Part of the Ladybird First Favourite Tales series - a perfect introduction to fairy tales for preschoolers - it contains amusing pictures and lots of funny rhythm and rhyme to delight young children. ![]() ![]() The classic fairy tale - Hansel and Gretel - from Ladybird!Ī perfect introduction to the classic story Hansel and Gretel. ![]() ![]() In this respect, Macintyre is helped by an incredible roll call of soldiers, who may not be household names, but really ought to be. ![]() ![]() In other hands, even this tale of derring-do could become staid and matter-of-fact, but Macintyre once again finds the perfect balance of accentuating the funny, eccentric and downright borderline insane, while never shying away from the tragedy of war and the awful gravity of the situation, giving an authoritative voice to proceedings. SAS: Rogue Heroes has also been filmed as a series and is the first authorised book telling the astonishing story of how the SAS was formed during the Second World War through a mix of fearlessness, bloody-minded heroism and a scant disregard for authority by a bizarre selection of fascinating characters.Īs ever, Macintyre brings those characters fully to life, with his depth of research and knowledge of the subject shining through at all times. ![]() I’ve long been a fan of Macintyre, whose back catalogue includes Agent Zigzag, Operation Mincemeat and A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and The Great Betrayal, all of which he has adapted for BBC documentaries, proving himself as enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining in front of the camera as he is as a writer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This collection of original "Boondocks" comics aimed precise and hilarious rage at white liberal America in the late '90s and early 2000s. A Right to Be Hostile by Aaron McGruder (2003) ![]() How do you manage to get a third-grader excited about Isadora Duncan and Damocles? Unbeatable. I'd never encountered unreliable narrators, or kids in a world where adults didn't care, who had nothing but each other and their passions to get through. Lemony Snicket exploded my world as a kid. The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket (1999) Jamie Loftus is an Emmy-nominated writer and comedian and the creator and host of several acclaimed podcasts, including "My Year in Mensa" and "Aack Cast." Her first book, " Raw Dog," is a new cultural and culinary history of hot dogs. ![]() ![]() ![]() No doubt Woodson felt that political and judicial rhetoric were better suited to be recorded in printed form than the sermons that nonetheless, in his view, exemplified African American public speaking at its best. Even though Woodson did not include sermons in his volume and tried to showcase the African American’s virtuosity in the classical genres of rhetoric, his introductory overview of the rhetorical genres did acknowledge pulpit oratory, “ in which the Negro seems destined to excell all others” (1925, p. The book was meant to showcase speeches as among the most notable cultural achievements by African Americans as well as to establish a tradition of black oratory. Woodson was a Howard University historian committed to opening both white and black eyes to the history and culture of African Americans. Negro Orators and Their Orations, an anthology containing “ practically all of the extant speeches of consequence delivered by Negroes of the United States” (Woodson: 1925, s. On the eve of the Harlem Renaissance, Carter Woodson published ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her background is in food and beverage marketing, which explains the book’s compelling format and the colorful graph on the inside cover that artfully depicts its themes. The naivete Segnit mentions is rooted in the fact that she is not a trained chef. As Segnit admits, it is not a complete guide (“a flavor thesaurus that accounted for every single flavor would be as impractical as it would be uncomfortable on the lap,” she writes), but it does match 99 unique flavors into 4,851 pairings-a compendium of inspiration for your own cooking, as you likely have a few of the ingredients listed on hand. Published in 2010, The Flavor Thesaurus is part reference book and part empowerment tool. And more practically: Was there a book she could read to learn the tricks to flavor pairing? When the answer seemed to be no, she set out to write one herself. ![]() How did they know what would work? Segnit wondered. While she scratched grooves into the pages of her cookbooks from underlining the same steps over and over, they were untethered, creative, pairing flavors seemingly by instinct. The idea for The Flavor Thesaurus, as author Niki Segnit notes in the book’s introduction, came to her in a moment of “almost touching naivete.” A home cook with a crippling dependency on recipes, Segnit watched as her less-risk-averse friends threw things together in the kitchen-ingredients she never would have guessed could harmonize on a plate-to surprising success. ![]() ![]() ![]() So Doyle has my sympathy – for what it's worth. Besides, it's only natural that a Dublin writer should want to escape Joyce's shadow and feel annoyed at being constantly compared to him. Ulysses is a slog, the Joyce tourism industry is over the top and Joyce doesn't have a monopoly on Dublin. They pilloried Doyle as "foolish", spewed invective about how he wasn't half such a talent as the great JJ, reminded us once again of the latter's deathless genius – and blithely ignored the fact that Doyle was on most counts quite right. Naturally, decent citizens everywhere were outraged. It gets on my nerves," the Sunday Tribune in Dublin reported him saying. It's as if you're encroaching on his area or it's a given that he's on your shoulder. ![]() ![]() The whole idea that he owns language as it is spoken in Dublin is a nonsense. ![]() A few days before the annual Bloomsday celebration in 2004, he had the temerity to suggest that the Dublin Joyce industry is rather tacky, that Ulysses "could have done with a good editor" and that it's annoying for Irish writers like him to be forever compared to Joyce: "If you're a writer in Dublin and you write a snatch of dialogue, everyone thinks you lifted it from Joyce. A few years ago, Roddy Doyle found himself swirling around in a teacup storm. ![]() ![]() To put it simply, the United States does well when it comes to providing medical care, but has a rotten system for financing that care. Any proposal that sticks with our current dependence on for-profit private insurers – corporations that pick and choose the people they want to cover and the claims they want to pay – will not be sustainable. Any proposal for “reform” that continues to rely on our fragmented structure of overlapping and often conflicting payment systems for different subsets of the population will not reduce the cost or complexity of American health care. So it’s clear that we can’t fix the basic problems by tinkering at the margins of our existing system. My global quest demonstrated that America’s approach to health care is unique in the world for a good reason: No other country would dream of doing things the way we do.
