A popular saying in Maine was "You're always from away," and yet Lewiston's citizens were having trouble adjusting to this latest group of immigrants from far away. Longtime residents of Lewiston were uncomfortable with people whose language, religion and customs were markedly different. Lewiston, overwhelmingly white, became the home base for thousands of Somali refugees. One Goal is the story of a high school soccer team in Lewiston, Maine, that helped bring together a racially divided city. This is the fourth book for Bass, who is director of the honors program and a professor of history at the College of New Rochelle in New York. Today we are joined by Amy Bass, author of the book One Goal: A Coach, A Team, and the Game that Brought a Divided Town Together (Hachette Books, 2018).

He watches them from afar, hoping he can break their family.Īideen's instincts to protect her own are stronger than ever. Without even trying, he ruins things and causes problems. Neither of them talk about it, but the shadow's lingering presence casts doubt over their relationship.īig Phil worked his way into their minds many weeks ago and rooted himself as the haunting figure. They're both caught up with the expected arrival of their little one, but in the back of their minds is a shadow that won't fade away. He just has to survive a few more weeks of murderous hormonal outbursts, and all will be well. Little does he know that Aideen is both literally and figuratively a ticking time bomb. He is about to become a father for the first time with the woman he loves. She is at her wits' end with her eon long pregnancy, her new-found paranoia, but mostly she is fed up with her boyfriend's constant hovering and nit-picking. *Book #3.5 in the Slater Brothers series.*Īideen Collins is fed up. Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Clarke, was considered one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime. He has works published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System (lacking only an entry in the 100s category of Philosophy).Īsimov is widely considered a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Professor Asimov is generally considered one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. Isaac Asimov was a Russian-born, American author, a professor of biochemistry, and a highly successful writer, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books. > df = pd.DataFrame()ĬODE - Throws error as expected > pd.to_datetime(df, format = '%d-%m-%Y')įile "/home/vishnudev/anaconda3/envs/sumyag/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pandas/core/tools/datetimes.py", line 448, in _convert_listlike_datetimes There are multiple intuition techniques that you can apply to your data, like, if the data is originated from the United States, the common date format is MM/DD/YYYY or if India it is DD-MM-YY. So, the key here is verifying the dataset and it's origins. Now just by looking at the date can you say exactly what date it is? The answer is no, because, unless you know how the date is formatted or how the date was created i.e whether Day-Month-Year or Month-Day-Year, you can't really say whether the above date is 1st February 2020 or 2nd January 2020. It seems he’s done a decent amount of research about Constantinople’s fraught history, and while this does seem to have some basis in real life, this work looks at a siege from a more literary point of view, and focuses more on the people in and around the city rather than on the battles and bloodshed. Overall, I did like this book, though it didn’t totally blow my mind like I wanted it to.Īll the differing settings are really well described-it’s clear Doerr is an experienced, talented writer. I’ve heard really good things about this author’s previous work All the Light We Cannot See, so when I got this (really rather long) ARC, I thought I’d better give him a try. All of these characters are touched by a certain story, the ancient myth of magic and mystery and whimsy called Cloud Cuckoo Land, and through these words and through their own unique experiences, they try to make sense of the world. In Cloud Cuckoo Land, we follow several different characters from several different times and settings: there’s Anna and Omeir from Constantinople in the 15th century, Zeno and Seymour in 2020 America, and Konstance a couple generations in our future on a starship heading for a new planet. Davis critically investigates the word “tomboy,” but lauds the ideas and ideals it represents.ĭavis talks to experts from clothing designers to psychologists, historians, neuroscientists, and tomboys from 8 to 80, to illuminate debates about what is masculine and feminine what is biological versus socially constructed what constitutes the categories of boy and girl and the connection between tomboyism, gender identity, and sexuality. It looks at tomboyism from a Victorian ideal to a twenty-first century fashion statement, chronicling the evolution of the pink/blue divide what motivates those who cross or straddle it to gender independence and the incredible people they grow up to be. TOMBOY is a revealing dive into the forces that have shifted and narrowed our ideas of what’s normal for boys and girls, and for kids who don’t fall neatly into either category. Inspired by several of her viral op-eds for The New York Times, Lisa Selin Davis’s TOMBOY: The Surprising History and Future of Girls Who Dare to Be Different explores the history, and imagines the future, of girls who defy societal expectations based on their gender. Maybe Lucy Hutton doesn’t hate Joshua Templeman. So why is she suddenly having steamy dreams about Joshua, and dressing for work like she’s got a hot date? After a perfectly innocent elevator ride ends with an earth-shattering kiss, Lucy starts to wonder whether she’s got Joshua Templeman all wrong. If Lucy wins this game, she’ll be Joshua’s boss. Lucy can’t let Joshua beat her at anything-especially when a huge new promotion goes up for the taking. Trapped in a shared office together 40 (OK, 50 or 60) hours a week, they’ve become entrenched in an addictive, ridiculous never-ending game of one-upmanship. Everyone except for coldly efficient, impeccably attired, physically intimidating Joshua Templeman. She’s charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone at Bexley & Gamin. Lucy Hutton has always been certain that the nice girl can get the corner office. Nemesis (n.) 1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome.

All names reference something zombie/apocalyptic/survival related. As of May 15, 81 people across 18 states have been infected with P. Indeed, it may no longer be possible-or socially acceptable-for these forms to coexist in America. Horwitz grappled with the dark side of Confederate memory, and no author since has achieved what he did: showing how Americans experience this memory and public history in many forms, from nightmarish to comic. Twenty-one years later, we still live in the shadow of the Civil War. More than any book before or since, it exposed how our country’s ongoing fascination with the Civil War was as troubling as it was entertaining, and it brought reenacting and reenactors to the forefront of that conversation. Horwitz’s 1998 book, Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War, had a profound impact on American popular culture, public history, and on my own personal and professional life. Like many of my friends and colleagues, I’ve been reflecting on the work of journalist Tony Horwitz, who died suddenly on May 27th. The author reading Confederates in the Attic, about 2002. By the 1990s, the major comics publishers had adopted a similar business model when they began to put a disproportionate amount of labor into the covers of their books, consequently neglecting the stories and art inside. In a sense, Gold Key was simply a company ahead of its time. They managed to keep a STAR TREK comic in print for almost a decade, a feat that even Marvel and DC haven't been able to pull off. The publisher seemed to believe kids would buy anything as long as it had their favorite characters on the cover and, looking back at how long they made this business strategy work, they might not have been wrong. Even as a child it was obvious to me that the company was letting its licensed properties do all the heavy lifting. Gold Key was a comicbook publisher that never made much sense to me as a child. |
