percy Jackson days and my Latin classes! I love myth retellings, especially Greek myths. It’s disappointing when you don’t end up liking a book you were looking forward to. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Tekwar![]() ![]() ![]() The entire franchise stems from a premise dreamed up by William Shatner and first established in 1989’s TekWar-with ghostwriting duties handled by Edgar Award-nominee Ron Goulart. The series also spawned a comic book series (Marvel’s TekWorld) a first-person shooter video game ( William Shatner’s TekWar) and screen adaptations in the form of made-for-TV movies and the TekWar TV series that aired from 1994 to 1996. The TekWar series is comprised of nine novels, beginning with 1989’s TekWar and concluding with 1997’s Tek Net. Let’s buckle up and take a ride, shall we? And while it doesn’t journey into the same deep space explored by the authors mentioned above, it does ask a number of questions about our relationship with technology that echo through to this day. Similarly, the first mission of Shatner’s TekWar series is to entertain. ![]() |
