Her legal name was Lauren Oya Olamina Bankole. And she needed large events to manipulate. In spite of all her protests and denials, she’s always needed devoted, obedient followers-disciples-who would listen to her and believe everything she told them. I think that would please her, if she could know about it. As she searches for answers about her own past, she also struggles to reconcile with the legacy of a mother caught between her duty to her chosen family and her calling to lead humankind into a better future. Years later, Asha Vere reads the journals of a mother she never knew, Lauren Olamina. The fledgling community provides refuge for outcasts facing persecution after the election of an ultra-conservative president who vows to “make America great again.” In an increasingly divided and dangerous nation, Lauren’s subversive colony–a minority religious faction led by a young black woman–becomes a target for President Jarret’s reign of terror and oppression. In 2032, Lauren Olamina has survived the destruction of her home and family, and realized her vision of a peaceful community in northern California based on her newly founded faith, Earthseed. Originally published in 1998, this shockingly prescient novel’s timely message of hope and resistance in the face of fanaticism is more relevant than ever.

The variety is astounding." -The Daily Telegraph "An inspiring delight and great resource for those who cherish all things botany." -Emily Thompson, Emily Thompson Flowers "The side by side juxtapositions of images here are brilliant.

With an emphasis on its potential to mediate between textual and cultural criticism, Wood adapts the methodology of genetic criticism to examine an extensive gathering of sources, ranging from Woolf's reading notes, research scrapbooks, holograph and typescript drafts, manuscripts, and proofs to her diaries, essays, and correspondence. For Wood, genetic criticism not only provides a means to investigate the under-studied pre-publication materials of Woolf's late works, but also calls for engagement with the historical and socio-cultural circumstances that shaped their composition. Alice Wood's Virginia Woolf's Late Cultural Criticism: The Genesis of ‘The Years’, ‘Three Guineas’ and ‘Between the Acts’ takes afresh approach to Virginia Woolf's last three major works, synthesizing “feminist-historicist” analysis with genetic criticism. In the process, he carefully crafted his own persona, portrayed it in public, and polished it for posterity. America's first great publicist, he was consciously trying to create a new American archetype. The most interesting thing that Franklin invented, and continually reinvented, was himself. In Benjamin Franklin, Isaacson shows how Franklin defines both his own time and ours. In bestselling author Walter Isaacson's vivid and witty full-scale biography, we discover why Franklin turns to us from history's stage with eyes that twinkle from behind his new-fangled spectacles. Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us - an ambitious urban entrepreneur who rose up the social ladder, from leather-aproned shopkeeper to dining with kings. The Under The Skin novel is written in sparse prose but features far more explanation than the movie ever provides. Under The Skin was based on a 2000 novel by author Michel Faber that's set in Scotland, but while the book and movie sound similar on the surface, there are many differences. Johansson received praise for her performance, as did director Jonathan Glaser for crafting such a haunting but poetic film. The movie reinforces the alien nature of its protagonist and how she experiences the world around her. Under The Skin is tonally the complete opposite, however. Species is a fun, pulpy b-movie with a surprisingly classy supporting cast, including Alfred Molina, Forest Whitaker and Ben Kingsley, but spawned a range of sleazy sequels. The novel “recalls the humorous and heartfelt short stories of George Saunders, the metafictional high jinks of Mark Leyner, and films like The Truman Show” ( New York Times). Consigned to bit roles in the background of a procedural cop show, he dreams of playing Kung Fu Guy, the most respected role that anyone who looks like him can attain-or so he has always been told. It tells the story of Willis Wu, who has only ever been cast as the Generic Asian Man. Winner of the 2020 National Book Award for Fiction, the novel is "a moving exploration of race and assimilation" ( San Francisco Chronicle), "both rollicking entertainment and scathing commentary" ( Booklist), and "a parable for outcasts feeling invisible in this fast-moving world" ( Kirkus Reviews). Charles Yu’s critically acclaimed second novel Interior Chinatown is “satire at its best, a shattering and darkly comic send-up of racial stereotyping in Hollywood…presented, perfectly, in the sharply hewed format of a screenplay” ( Vanity Fair). The New York Times Book Review called Mo “the biggest new talent to emerge thus far in the 00's." In addition to such picture books as Leonardo the Terrible Monster, Edwina the Dinosaur Who Didn’t Know She Was Extinct, and Time to Pee, Mo has created the Elephant and Piggie books, a series of early readers, and published You Can Never Find a Rickshaw When it Monsoons, an annotated cartoon journal sketched during a year-long voyage around the world in 1990-91. #1 New York Times Bestselling author and illustrator Mo Willems is best known for his Caldecott Honor winning picture books Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and Knuffle Bunny: a cautionary tale.

But even more so, it is her focus: She focuses entirely on the first group, the traits that are true of God alone. Partly it is audience, since her book is written by a woman for women. These attributes have already been the subject of many books, with luminaries like Charnock, Pink, Sproul, and Tozer writing excellent works on them. In the second group, communicable attributes, they place holy, loving, just, merciful, and so on. In the first group, his incommunicable attributes, they place infinite, incomprehensible, eternal, omnipotent, and several more. Theologians tend to make two lists of attributes, dividing them by those that are unique to God and those that he has given to other creatures. God’s attributes are his traits, his qualities.
