7/4/2023 0 Comments Wicked by David CoteFor whatever reason, people need to look at things in black and white, to label one person a villain and another a hero. See also: As You Wish by Cary Elwes Hamilton: The RevolutionĮveryone's desires lead to the tragic elements of the story. Overall, a beautifully designed book that fans will enjoy. There are many photographs, and the complete lyrics and story of Wicked. There's a timeline (along a yellow brick road, of course), the evolution of the story, and spotlights on the costumes, choreography, set, and sound, as well as reviews and impact (including a few fan letters).

Stretching between these figures is a cast of artists, writers, and scientists - mostly women, mostly queer - whose public contribution has risen out of their unclassifiable and often heartbreaking private relationships to change the way we understand, experience and appreciate the universe. Figuring explores the complexities of love and the human search for truth and meaning through the interconnected lives of several historical figures across four centuries - beginning with the astronomer Johannes Kepler, who discovered the laws of planetary motion, and ending with the marine biologist and author Rachel Carson, who catalysed the environmental movement. 7/4/2023 0 Comments Johanna spyri novelIt’s not just that a fondness for words has enabled me to have a career as a journalist and – more recently – to write books of my own. I’m indebted to my mum who fostered that love of reading. Heidi’s story encouraged me to discover other books – from Just William and his friends to Patricia Lynch’s tales about Brogeen the Leprechaun from Little Women to Noel Streatfeild. I can remember wanting to be part of her world. To say that a book changed your life is a big statement, but all these years later I can remember the thrill of reading Heidi. It's illustrated with black and white sketches and the occasional full-colour picture: here a rosy-cheeked Peter, there a wan and sad-eyed Clara. There remains something beautiful about it, though. It was published in 1955, and I think that ‘much loved’ would be the kindest way to describe its condition. My copy – and I still have it – originally belonged to my mum. But, more likely, it’s because I then read it by myself. Perhaps, it’s because the descriptions of Heidi’s mountain home were so enchanting. Perhaps, this is because it seemed so much more grown-up than other books. Of course, she’d read other books, but Johanna Spyri’s story about a little girl who goes to live with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps is the one that has lodged in my brain. When I was six, my mother read Heidi to me.

Except now Lazlo looks inhuman and is exacting revenge on his former classmates! I guess that’s why most universities don’t kill their students as a general rule.
