In this book I take a look at Emily’s life with the help of twenty of her incredible poems that can be used to illuminate events, moments and people in her life. Its triumph is that Anne is given voice and is no longer swamped by her siblings.” ( Mail on Sunday) “Holland has enormous affection for Anne Brontë, and his excellent book is filled with passion and pathos. In Search Of Anne Brontë is also available in paperback. A labour of love that looks at Anne Brontë’s story from cradle to grave. Incidentally, I’m about to commence work on another new Brontë related book – keep your eyes peeled for further news right here on this blog. The links below point to the Amazon site where you can purchase my books on Anne Brontë, Emily Brontë and Aunt Branwell, but you can also find them in good bookshops or order them from the shop. My aim in writing these books was to help spread the word about this fantastic family that I love, and join my ranks with the many people who are already succeeding in this endeavour. I’m very proud of these books, and if people enjoy reading them half as much as I enjoyed researching and writing them, that would be wonderful. I never like to blow my own trumpet too much, but I’ve been asked recently about the Brontë books that I’ve written.

The Dry is a 2020 Australian mystery drama thriller film directed by Robert Connolly, from a screenplay by Connolly and Harry Cripps, and is based on the 2016 book of the same name by Jane Harper. In 2013, she would branch into young adult fantasy before branching into traditional historical settings in 2014 to publish a set of novels set in Imperialist China. Her debut novel was an English-set Victorian romance that she first published in 2006 after seven failed attempts. Once she had moved to the United States aged thriteen, she would improve her English through reading romance and fiction novels such as “Sweet Savage Love” by Rosemary Roger, and the fiction of Isaac Asimov that she read with the help of an English Chinese dictionary. English is Thomas’s second language since she was born in China, and her very earliest experiences of English was her grandmother doing English language newspaper crossword puzzles. She has also been feted by media organizations such as the New York Times and National Public Radio. She has been the recipient of several prestigious reviews from venerated publications and trade publications such as Kirkus, Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly. Sherry Thomas ranks as one of the most popular romance authors from the United States today. The Power Broker is an attempt to understand how Robert Moses was able to gain so much political power. In many ways, our democracy was built to not let someone like Robert Moses (i.e., an unelected official) amass so much power without the consent of the voters. In the United States, political power was supposed to be gained through the democratic process. Yet, for the forty-four years, he was in power he never once was an elected official. Governors, mayors and even a President of the United States yielded to his power. For years the media looked at Robert Moses as ‘the Master Builder’ and lauded his accomplishments. He shaped the city more than any other man laying out highways, building bridges, constructing public housing, erecting parks, and building other large public works (see below for a list of his accomplishments). The Power Broker is about Robert Moses who was one of the most powerful men in New York City history. Was the time it took to read this book worth it? Yes! After finishing it, I was tempted to read it again, just so I could cement the things I learned. Move over The Brothers Karamazov, The Power Broker is now the longest book I have ever read. This will go down as one of the best books I have ever read. A few days ago I finished the Pulitzer Prize winning book The Power Broker written by Robert A. The first book I read was The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs. But I just finished my second book about urban planning in and around New York City. Confession: I have never been to New York City. “For the purposes of science, information had to mean something special. The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood It sometimes seems as if curbing entropy is our quixotic purpose in the universe.” Not only do living things lessen the disorder in their environments they are in themselves, their skeletons and their flesh, vesicles and membranes, shells and carapaces, leaves and blossoms, circulatory systems and metabolic pathways - miracles of pattern and structure. The original demon, discerning one molecules at a time, distinguishing fast from slow, and operating his little gateway, is sometimes described as “superintelligent,” but compared to a real organism it is an idiot savant. It would be absurd to attempt a thermodynamic accounting for such processes, but it is not absurd to say we are reducing entropy, piece by piece. We disturb the tendency toward equilibrium. We propagate structure (not just we humans but we who are alive). We sort the mail, build sand castles, solve jigsaw puzzles, separate wheat from chaff, rearrange chess pieces, collect stamps, alphabetize books, create symmetry, compose sonnets and sonatas, and put our rooms in order, and all this we do requires no great energy, as long as we can apply intelligence. In everyday experience lies the reason sober physicists across two centuries kept this cartoon fantasy alive. |
