![]() ![]() ![]() But since I was on a just-go-on-and-pick-em-up kick today, I pre-ordered this one as well. Royal Airs by Sharon Shinn doesn’t come out till early November. So, if I picked up the Cold Magic trilogy late, what is the single title I picked up the earliest? I’d have turned one of these face-out on my shelves to display the cover, but I guess now I won’t. Because those covers are really pretty.Īll that swirly stuff going on is very nice. Now that I have bought this trilogy on Kindle, though, I sort of regret not buying the paper copies. Or I will when I get home and turn on my Kindle’s internet connection. However, I now have the complete trilogy. I know, I was not exactly fast off the mark in picking up Cold Steel, but since I hadn’t read the first couple, I didn’t feel much need to rush out and grab the third. Cold Magic, Cold Fire, and Cold Steel by Kate Elliot. ![]() ![]() ![]() The main output was a database with one thousand entries (basic information about communist militants), extracted mostly from cadre files held the National Archives of Romania.

John Henry's most legendary feat is his battle against the steam drill. "From his momentous birth, when all the animals come to see him and the sun won't go to bed, John Henry works wonders," noted the 1994 Publishers Weekly review of this book that earned watercolor artist Jerry Pinkney a 1995 Caldecott Honors Award.Īs a child, John Henry helps his father by adding ``a wing onto the house with an indoor swimming pool and one of them jacutzis''-and that's just before lunch. ![]() Two remarkable artists - writer Julius Lester and illustrator Jerry Pinkney - combined their talents to create his memorable retelling of the story of African American folk hero John Henry. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’d much rather have a stylized take on a licensed property than see an artist twisting himself into knots trying to produce a photo-realistic take on the characters. Grist’s style is full of big, bold lines and cartoony flourishes which is my preference when we’re talking about licensed properties. Firstly, the artwork from Grist is a joy to behold. If the story is a bit slight, it’s redeemed totally by a couple of factors. The comic is a 22 page (almost) dialogue-less tale wherein by happenstance, The Doctor runs into a platoon of robots attacking Father Christmas.Īfter engaging the robots in combat, Santa’s reindeer are too hurt to fly, leading to The Doctor to offer a different means of conveyance to deliver all of the holiday presents. ![]() This is one of the rare comics in the Christmas Comics Cavalcade that I paid full price for upon its release!

It's the perfect setting for a dark crime thriller - just walking down the street is an attack on the senses. ![]() Macau is dark and loud and lonely and expensive. The restaurants all play the same style of downtempo house. The nightclubs host famous rappers and superstar DJs. The casinos are constantly blasting classic Sinatra. ![]() For those of you who have never been, let me fill you in - Macau is like Las Vegas on pure Chinese meth. I lived there briefly while researching the book and was taken aback by the incredibly eclectic sounds of the city. My new novel, Vanishing Games, is a heist thriller set in the gambling city of Macau, China. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a point that bears repeating, says Florida Atlantic University’s Brett Laursen, editor in chief of the International Journal of Behavioral Development : “There is a massive gap between being friended and friendless,” he says, and “studies that are as close to causation as you can get” show that becoming friendless produces a meaningful decline in mental health. Students with no friends “receive lower grades and are less academically engaged compared to those with even just one friend,” reported Jaana Juvonen, a psychology professor at UCLA, and her colleagues in a 2019 issue of the journal Educational Psychologist. Second, friendships in elementary school can be harnessed to drive academic growth. First, social-emotional benefits and academic ones don’t operate in isolation. Yet recent research has confirmed two things many teachers have long believed to be true. ![]() Even when the value of strong social ties gained recognition, friendships stood to the side conceptually, as developmentally important but not germane to academics. Through that lens, friends in elementary school appeared to be a negative, an impediment to focus and a catalyst for disruption. ![]() For years, education research focused on time-on-task as a measure of effective instruction, says Scott Gest, a professor at the University of Virginia. ![]() |
