Robin is ever the do-gooder, for-the-people charming man he always is, though for this story he is a wee bit younger, with a little more brooding teenager lurking beneath his eyes. But I think it pushes forward the narrative rather than holding it back. And of course, being a YA fiction novel with a mysterious cross-dressed girl, there is love interest. Of course, her being a girl is a secret, and the boys Robin, John, Much, and Allan protect her. And because of this, it makes sense that the character Gaughen creates to be Will Scarlet is rough around the edges and hell to face off against when Scarlet has her knives. Gaughen plays this well: Scarlet is a girl who ran away from home early in her teens, and has been living with six teenage guys for the past half-a-decade or so. Gaughen’s Scarlet tells the story of the Robin Hood gang from the point of view of Robin’s most trusted member, Will Scarlet. Published just last year from Walker & Company Publishers, A.C. And recently I have found a new favorite view on Nottingham. Whether it’s the animal-animated Disney version, the BBC’s highly reviewed television series, or Cary Elwes singing in tights, I have always loved Robin and his merry men.

'Expertly told and highly entertaining' GEORGE PELECANOS, writer and producer of The Wire 'Sacred, ferocious, and businesslike, Adelstein describes the Japanese mafia like nobody else' ROBERTO SAVIANO, author of Gomorrah 'Gripping and absorbing. Tokyo Vice An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan by Jake Adelstein 9780307475299 (Paperback, 2010) Delivery UK delivery is usually within 6 to 8. With its visceral descriptions and detailed exploration of the modern-day yakuza, Tokyo Vice is a deeply thought-provoking book: equal parts cultural expose, true crime and hard-boiled noir. But when his final scoop brought him face-to-face with Japan's most infamous yakuza boss - and the threat of death for him and his family - Adelstein decided to step down. Working eighty-hour weeks for twelve years, he covered the seedy side of Japan, where extortion, murder, human trafficking and corruption are as familiar as ramen noodles and sake. crime reporting, that is, at the prestigious Yomiuri Shinbun. At nineteen, Jake Adelstein went to Japan in search of peace and tranquility. From the only American journalist ever to have been admitted to the insular Tokyo Metropolitan Police press club: a unique, first-hand, revelatory look at Japanese culture from the underbelly up. BUT WE'LL DO THEM FIRST, SO YOU LEARN YOUR LESSON BEFORE YOU DIE. Now a Max Original Series on HBO Max - EITHER ERASE THE STORY, OR WE'LL ERASE YOU. A riveting true-life tale of newspaper noir and Japanese organised crime from an American investigative journalist. Why does the brief period known as Reconstruction, a century and a half ago, still influence the state of the Union so heavily?Īs the eminent historian Eric Foner explains in “The Second Founding,” the failure of the United States “to build an egalitarian society on the ashes of slavery” between 18 - the years conventionally associated with Reconstruction - left defining national issues unresolved: who should have the right to vote who should get citizenship and the imprimatur of belonging in the United States and how to provide equal opportunity for people who lack wealth and power.Ī generation ago, in his masterly account “Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution,” Foner detailed why the attempt to rebuild the country on a racially egalitarian footing after the Civil War failed: political factionalism, financial corruption and the vindictive President Andrew Johnson’s efforts to subvert reform an economic depression that triggered “a resurgence of overt racism” and a campaign of terror against blacks that went unchecked by law enforcement. THE SECOND FOUNDING How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution By Eric Foner Cohen discusses how to get down on the floor and join children on their own terms. After identifying why it can be hard for adults to play, Dr. We help them express and understand deep emotions, foster connection, aid the process of emotional healing-and have a great time ourselves while we're at it.Īnyone can be a playful parent-all it takes is a sense of adventure and a willingness to let down your guard and try something new. Through play we join our kids in their world. That's why "playful parenting" is so important and so successful in building strong, close bonds between parents and children. Cohen points out, play is children's complex and fluid way of exploring the world, communicating hard-to-express feelings, getting close to those they care about, working through stressful situations, and simply blowing off steam. Have you ever stepped back to watch what really goes on when your children play? As Dr. From eliciting a giggle during baby's first game of peek-a-boo to cracking jokes with a teenager while hanging out at the mall, Playful Parenting is a complete guide to using play to raise strong, confident children. Cohen, Ph.D., demonstrates in this delightful new book, play can be the basis for an innovative and rewarding approach to parenting. Parents have heard that play is a child's work-but play is not for kids only. She left at 16, early in 11th grade, because she needed to care for her dying grandmother and, shortly thereafter, her chronically ill mother. Rosa moved to Montgomery, Alabama, at age 11 and eventually attended high school there, a laboratory school at the Alabama State Teachers’ College for Negroes. Rosa’s mother was a teacher, and the family valued education. She stood her ground until Blake pulled her coat sleeve, enraged, to demand her cooperation. Parks stepped onto his very crowded bus on a chilly day 12 years earlier, paid her fare at the front, then resisted the rule in place for Black people to disembark and re-enter through the back door. Her brother, Sylvester, was born in 1915, and shortly after that her parents separated.ĭid you know? When Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat in 1955, it wasn’t the first time she’d clashed with driver James Blake. She moved with her parents, James and Leona McCauley, to Pine Level, Alabama, at age 2 to reside with Leona’s parents. Rosa Louise McCauley was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, on February 4, 1913. This ripper of a book packed a quick, fast punch. So glad I am reading more books of a 'thrilling' nature! Many of Paullina's novels have reached international bestseller lists.Īpart from her novels, Paullina has also written a cookbook, Tatiana's Table, which is a collection of recipes, short stories and recollections from her best selling trilogy of novels, The Bronze Horseman, The Bridge to Holy Cross, (also known as Tatiana and Alexander) and The Summer Garden. She continued with more novels, including Red Leaves, Eleven Hours, The Bronze Horseman, The Bridge to Holy Cross (also known as Tatiana and Alexander), The Summer Garden and The Girl in Times Square (also known as Lily). Through word of mouth that book was welcomed by readers all over the world. Her dream was put on hold as she learned English and overcame the shock of a new culture.Īfter graduating from university and after various jobs including working as a financial journalist and as a translator Paullina wrote her first novel Tully. Growing up in Russia Paullina dreamt of someday becoming a writer. At the age of ten her family immigrated to the United States. Paullina Simons was born in Leningrad, USSR, in 1963. This is not a book that supplies any "power of positive thinking" messages, but instead shows the daily struggle of a man coming to terms with a terrible disease. Throughout the book, he clearly speaks of his diagnosis as a "sentence" the lack of a cure is dwelt on in many sections, and a story about an accidental overdose of his prescriptions is particularly grim. Clips from articles on Alzheimer's research are sprinkled around, and statistics like the $174,000 that a patient spends on the disease over a lifetime are sobering. While his history is recounted in chronological order, these memories-of his childhood marriage to his wife, Joyce their years in writing and politics his passion for herbs and the growing of a successful business-are interspersed with unrelated musings on everything from his cat's sudden deafness to losing his wallet. Losing My Mind blends personal history with the fear and pain of developing the disease at the age of 57 it is both a sadly fascinating account of Alzheimer's progression and an attempt for the writer to remember his past before it is gone for good. This first-person account of Alzheimer's ties several powerful stories together. View full detailsLong Island, NY > Buy & Sell > General Items in Long Island, NY > M/C Pins and Patch - Vintage $1.
