I want to boost everyone’s signal on this issue, so I thought it would be nice to collaborate instead of compete, since that’s part of what we are all proselytizing with these books. There seems to be a movement afoot, a new wave of nonfiction about how to reduce all this argumentative madness and epistemic chaos. This is the first episode in a three-part series about how to have difficult conversations with people who see the world differently, how to have better debates about contentious issues, and how to ethically and scientifically persuade one another about things that matter – in short, this is a three-part series about How Minds Change (which is also the title of my new book).

In “You Just Need to Lose Weight,” Aubrey Gordon equips readers with the facts and figures to reframe myths about fatness in order to dismantle the anti-fat bias ingrained in how we think about and treat fat people. Yet, these myths are as readily debunked as they are pervasive. Fat acceptance “glorifies obesity.” The BMI is an objective measure of size and health. We’re in the midst of an obesity epidemic. Losing weight is easy-calories in, calories out. The pushback that shows up in conversations about fat justice takes exceedingly predicable form. The co-host of Maintenance Phase and creator of Your Fat Friend equips you with the facts to debunk common anti-fat myths and with tools to take action for fat justice. He remembers adoring his big brother and remembers missing him, but his childhood memories faded as he grew up.įifteen years later, a man who calls himself Anthony Blake finally comes home after the war ends. The last time Liam Blake saw his eldest brother, Anthony was sixteen and Liam was five. It’s a book about Liam and a man who claims to be his long-lost brother (I don’t want to spoil the book for you, but it’s probably not a spoiler to say that there’s no incest in that book). Illicit, Book #3 in the Wrong Alpha series, will release in December 2021. The book should release at some point in 2022. It’s a book about Jordan Gates, Nate’s new boss.

Special thanks to my wonderful editor, Eliot Grayson, for all her help and invaluable feedback. When this happens, the ice crystals expand. But unfortunately, when a frost occurs, instead of water, ice crystals form on the foliage and within the stem walls of the plant. When it’s warm, dew can actually be quite beneficial to plants, providing moisture that the leaves can soak in to help hydrate the plant. When there is enough moisture in the air and the temperature cools down, dew forms on the foliage of plants. So just exactly how does a frost harm vegetable plants? For starters, a frost is basically the frozen form of dew. And even more costly when you have to replant it! How & Why A Frost Damages A Plant Whether growing your own plants from seed or purchasing transplants at a local nursery or garden center, it can be expensive to plant a garden. Millions of dollars are lost in home vegetable gardens each and ever year due to frost damage. Once hit by a frost, even if plants survive, they are usually just a shell of their former self. I’m hard pressed to give an overall opinion of how I feel about this book. Creatura by Nely Cab followsIsison her journey through this unfamiliar world while she experiences the heart wrenching magic of first love, and tries to determine just how she fits into the world around her. In wresting back control of her dreams, she learns that this “frightening creature” was not at all what she expected and she is shocked to find that just by existing, she is embroiled in an age-old controversy among a forgotten lineage of divine creatures. When seventeen year old Isis Martin decides to confront the frightening creature in her nightmares, she starts herself on an unparalleled journey of self-discovery. Currently, Nely is working on the second chapter of the Creatura series. The tree illustration depicted on the cover of Creatura is a sample of her artwork. Aside from writing, she enjoys drawing and painting. From the Author’s Website: Nely Cab lives in south Texas with her husband and son. He and his wife initially settled in Cairo along with their baby daughter. These adventures later inspired his book, The Greek Islands, giving his descriptions an unusual authenticity.Īfter alternating for six years between Corfu and Athens, Durrell fled Greece in 1941, days ahead of the invading Nazi army. He and his wife Nancy made frequent trips from Corfu to islands throughout the Cyclades and beyond. While on Corfu, he bought a small sloop which he named the Van Norden after a character in Miller’s book. Eliot at Faber and Faber in London, became his friend and publisher. Thus began a forty-five-year friendship based on their love of literature and their personal and artistic setbacks. During that period, Durrell stumbled across Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer and wrote Miller a fan letter. At the same time, he reached out to other writing luminaries. Life on Corfu kicked off his writing career. Like so many travelers before him, he felt he had come home. As a young man-and having found a small house overlooking the sea which he called the White House-Durrell persuaded his mother, siblings, and wife, Nancy Myers, to join him to escape the English winter. He settled in the village of Kalami on the island of Corfu, Greece, in 1935. In The Greek Islands he writes that he was, “… electrified by Greek light, intoxicated by the white dancing candescence of the sun on a sea with blue sky pouring onto it.” Life in Greece was a revelation colors were pure, the sky endless, the food simple, and the people open. Go Tell the Bees That I am Gone picks up where Written in My Own Heart’s Blood left off. I don’t mind Lord John himself but have very little interest in Hal, Ben, Amaranthus, Dottie or Percy!Īnyway, if you’re new to the series, should you start with this book? My answer would be no – definitely not! Start at the beginning, when 1940s nurse Claire Randall first steps inside a stone circle in Scotland and finds herself transported to the 18th century, then read the books in order, otherwise you’re going to be very confused. As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, though, part of my problem is that I’ve never been a fan of the Lord John Grey spin-off series, and Lord John and his family have played an increasingly large part in these most recent novels when I would prefer to be reading about other characters. In this book, the final sequence – 100 pages or so – is excellent, but to get there you have to persist through 800 pages of irrelevant subplots that seem to lead nowhere and minor characters we barely know suddenly given large storylines of their own. This is the ninth Outlander novel and the last one that I really enjoyed was the sixth since then, each book has felt longer and less substantial than the one before. Sometimes I wonder why I’m continuing to read this series. It is an MMF contemporary romance series that revolves around Chloé Thornton-Priestley, the wild-child daughter of the three P’s.
