![]() ![]() It might not be the Bourdain book you were expecting but if you’re travel-starved from staying home during the pandemic, this might be a great summer read for you.Īnthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. With an hour of audio recorded during that conversation along with Woolever’s own notes, the book came to life, peppered with stories from friends, colleagues, family and those he met along the way in his travels. Bourdain had the idea of a world travel guide and after his death, Woolever decided to make this idea a reality. World Travel: An Irreverent Guide, published last month, is actually authored by longtime assistant Laurie Woolever and was something they discussed during a short conversation they had just months before his death. ![]() It’s been 3 years since Anthony Bourdain passed away so you might be wondering how he’s authored a book. This is part of my Summer Reads series where I’ll be reviewing a series of “not just cookbooks”. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Ooooooh Doctor! by Daniel Herman![]() ![]() ![]() In this book, Bob Clarke examines the origination and development of the English newspaper from its early origin in the broadsides of the sixteenth century, through the burgeoning of the press during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to its arrival as a respectable part of the establishment in the nineteenth century. But Grub Street's vitality and its battles with authority laid the foundations of modern Fleet Street. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, journalists were held in low regard, even by their fellow journalists who exchanged torrents of mutual abuse in the pages of their newspapers. It was also a metaphor for journalists and other writers of ephemeral publications and, by implication, the infant newspaper industry. ![]() Grub Street was a real place, a place of poverty and vice. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments I have to go pee robert munsch![]() Munsch's wife delivered two stillborn babies in 19. In Guelph he was encouraged to publish the many stories he made up for the children he worked with. ![]() He also taught in the Department of Family Studies at the University of Guelph as a lecturer and as an assistant professor. In 1975 he moved to Canada to work at the preschool at the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario. In 1973, he received a Master of Education in Child Studies from Tufts University. He studied to become a Jesuit priest, but decided he would rather work with children after jobs at orphanages and daycare centers. ![]() ![]() He graduated from Fordham University in 1969 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and from Boston University in 1971 with a Master of Arts degree in anthropology. Robert Munsch was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Mere christianity cliff notes![]() ![]() Lewis: he wrote a whole scholarly work, The Allegory of Love, about medieval and Renaissance allegory. Perhaps this is a distinction without a difference to many readers, but it’s worth bearing in mind that if anyone should know what allegory is, it’s C. ![]() ![]() ![]() We might think of this as something like the distinction between simile and metaphor: simile is like allegory, because one thing is like something else, whereas in metaphor, one thing is the other thing.Īslan is not like Jesus (allegory): he is Jesus’ equivalent in Narnia. But he doesn’t: he is Jesus, if Narnia existed and a deity decided to walk among the people of that world. In short, Lewis rejects the idea that his Narnia books are allegory because, for them to qualify as allegorical, Aslan would have to ‘represent’ Jesus. Lewis didn’t regard them as allegory: ‘In reality,’ he wrote, Aslan ‘is an invention giving an imaginary answer to the question, “What might Christ become like if there really were a world like Narnia, and He chose to be incarnate and die and rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?” This is not allegory at all.’ Lewis book(s) that are Christian allegory, right?’ But C. Say ‘ Chronicles of Narnia’ or ‘ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ and many people will say, ‘Oh, the C. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly![]() There's a creepy villain, as usual, and a couple of plot elements that the reader is privy to that the main characters have to discover the hard way. Both know Bosch, but it's their relationship and teamwork that really add the spark to this book. ![]() But front and center in this book are LA Times reporter Jack McEvoy and FBI agent Rachael Walling. ![]() There's another mention of Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer, and Bosch's half-brother. Bosch, of course, is at the center and gets an unnamed nod in the Scarecrow. What really struck me as most impressive is the way Connelly has built a whole group of characters around the LA cop beat and newspaper scene. As a big fan of Audible's collection of Harry Bosch and Lucas Davenport novels (by Michael Connelly and John Sandford, respectively) I found this novel to be a very good continuation of Connelly's Bosch series. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments 77 Days in September by Ray Gorham![]() ![]() ![]() Vandenberg: A Novel by Oliver Lange (Soviet Invasion.

On The Beach by Nevil Shute (Nuclear War. ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet, long before his death, he had seen the narrative of his sailor days recognized as an American classic. He was a copious letter-writer and kept journals of his travels and every day life. Later, he wrote a a short account of an 1859 trip to Cuba in 1859. ![]() The following year, Dana produced The Seaman's Friend, a treatise on practical seamanship. Though at the time it created no great stir in the United States, it was most favorably received in England, where it paved the way for many pleasant and valuable acquaintances. Two Years before the Mast appeared in 1840, while its author was still a law student. He and his wife, Sarah, had many friends among New England's cultural elite, including Henry Wadsworth and Fanny (Appleton) Longfellow and the artist Washington Allston and his wife, Martha Remington (Dana), who was Richard's aunt. Dana was a well known and respected lawyer, a stalwart abolitionist, and an advocate for the rights of common sailors. His services in fields other than literary occupied the greater part of his life. ![]() Two Years before the Mast is but an episode in the life of Richard Henry Dana, Jr., yet the narrative in which he details the experiences of that period is, perhaps, his chief claim to a wide remembrance. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments Invisible Ink by Emma Jaye![]() Thank you for reading books on Archive.BookFrom.

She looks for inspiration everywhere and often finds it in bookstores and thrift stores, looking in vintage children’s books and animation, and even in a garden or two.
