Trắc Nghiệm Khách Quan Vật Lý 12 - Tái bản 01/08/2008 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

It's clear that Spider-Man: Reign echoes a post-9/11 world, if not a blatant observation of the Bush Administration following the terrorist attacks and the war against terrorism. Much like the promises of a madman from Texas to make our country safe, Mayor Waters promises New York protection from super-terrorists. The only cost for this freedom is the citizens' freedom and civil rights - the guy even goes as far as canceling the electoral process until his job is done (which, I wouldn't have put it passed Bush to do the very same thing). So while making a Utopia, Waters manages to create the ultimate Dystopia. And who can save the city from itself? Why none other than the friendly neighborhood florist. Peter Parker finds himself as an elderly man working at a flower shop. His glory days are over. He is a widow. Retired from fighting crime. Slowly awaiting death. On the night he is fired, he witnesses a teenager beaten by the Reign - a military police force that now holds the law in New York. Helpless to come to the aid of the teenager, Parker turns his back on the scene and goes home, where an old friend comes to see him. Even the aging J. Jonah Jameson can put aside old grudges against his former employee and scandal maker. Jonah urges the retired hero to take the mask again and save the city from those in charge because he fears that something much darker lurks in Waters' shadow. Something only a spider can overcome. Kaare Andrews brings us the Marvel equivalent to The Dark Knight Returns, showing us that no matter how old we get, a hero still lives within us all. It's probably the best graphic novel I've read this summer - outmatching The Age of Apocalypse arc. The art is haunting and the storytelling echoes with genius - the character voices just pop into the reader's head (I wasn't even trying to give them voices, it just happened). Let's not forget that this by far the most political graphic novel I've read since Watchmen. It's a must for Spider-Man fans everywhere and a great read for those literary nuts out there (myself included).

Gấu Xù Kể Chuyện - Ngỗng Già Thông Minh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Duy K.AT

The plot goes thusly: the small West-Virginian town of Grantville is displaced in time and place from the year 2000 to the year 1632, essentially dumping them in the middle of the Holy Roman Empire in the midst of the Thirty Years War, one of the most bloody conflicts in European history. And it is awesome. The West Virginians don't try to pretend that they're sorcerers or anything: they're just brutally honest. And maintain their American values. They quickly take charge of their own situation and decide to help out the German refugees of the area, with awesome results. The author is a trained historian, I believe, and this is the kind of book I would love to write if I had that kind of knowledge of 17th century politics and society. The reactions of characters from both sides just seem so REAL. Little details, like the fact that the Americans win most skirmishes mostly due to sheer rate of fire, that 17th century men have bad teeth, and that visual details about a modern person would "read" differently to a 17th century person are just awesome. For instance, take this scene from the middle of the book in which the citizens of Grantville have just made an alliance with the men of a nearby German town against the invading Catholic army, where Jeff, a slightly overweight nerdy D&D enthusiast who is acting as a scout and messenger, is just leaving on his motorbike: "A moment later, Jeff was roaring off. He made it a point to do a wheelie as he passed a small group of young men standing by the road. The local toughs, by their looks. They were suitably impressed - not so much by the acrobatics of the machine as the ferocious scowl on the face of the very large man who rode it. That, and the odd but deadly looking weapon slung over his shoulder [a sawed-off shotgun]. Jeff would have been quite shocked - and utterly pleased - had he known the impression he made on those bravos. They saw nothing of a shy young man in his leather-jacketed form. Just a killer. The fact that he wore spectacles made him seem all the more dangerous. The better to see his victims, no doubt." The characters are engaging and have a refreshing pragmatism. They don't go messing about like a lot of other fantasy/timetravel characters I've read about. They get down to business, and follow their (American) ideals, which include things like equality for women and freedom of religion. They're also just plain badass. For instance, early in the book some men from the United Mine Workers of America (the local union, AKA the UMWA) go off to investigate some smoke, before they really realize what has happened to their town, and run across some mercenaries having their way with a farmer and his wife. The Americans, ah, take care of business, rescuing the injured and traumatized family. A few chapters later, a different set of mercenaries, Scotsmen on the other side, run across this placard planted on the top of what is clearly a mass grave: "WE DON'T KNOW WHO THESE MURDERING RAPING BASTARDS ARE THAT WE PUT HERE. DON'T MUCH CARE EITHER. IF THERE ARE ANY MORE OF YOU OUT THERE, BE WARNED. THIS AREA IS NOW UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE UMWA. IF YOU TRY TO HARM OR ROB ANYBODY WE WILL KILL YOU. THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER WARNING. WE WILL NOT NEGOTIATE. WE WILL NOT ARREST YOU. YOU WILL SIMPLY BE DEAD. WE GUARANTEE IT. GO AHEAD. TRY US." Then the Scottish mercenaries try to brush up on their Polish because they have no idea at all what "Umwa" means, but it sounds Polish to them. The seventeenth century characters are awesome too. There's an educated "jewess" who is one of the first to be rescued (and remains an awesome member of the American's elected assembly), an unwilling camp follower who was rescued by the Americans and becomes almost a spy/agent for them as an ardent supporter of 21st century women's rights, a young Scottish mercenary officer who visits a 21st century dentist before he starts wooing one of the Grantville cheerleaders because he feels self-conscious about his teeth, and, of course, there is King Gustavus Adolfus II, the Swedish King and head of the "good" guys' army, who is blustery and at first disbelieving but awesome. You're also treated to scenes of 17th century germans showing off their abilities to drive busses or use telephones to more recent arrivals in Grantville. Amongst the 21st century characters are that cheerleader mentioned above who becomes a crack sharpshooter (not as unlikely as it seems), and the school's history teacher, a former Civil Rights activist who was only working in this tiny West Virginian town because she was too radical to be hired in the big city where she used to live (although the townspeople didn't really learn this until they were writing up their new constitution.) Maybe I just like badass historians. ANYWAY... There are so many things to love about this book. If you like the following, GET THEE TO A BOOKSTORE POST-HASTE: -alternate universes -HISTORY, especially European history -a writer of historical fiction that understands that people in the past didn't do things like wear bras, understand democracy, have accurate guns or good teeth, etc. -political shenanigans in which racist bigots don't win -tactics that combine historical techniques with modern weaponry -characters who have personalities independent of their love interests -strong female characters who have personalities independent of their love interests, who sometimes have moments even more badass than the menfolk -badass scenes in which the 17th century people actually demonstrate that the people of the 21st century actually DO have things to learn from the past.
