![]() ![]() But generally, Patrick Harvey was a good narrator of the story. If they are wrong, they lessen our trust in the narrator. Is there no producer present to make sure the narrator gets these things right? - surely it would be easy, with search engines, to say place names properly. The narrator made quite a few howlers in pronunciation. In 1768, as a galivanting young playboy, he joined Captain James Cook's Endeavour expedition to the South Pacific. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Australian and British history. Fabulously wealthy, Banks was the driving force behind monumental voyages and scientific discoveries in Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa and the Arctic. I found the non-Cook sections, before and after the voyages, more interesting, and they certainly showed what a major figure Banks was, not only in science but in public affairs generally, and as a wealthy benefactor for many people and organizations. It was not quite as interesting as the others because I knew so much about Captain Cook's voyages, and Banks' important part in them - but all that had to be told of course. I have enjoyed two other biographies by Grantley Kieza, those of Macquarie and Paterson, and this one is of the same high standard. ![]() ![]() But that would be a feat more powerful than any magician has ever accomplished.įirst they have to search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells. To have any chance of battling the Forces of Chaos, the Kanes must revive the sun god Ra. In other words, it’s a typical week for the Kane family. If they don’t prevent him from breaking free in a few days’ time, the world will come to an end. As descendants of the House of Life, the Kanes have some powers at their command, but the devious gods haven’t given them much time to master their skills at Brooklyn House, which has become a training ground for young magicians.Īnd now their most threatening enemy yet – the chaos snake Apophis – is rising. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister Sadie have been in trouble. ![]() ![]() Hence, there is a need to understand these contexts in which Muslims have read the Quran. The extratextual context relates to the social, state and legal practices. ![]() The reliance on the secondary texts often lead to confusing Quran with these texts, thereby, marginalizing Quran in the Muslim religious discourse. Shariah, that is, classical Muslim law is based on this understanding. These texts are referred in developing tafsir, that is, exegesis or interpretation of the Quran. ![]() To understand Quranic exegesis, we need to know the intertextualities or interrelation between the secondary texts, such as, hadith, that is, narratives of the prophet and Sunnah, that is, prophet’s biography. Patriarchal exegesis is often due to application of these secondary texts. Secondary texts were highly regarded among religious scholars and state elites. Many pre-Islamic arab, byzantine, jewish and persian elements were included in the secondary texts. The secondary texts were influenced by social and cultural practices. In order to understand how Muslims produce religious meanings from the Quran one needs to identify the methodology used in reading the Quran and the secondary texts. For Muslims, Quran is the source of Truth and has practical applications in this world. ![]() The Quran was revealed through divine inspiration to prophet Muhammed over a period of years. They change the words from their right places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them. ![]() ![]() ![]() I've heard a few stories about Molly Keane, an Anglo-Irish author, who published her first book in 1926 at the age of seventeen. I still have a few more books to find, but here's the bulk of them. I already had a few books by her (she's a Virago author), so it didn't take much to fill out my collection. Not long ago I read something by Molly Keane and loved it. Well, I have a new author to add to the list. Now I am a little more systematic in how or in what order I want to read their work, and I like to supplement the reading with a biography or maybe criticism. ![]() These days its Daphne du Maurier, Rosamond Lehmann, Elizabeth Taylor along with a few others. Although I'm a little more selective now and I approach the reading a little differently, I still have authors whose work I want to read all of. If you look at my bookshelves you can see whole rows of books by single authors-Maraget Atwood, Elizabeth Berg, Diane Johnson, Sebastien Japrisot, Mary Wesley (especially Mary Wesley!).you get the idea. ![]() It's never been unusual for me to read a new author, really enjoy their work and then proceed to look for and read (or try and read) everything else I can find by them. ![]() ![]() The Americans return to the United States, but they meet again in Europe years later.

Individually, and especially taken as a whole, these stories amount to powerful proof that sexual violence and discrimination are never just one-time occurrences, but part of a constant battle women and non-binary people face every day. Recounting her experiences with gender-based discrimination, unsolicited groping, and sexual violence-beginning in childhood, through the present-Woods lays out clear and unflinching vignettes that build in intensity as the number of times grows.

I sometimes feel that birders get so carried away with listing, that they forget why they ever came to love birds in the first place. I don’t think they would understand why someone would want to go to the landfill just to see a Mexican Crow. His adventures are interesting, but I don’t know if a non-birder would want to read about them. He never spent money on lodging so if he didn’t have friends to stay with, he slept outside. He hitchhiked everywhere he went and lived very cheaply. Many people dream of traveling to such a variety of birding hot spots, but most of us cannot because of the cost! But Kaufman didn’t have money. He visited the Florida Keys, Alaska, the East, the West, and everywhere in between. He spent the entire year doing nothing but travel. Kaufman traveled all over the continent, strategically planning out trips that would allow him to see the most species possible. ![]() This is Kaufman’s memoir, which chronicles the events of 1973 when he undertook the task of seeing 600+ species of birds in North America, all within the timeframe of one calendar year. Most birders are familiar with Kenn Kaufman’s nature guides, but this book is different.
