![]() O tym, że wcale nie każdy czuje się w domu u siebie.Īmanda Lee Koe pisze jednocześnie z pazurem i poetycko, zaczepia, żeby chwilę później wzruszyć. Historii – z różnych perspektyw, głosami tych, którzy zazwyczaj są uciszani. Społecznych problemach, o których nadal można mówić głośno tylko w formie literackiej zabawy. Niewidzialnych granicach między nami, które boimy się przekraczać. O miłości(ach): tych zapomnianych, przegranych, nieakceptowanych. Nic dziwnego – w każdym opowiadaniu autorka przekracza literackie normy, łamie społeczne tabu, żeby – koniec końców – napisać o tym, co w życiu najważniejsze. ![]() Debiut nagrodzony w 2014 roku Singapore Literature Prize for Fiction i Singapore Book Award w 2016 roku zachwycił wszystkich. ![]() Ministerstwo moralnej paniki to tytuł kultowy na singapurskiej scenie literackiej. ![]() Zbiór opowiadań queerowej singapurskiej pisarki Amandy Lee Koe w tłumaczeniu Mikołaja Denderskiego.

The trick works, the scared man hands over a bunch of red hundred RMB notes.

But the price of victory may be worse than the cost of defeat," it adds. "As nearly unimaginable forces prepare to annihilate all human life, Holden and a group of unlikely allies discover a last, desperate chance to unite all of humanity, with the promise of a vast galactic civilization free from wars, factions, lies, and secrets if they win. But the ancient enemy that killed the gate builders is awake, and the war against our universe has begun again," reads the book's blurb. ![]() Further, the readers seek to get answers for several of their questions: Which of humanity’s factions will emerge triumphant? Will the Rocinante‘s crew emerge unscathed? And will the mysterious aliens who wiped out the ring builders return to do the same to humanity? "The Laconian Empire has fallen, setting the thirteen hundred solar systems free from the rule of Winston Duarte. Its final book - Leviathan Falls - is laden with expectations. Over the past decade, 'The Expanse' has established itself as one of the best modern science fiction series. In its essence, 'Leviathan Falls', the ninth and final book of the series 'The Expanse', is a through and through science fiction novel. ![]() ![]() Over more than a decade, the study authors used both visual identification and DNA sequencing to analyze the insects. The paper, published last month in the journal Systematic Entomology by an international team of scientists, assesses more than 400 different species of butterflies. “It was a great privilege to do so, and now means that we can start describing new species that we have uncovered as a result of this research.” “Naming a genus is not something that happens very often,” she says in a statement. Blanca Huertas, the senior curator of butterflies at the Natural History Museum in London and a co-author of the study, selected the literary-derived name for the insects. ![]() Inspired by this chilling description, the team documented two new species in this genus, named Saurona triangula and Saurona aurigera, which live in the lowland rainforests of the southwestern Amazon. In the first book of the three, The Fellowship of the Ring, Tolkien writes, “the Eye was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat’s, watchful and intent, and the black slit of its pupil opened on a pit, a window into nothing.” With fiery orange and jet black eyespots at the bottom of their wings, the butterflies in this new genus, dubbed Saurona, reminded the scientists of the flaming Eye of Sauron-the all-seeing eye of the evil ruler of Mordor that looks out over Middle-earth in J.R.R. ![]() ![]() Researchers have identified nine new groups of butterflies-though one in particular seems to have caught their eye. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Eager ben goldfarb![]() Ultimately, it’s about how we can learn to coexist, harmoniously and even beneficially, with our fellow travelers on this planet. Eager is a powerful story about one of the world’s most influential species, how North America was colonized, how our landscapes have changed over the centuries, and how beavers can help us fight drought, flooding, wildfire, extinction, and the ravages of climate change. From the Nevada deserts to the Scottish highlands, Believers are now hard at work restoring these industrious rodents to their former haunts. ![]() Today, a growing coalition of “Beaver Believers”-including scientists, ranchers, and passionate citizens-recognizes that ecosystems with beavers are far healthier, for humans and non-humans alike, than those without them. The consequences of losing beavers were profound: streams eroded, wetlands dried up, and species from salmon to swans lost vital habitat. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Eager, environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb reveals that our modern idea of what a healthy landscape looks like and how it functions is wrong, distorted by the fur trade that once trapped out millions of beavers from North America’s lakes and rivers. ![]() ![]() ![]() To begin, click the purple email icon to send this author a private email, and be sure to describe your book or include a link to your Readers' Favorite review page or Amazon page.
