Tro Tàn Trong Gió - Tập 2 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

I was interested in finding out more about the New Madrid earthquake fault and this book was recommended. The author wrote it about 100 years after the earthquake of 1811-12, so he had to depend a lot on the observations of the few people who had written them down. There were also not many people west of the Mississippi at that time, so any results there were virtually ignored. On top of all that, the author did this research and wrote this book for the government. Dry doesn't half describe the writing style. Nevertheless, I found it informative and interesting, particularly at the beginning and the end. The beginning lists many of the observations of people who had witnessed the on-going earthquakes of 1811 and 1812, amongst whom was the famous Audubon. The end included stories about the Mississippi and being on the river when the quakes occurred. Both were eye-opening. If (when?) we get more earthquakes like the ones of 1811-12, the more greatly populated areas will result in disaster.

Bố Mẹ Yên Tâm Con Làm Được - Chúng Mình Là Một Đội Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

The end of the world as we know it is one of the greatest fears we have. Having everything we know and love taken away is a powerful fear and one that is far too real and horrific for young Ben. Victor Kelleher has constructed a terrifying glimpse into an Australia without laws and government; a world where children must fight for their survival. Taronga (1986) is a very confronting and thought provoking view of Australia after the post-apocalyptic, ‘Last Days’. Taronga is the story of a young boy named Ben who has a very unusual power; he can talk to and control animals which he refers to as ‘Calling’. For Ben life as an orphan in a ruined Australia is a difficult task especially as he must manipulate innocent animals in order to survive. He grows to hate this gift and so flees from his brutal life in the Blue Mountains to a better one in his old home of Sydney. What he finds is far from the warm memories of his family home. Ben arrives to Sydney only to find it in ruins and surrounded by desperate people doing desperate things to live. His gift drives him on to the Taronga Zoo where he must use his power to protect the animals, himself, other survivors and his new found friend Ellie. Whilst protected from the outside by the great walls of Taronga Ben faces new dangers from the survivors and most of all a fierce and angry tiger appropriately named Raja. Raja, meaning ‘king’, will not stand down to another as their slave; he is strong willed and powerful and is not afraid to show it. This imposing figure that dominates Taronga is one that will gladly take Ben’s life if he isn’t careful. Kelleher has woven together the most wondrous and confronting moments of a destroyed world into this book. The beauty and danger of this world drives you deeper into your greatest fears as Ben faces danger around every corner and an enemy in every face. Whilst the end of the world is a common theme in literature it is rare to see a book that can show the repercussions with such power and vivacity. This is not the only post apocalyptic story that Kelleher has written nor is it the only one set in Australia as seen in The Other (2001) and Red Heart (2001). The defining difference in Taronga is that Kelleher focused on the power and control of animals and also on captivity. There are many layers of captivity that Kelleher explores in this book that spread out through the characters and locations. Ben himself is a captive of his own power because he does not like to force the animals to obey him and yet is forced to in order to protect himself. This branches out to the captivity of the animals, the enclosed Taronga, the cut off world of Sydney and even further into the remoteness of Ben’s original captivity in the Blue Mountains. The varying level of captivity and control begs the question all through the book; who has the right to control another and to what means? Kelleher constantly changes the way you think about the characters as well as your feelings towards Ben’s situation. The elements in the book are so interwoven that you cannot help but find yourself feeling helpless at one moment and in another hopeful for Ben’s happiness. There are many correlations with other children’s literature such as books by John Marsden and in particular Tomorrow, When the War Began (1993). This idea of children surviving at all cost where adults cannot is an uplifting component of both books and is very must an element of Australian identity. There is nothing more common in Australian literature and effective than an unlikely hero or an underdog. In not only Taronga but the majority of Kelleher’s books the unlikely heroes are children and young adults that face challenges no everyday child ever would. This has such a strong effect on the identity of Australian literature and is what makes it so interesting to read. It is the essence of the child hero that makes Taronga a book that can be enjoyed by any age group and gender. Young boys and girls will find themselves wishing they could have the same adventures as Ellie and Ben, whilst adults will wonder at the complexity and beauty of their struggle. Kelleher has managed to pack so many exciting and intriguing elements into one book that can be enjoyed by anyone. It provides a dark and provoking look at where Australia and the world can end up as well as the hope held in the children that will inherit it. Truly Taronga is a book that can and will be loved on many different levels. It is a must read for all lovers of Australian literature.

Wow... I wasn't going to pick up this book because I figured it was some love struck girl...finding love...losing love... etc etc. (I had no clue what the book was about even with all the hype) Then I turned it over...zombies? Totally not my genre..while I love a good paranormal zombies aren't my thing. Then I opened up the book and something funny caught my eye. Can't tell you what it was now, but I finished this book in a couple of hours. It flew and I was very entertained. It was funny in some places...gross in others...but made zombies actually seem cool! (Yeah I was a geek in high school too) I laughed and I cried...no I didn't cry..almost peed my pants during the whole Jonah and the duct tape bit.. I have got to have the next one... Except for the innuendo of sex a couple times....pretty tame book.. Read it..Laugh...Enjoy.. and wait for book 2.....

What I learned from this book was to hate myself and be ashamed of loving women. It wasn't until "Patience and Sarah" Isabel Miller's 1972 landmark lesbian novel which depicts a love affair between two women in early 19th-century New England, that I saw positive role models for lesbians.

Những Tấm Lòng Cao Cả - Bản Mới 2011 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Kay Redfield Jamison writes about her own journey because of her manic depressive disease and of her care of others who suffer from the disease. (She is a well trained psychologist.) It is interesteing to read this just before all the sad news about Charlie Scheen and have some recognition and understanding of what he is enduring. Also it is amazing to learn how many of our population are troubled by diseases affecting the brain. Though I did not need to know about the prowness of her various sexual partners, I did appreciate the author's candid telling of her fears and hopes. The book is basically an uplifting one because of the wonders of medication and because of the new understanding the public is beginning to have of depression, anxiety and other related diseases. Jamssison prefers the term "manic depressive" rather than "bi-polar." Near the conclusion of the memoir, Jamison writes: "After each seeming death within my mind or heart, love has returned to re-create hope and to restore life. It has, at its best, made the inherent sadness of life bearable, and its beauty manifest. It has, inexplicably and savingly, provided not only cloak but lantern for the darker seasons and grimmer weather." I do redommend this book
