![]() Driven by questions about how overfishing, coastal development, and climate change were contributing to a jellyfish population explosion, Juli embarked on a scientific odyssey. Recent, massive blooms of billions of jellyfish have clogged power plants, decimated fisheries, and caused millions of dollars of damage. More than a decade ago, Juli Berwald left a career in ocean science to raise a family in landlocked Austin, Texas, but jellyfish drew her back to the sea. Yet until recently, jellyfish were largely ignored by science, and they remain among the most poorly understood of ocean dwellers. Made of roughly 95 percent water, some jellies are barely perceptible virtuosos of disguise, while others glow with a luminescence that has revolutionized biotechnology. Their sting-microscopic spears that pierce with five million times the acceleration of gravity-is the fastest known motion in the animal kingdom. They make a venom so toxic it can kill a human in three minutes. Jellyfish have been swimming in our oceans for well over half a billion years, longer than any other animal that lives on the planet. Berwald's engaging account of these delicate, often ignored creatures shows how much they matter to our oceans' future." - New York Times Book Review is a significant part of the environmental story.

For me, finding Schmitz was like seeing my first Siamese cat (a cat with blue eyes!), my first female bus driver, my first female police officer: YES, WE CAN! Schmitz treats women like regular people he doesn't linger lovingly over their clothing or appearance he doesn't put them into bunny slippers he doesn't make them want babies they just go about their business. People are always going on about Heinlein's heroines: but his female space engineers still do the dishes. As far as I can make out, James Schmitz is never given enough credit for his greatest accomplishment: writing in the 1950s stories that include women as competent human beings and equal partners. ![]() ![]() But as the two men get to know each other, it becomes clear that the heart often knows best, and it rewards those willing to listen. ![]() ![]() He’s exactly what David needs-in more ways than one.ĭavid isn’t ready for his attraction to Jackson, not considering the way his last relationship ended. I loved the chemistry between David and Jackson, steamy hot and flirty fun. I loved the banter between David and his best friend Michael, absolutely hilarious. More chemistry, hotter bedroom scenes and more humor. Determined to persevere, Jackson takes odd jobs as a handyman. It was the second book by Diana Copland I’ve read and it’s my favorite so far. However, his hometown still has an active “good old boy” network, and finding employment in construction is almost impossible for an openly gay man.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 August 2022 Verified Purchase I love Anne Tyler and have read almost all of her books but I was disappointed with this one. Helpful Report abuse Amazon Customer Not up to her usual standard. Tyler’s achievement in this witty and moving novel is to show that no one explanation will ever do. French Braid may not be her absolute best, but I still enjoyed it enormously - so witty and wise. Was this the moment when things went wrong? ![]() David wades bravely in, panics and has to be fished out. On tiptoe with his new tall friend, he hectors his son to man up and be less afraid of the lake. Robin, a goofy seller of plumbing supplies, stands waist-deep in the lake discussing sewage with another paterfamilias. Mercy Garrett, upbeat and blithe, disappears into the forest with her acrylic paints, leaving Alice, the elder daughter, to worry about sexy, sulky Lily, who’s going too far with a louche college boy. We meet Serena’s ill-matched grandparents Robin and Mercy, their teenage daughters, Alice and Lily, and a younger son named David. The Garrett family’s failure to ‘gel’ is what is explored in Anne Tyler’s new novel, which zips back first of all to a summer holiday by a lake in 1959. She’s suddenly troubled by this and they quarrel on the train home. Her folks are thin on the ground and weirdly disconnected. A young woman called Serena spots a man in Philadelphia’s main station and says, ‘It might be my cousin Nicholas.’ Her boyfriend is incredulous: What? Doesn’t she know her own cousin by sight? What kind of family is this? His is large and warm. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sweeping from the courts of Paris to the perils of the Crusades, "Duchess of Aquitaine" gloriously illuminates the life of one of the most powerful, resourceful, and fascinating women in all of history. While her alliance to Louis VII may be a dazzling one, her husband is a cautious man whose wit and courage do not always match Eleanor's own, and she ultimately finds herself seeking an even greater match with Henry II of England. Everyone, that is, except her dying father, who insists on leaving Eleanor his most valuable provinces-and making her prey to the first baron who rides in to kidnap her.Įleanor, though, is not content to sit idly by and let herself become a victim, and devises a plan to marry the heir to the throne of France. ![]() For all of the duke's boasts that Eleanor has the brains of a man and the soul of a warrior, everyone knows that a girl of fifteen cannot possibly hold the richest dukedom in France.
