![]() Ahmed clearly loves Miles Morales and, even better, knows how to write stories that speak to his multi-racial experience while also being an incredibly fun superhero book. ![]() While it can be a bit of a risk to bring an unproven talent to a new title, here it’s an absolute genius call. Thus, Miles Morales: Spider-Man was born.įor his fourth(?!) solo series, Marvel brought in Hugo Award-winning writer Saladin Ahmed and Javier Garron. When Into the Spider-Verse dropped, Marvel thought it might be a good idea to give Miles a fresh look with a new ongoing title and a new creative team. He made his way over to the “main” Marvel continuity in 2015 after a “Crisis on Infinite Earths”-type situation that destroyed - then drastically reconfigured - the multiverse, and since then he’s been a key figure of the emerging ‘young superhero’ community. He was a controversial figure during his debut, but has won over fans with amazing stories. It’s been an eventful eight years for Miles. Created by Brian Michael Bendis in 2011, Miles became the second Spider-Man of an alternate Marvel universe after a cataclysm took the life of that reality’s Peter Parker. ![]() The runaway success of last year’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse raised the profile of Miles Morales in a big way. ![]() ![]() ![]() But then we all know the worth of his work 120 years down the line. The hardships faced by Van Gough in his life can be very depressing to read at times, and the sheer persecution he went through makes you question whether it is worth the effort to go for the dreams. ![]() It teaches one the value of steadfast perseverance for one’s ultimate aim in life and a dogged resistance to the potential misleading opportunities that arise in the life of every individual. The book can be laborious to read in parts but then has immense instructive potential for any young mind. The narrative of the book is all fictional, but created from the fragments of Van Gogh’s life. ![]() The author based the book on the tortured life of Van Gough, who was one of the greatest impressionist painters of all time, though he never achieved this greatness during the course of his life. The reason for this is that the book is based on the life of the great Dutch painter, Vincent Van Gough. The classification it follows is that of a fictional biography. First of all, a disclaimer on the category of this book: This book cannot be regarded as pure fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() She earned a degree in psychology from Franklin Pierce College in 1970, followed by a master's degree in animal science from Arizona State University and a doctoral degree in animal science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Although her parents sought the best possible teachers, social interactions remained difficult in middle and high school, where other students teased Grandin regularly for her verbal tics.ĭespite these difficulties, Grandin achieved considerable academic success. Her treatments included extensive speech therapy, which helped to draw out and reinforce Grandin’s communicative abilities. Cutler, initially blamed by physicians for her daughter’s condition, worked tirelessly to find the best care and instruction for Grandin. ![]() ![]() At the age of 2, Grandin was diagnosed with autism, considered a form of brain damage at the time. Grandin was born to parents Richard Grandin and Eustacia Cutler in Boston, Massachusetts, on August 29, 1947. ![]() In 2010, HBO released an Emmy Award-winning film on Grandin’s life. She has become a leading advocate for autistic communities and has also written books and provided consultation on the humane treatment of animals. Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism as a child and went on to pursue work in psychology and animal science. ![]() ![]() ![]() And thus the Nunnallees and Fairs' litigation dragged on, giving Kunen more than enough time to learn about everything from the last minute of one teenager's life to the government and corporate policies that put her at such risk.īecause they're based on the cold logic of cash and cash alone, those policies are the easiest to summarize. ![]() One dollar would have satisfied the parents of 10-year-old Patty Nunnallee and 14-year-old Shannon Fair-one dollar plus a promise from Ford to build the buses to be safer. Two families didn't, asking for less, not more. ![]() Kunen stayed longer than most of the parents, in fact, for nearly all the families promptly accepted Ford Motor Company's offer of $750,000 per death. Unlike others, he stayed with it for three years. But comprehend it one must.īest known for his "The Strawberry Statement," the 1969 book in which he wrote about his experiences as a student anti-war protester at Columbia University, Kunen now reports on issues of crime and the law for People magazine, and he was among the crowds of journalists who flocked to the Carrollton bus crash story. What can you say about either, a bereaved parent might ask: Three-quarters of a million dollars stacked there on the table can be as hard to comprehend as what remains of a loved one's body burned beyond recognition. ![]() Kunen's attempt to put both the coldness of financial figures and the horror of the bus accident into humanly understandable terms. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first single-author account of German history from the Reformation to the early nineteenth century since Hajo Holborn's study written in the 1950s, it also illuminates the development of the German territories subordinate to the Reich. Central themes are the tension between Habsburg aspirations to create a German monarchy and the desire of the German princes and cities to maintain their traditional rights, and how the Reich developed the functions of a state during this period. ![]() Going against the notion that this was a long period of decline, Joachim Whaley shows how imperial institutions developed in response to the crises of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, notably the Reformation and Thirty Years War, and assesses the impact of international developments on the Reich. Germany and the Holy Roman Empire offers a new interpretation of the development of German-speaking central Europe and the Holy Roman Empire or German Reich, from the great reforms of 1495-1500 to its dissolution in 1806 after the turmoil of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

What are you doing in the Ice Kingdom?” “Technically this isn’t the Ice Kingdom yet,” he said. He looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression. The silver scales sparkling under his wings caught the morning light like trapped stars. He was a lot younger and smaller than Morrowseer, wiry and graceful in his movements even when he was startled. “Who are you, and what are you doing in our territory?” The NightWing leaped up in surprise and stared at her. ![]() “Hey!” she barked, landing with a thump beside him. ![]() For a moment she was afraid she’d lost him, before she realized that he was lying down, his black scales half-hidden in the long shadows. She leaped into the air and flew back to the spot where she’d seen the strange dragon. Somehow it didn’t sound as funny as she’d hoped. Well, she thought ruefully, if he figures me out, I guess I’ll just kill him. and she really, really wanted to know what a NightWing was doing out here. Maybe there’s no way I’ll get away with it. She also couldn’t make her claws ridged like IceWing claws, and her tail wasn’t as whip-thin at the end as an IceWing’s would be. She concentrated on making her ruff look like it was made of icicles and hoped that would do. The hardest part was the extra horns IceWings had around their heads. She felt the changes shimmer across her scales. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And when rumors of a jilted ex-girlfriend come to light, Jade knows Quentin is hiding a secret-and she's determined to find out what it is.
