This time he’s getting off the train in Butte, MT having spent the intervening ten years in Tasmania. In the next book, Work Song, we catch up with Morrie again in 1919. Morrie ends up teaching for the year in the one room schoolhouse, where he changes most every student’s life. The headline of her newspaper advertisement-“Can’t cook but doesn’t bite.” (wordsmith Morrie’s idea)-had caught their collective eye. The plot begins, immediately thickening, as Rose introduces Morrie as her brother (a convenient switch from in-law) to the widower Milliron and his three sons who have hired her as housekeeper. In The Whistling Season, we first meet Morrie in 1909, as he alights from the train near Marias Coulee, a tiny Montana hamlet, with his deceased brother’s wife Rose. This is not the real-life story of a Western legend, but it sure feels like it should be. Part charmer, part encyclopedia, part big city con artist escaped to the frontier, Morrie Morgan (aka Morgan Llewellyn) is a lovable rascal, not above stretching the law even as he wins the hearts of his K-8 ranch kid students, his landlady, a motley band of union copper miners, a librarian with a past, and his readers. It is part three of the saga of Morrie Morgan who readers follow as he cuts a swath across the Montana plains. I scooped up Ivan Doig’s latest, Sweet Thunder,as soon as I discovered it had come out in late summer.

7/6/2023 0 Comments The iron widowShe will miss no opportunity to leverage their combined might and infamy to survive attempt after attempt on her life, until she can figure out exactly why the pilot system works in its misogynist way-and stop more girls from being sacrificed. But now that Zetian has had a taste of power, she will not cower so easily. To tame her unnerving yet invaluable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest and most controversial male pilot in Huaxia. She is labeled an Iron Widow, a much-feared and much-silenced kind of female pilot who can sacrifice boys to power up Chrysalises instead. But she gets her vengeance in a way nobody expected-she kills him through the psychic link between pilots and emerges from the cockpit unscathed. When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot, it's to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death. It doesn't matter that the girls often die from the mental strain. The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls to pilot Chrysalises, giant transforming robots that can battle the mecha aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall. 7/6/2023 0 Comments Oklahoma by richard rodgersOf all the great makers of the American song, none has undergone so drastic a change in educated-O.K., call it “élite”-opinion in the past twenty years as Hammerstein. (He was always the second, named after his grandfather, who, like most of his family, was a major figure in theatre, very much the family trade.) I refer to the lyricist and librettist Oscar Hammerstein, the author of “South Pacific” and “The King and I” and so many other musicals, who is now the subject of a just published, and fascinating, collection of letters, “ The Letters Of Oscar Hammerstein II,” edited by Mark Eden Horowitz, from Oxford University Press. Having fit, or tried to, just about the whole history of English rhyme into a recent essay, I nonetheless left out a section about perhaps the most influential of all American rhymesters-who, ironically, had no particular gift or even interest in sound or in language for its own shimmering sake, and who basically hid his rhyme away. 7/6/2023 0 Comments Morphological and Cellular Aspects of Tail and Limb Regenerat... by Lorenzo AlibardiSeries Title Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. Book Subtitle A Model System With Implications for Tissue Regeneration in Mammals. The lizard model is usually neglected in the literature despite the fact that the lizard is an amniote with a basic histological structure similar to that of mammals, and it is therefore a better model than the salamander (an a- mniote) model to investigate regeneration issues. Book Title Morphological and Cellular Aspects of Tail and Limb Regeneration in Lizards. This condition offers a unique opportunity to study at the same time mechanisms that in different regions of the same animal control the success or failure of regeneration. Lizards represent the only amniotes that at the same time show successful organ regeneration, in the tail, and organ failure, in the limb (Marcucci 1930a, b Simpson 1961, 1970, 1983). Morphological and Cellular Aspects of Tail and Limb Regeneration in Lizards: A Model System With Implications for Tissue Regeneration. The term “regeneration” is intended here as “the ability of an adult organism to recover damaged or completely lost body parts or organs.” The process of recovery is further termed “restitutive regeneration” when the lost part is reformed and capable of performing the complete or partial physiological activity performed by the original, lost body part. The present review covers a very neglected field in regeneration studies, namely, tissue and organ regeneration in reptiles, especially represented by the lizard model of regeneration. The best biography of Richard III that has been written.

It is a well-researched and more complete history of the trend of American women marrying into aristocracy, complete with a bibliography and index. The Husband Hunters: American Heiresses Who Married Into The British Aristocracy (2017) by Anne de Courcy This book features vignettes throughout that give glimpses into court life, fabulous balls, wardrobes needed and the often-dreary life as an English wife, and the responsibility to provide an heir and a spare. Follow the tales of Conseulo Vanderbilt and Jeannie Chamberlain and other ladies who attracted royalty. Often, the American family paid dearly for the title in the form of a dowry to the royal who must keep up a castle or country home. This gossipy and entertaining book tells of the fair maidens who added a title like "Duchess" or "Lady" to their name. Silly me! I married for love! It has worked out for 37 years, so I guess I’m lucky! I didn’t know that in the 1800s and early 1900s it was fashionable to send your daughters who hadn’t attracted a suitable mate in America across the sea!

How can she search them when he is there? Similarly, she becomes very invested in getting the duke out of his rooms. If she cannot rely on them to be about their assigned tasks, anyone might walk in on her when she is searching. Olivia dislikes the slovenly way the house is kept but she has an ulterior motive for putting the staff back to proper work. Without a firm hand, the remaining staff members are pretty much doing their own thing. He had a rather profound psychiatric reaction and has become a recluse – he doesn’t even leave his rooms anymore and is prone to violent tempers which has left him short-staffed. She is most surprised to find herself installed as housekeeper with a household in disarray.įollowing the death of his wife, Alistair found out she had cuckolded him with multiple men (one of them Bertram) and this added rage to grief. Olivia wishes for safety and she hopes that working for Marwick will give her the ammunition she needs to achieve it. Apparently, Lord Bertram, for reasons that are unclear for most of the book (which is fine), wishes Olivia dead. In Fool Me Twice, Olivia Halliday applies for a position of maid in the household of the Duke of Marwick, Alistair de Grey in order to sneak about and locate certain (she hopes) incriminating information regarding a common enemy, Lord Bertram. |
