![]() ![]() ![]() Eustatius in providing the first salute that recognized the United States as a belligerent in the American Revolution. The title of this book springs from the importance of the “golden rock” of St. Given the fact that it is hard to say something about the American Revolution that has not been said thousands of times before, this effort demonstrates that Tuchman had something new and worthwhile to say and was able to put it in a way that allows readers fond of her detail-heavy narrative historical approach (myself included) to enjoy a refreshing account of the importance of diplomacy and logistics to the study of the American revolution. ![]() Whether or not this book is enough to qualify Tuchman as an Atlantic historian a la Bailyn is unclear, but this book certainly makes a case for Tuchman’s awareness of the importance of the Atlantic world–not only the English but also the French and especially the Dutch–to the ability of America’s rebels to withstand the military might of the (not very) United Kingdom. I must say that I was rather impressed with this book, not least in the way that Tuchman managed to demonstrate the importance of the Caribbean and its role in the trade nodes that connected continental North America to Europe in the successful efforts of the United States to gain its independence in the American Revolution. The First Salute: A View Of The American Revolution, by Barbara W. ![]() ![]() ![]() One night, Bryce gets ghosted through text by Danika, which is unlike her, so she heads to her bestie’s place and finds her and the rest of the group killed. This also could prove dangerous in her recent task given to her by her store colleague, Jesiba, which includes finding an ancient Fae relic, known as Luna’s Horn, which was recently stolen. Bryce has human qualities instilled in her, so her power will not be as strong as Danika’s and could lead her to danger. In part one, we also learn that Danika and Bryce are not yet fully immortal, but hope to become so when they turn 27. Once Briggs is taken out of prison, Danika decides that it’s time to meet with Micah and see what’s up with that.Īfter this, we learn that not only Micah rules the city, but there are other heads of different districts that also assist him. Danika and Bryce are dealing with Philip Briggs, a villainous entity, who was caught by Danika’s pack trying to blow up a nightclub to ignite the war between humans and vanir, the creatures with magic and lengthy lives. ![]() By signing up you agree to our terms of useĪlso, in Crescent City, different packs and groups rule and there is a definite strain obvious between different creatures that reside there. ![]() Thank you for signing up!

Pontus Stenshäll is an actor, a director and the artistic leader of Göteborgs Stadsteater (Gothenburg City Theatre). In the novel we follow his labyrinthine trail through an absurd legal system. It was first published after his death, in 1925, and it’s about Joseph K who wakes up one morning and is arrested with no explanation of what he is accused of. Lasse Beischer portrays Joseph K.įranz Kafka (1883-1924) wrote Processen ( The Trial) around 1914-15. It will be funny, claustrophobic and absurd when the discussion concerning society’s power over the individual is taken to the utmost point. ![]() Instead of working at a bank, Joseph K is now a theatre director – and when the guards rush in, breaking into a rehearsal, the story becomes just as nightmarish as the novel. When does the improbable become likely, when is the unreasonable sensible? Pontus Stenshäll grapples with Franz Kafka’s world famous novel Processen ( The Trial), lifting the story onstage. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is something most flight attendants have strong feelings about, and many senior mamas like to tell horror stories about in-room coffee pots being used to rinse pantyhose, among other things.

So belatedly, sheepishly, but sincerely, I say, MARAMING SALAMAT, Anselm! Without Anselm's interest, I may never have written the actual poems but might just have continued blathering about its underlying concept. Until editing AGAINST MISANTHROPY, I'd forgotten about Anselm's role in 147 MILLION ORPHANS. Without Anselm Berrigan, the 147 MILLION ORPHANS might not exist. I respect both Anselm and The Rail and so wanted to respond to the solicitation. But I was mostly relishing its concept, and only wrote its first few poems after Anselm Berrigan solicited me for The Brooklyn Rail. ![]() I blogged for months about 147 MILLION ORPHANS because I just loved the idea of using my son’s words that he learned over the course of a schoolyear. To wit, here's an excerpt from the book:Īn example relates to 147 MILLION ORPHANS, a “haybun” which is a form that combines hay(na)ku and other text.I’m excited about 147 MILLION ORPHANS partly because each word forming a hay(na)ku is taken chronologically from an 8 th grade project by my son who was charged to learn English partly by studying 25 new words a week. And finishing up my experimental biography manuscript, AGAINST MISANTHROPY, reminded me that one of my ideas became reality only because of Anselm Berrigan.
