She explains issues such as fundamentalism, biblical inerrancy, Christian nationalism, civil religion and anticommunism, the charismatic movement, and abortion, and introduces such diverse figures as Karl Barth, Jerry Falwell, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Pat Robertson. She skillfully introduces readers to the terminology, key debates, watershed events, and personalities that have populated the history of white American evangelical Protestant culture in the last half-century. Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and historian FitzGerald ( Fire in the Lake) provides a compelling narrative history of “the white evangelical movements necessary to understand the Christian right and its evangelical opponents.” Dispatching pre-20th-century events in the first three chapters, and the period from 1900 to 1945 in just two more, FitzGerald focuses most closely on evangelical culture and politics from the rise of Billy Graham through the Obama presidency. ![]() ![]() Her book Pie Modding, which was featured in numerous publications, including BoingBoing, Laughing Squid, and Neatoramma.Her book Pies Are Awesome: The Definitive Pie Art Book, which is an Editor's Pick on Amazon, and has been featured as the cover story in Bake Magazine.Clark-Bojin has worked in the design and media space for over ten years, holding positions such as VP Creative for Zeros 2 Heroes Media, Head of Department of the Entertainment Business Management Program at Vancouver Film School, and founding executive of indie film production company Done Four Productions, prior to her work as a pie artist.

As Richard's wife, Anne Neville, was dying, there were murmurs that the king sought to marry his niece Elizabeth, knowing that most people believed her to be England's rightful queen. But after the death of her father the disappearance and probable murder of her brothers-the Princes in the Tower and the usurpation of the throne by her calculating uncle Richard III, Elizabeth found her world turned upside-down: She and her siblings were declared bastards. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first child of King Edward IV, Elizabeth enjoyed all the glittering trappings of royalty. Her birth was greeted with as much pomp and ceremony as that of a male heir. Now New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed historian Alison Weir presents the first modern biography of this extraordinary woman, whose very existence united the realm and ensured the survival of the Plantagenet bloodline. But it is often forgotten that the life of the first Tudor queen, Elizabeth of York, Henry's mother and Elizabeth's grandmother, spanned one of England's most dramatic and perilous periods. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Many are familiar with the story of the much-married King Henry VIII of England and the celebrated reign of his daughter, Elizabeth I. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When negotiation collapsed, Midway "pivoted" to build a combat game in the spirit of Capcom's 1991 mega-hit named "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior".Īn initial team of four (Ed Boon for programming, John Tobias for art and story, John Vogel for graphics, and Dan Forden for sound design) assembled and got to work. They had used the technology with great success for the popular shooter game "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" but were unable to secure a license for "Universal Soldier" (JCVD financial conditions were deemed unacceptable ). We are talking about a huge technological leap here with 60 frames per second animations and unseen-before 100x100 pixels sprites, each with their own 256 colors palette. Around the same time "Universal Soldier" got released, "Midway Games" had developed a technology allowing to manipulate large digitized photo-realist sprites and preserve the likeness of real actors. The story of NBA Jam does not find its roots in basketball but rather, like all things, in Jean-Claude Van Damme. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Scholomance novels are primarily set within the Scholomance, the world’s premier magic school which traps hundreds of magical children in its self-sustaining magical grounds for years, forcing them to face a gauntlet of monsters, treachery and dangerous lessons for their own good. Novik, who has previously impressed with her Temeraire series and standalone books like Spinning Silver, has created an incredible series here, filled with dark magic, complex characters, and an unbelievable setting. Without a doubt, some of the best pieces of fantasy fiction I have read over the last couple of years has been the clever and addictive Scholomance novels by acclaimed author Naomi Novik. In this latest Waiting on Wednesday, I check out the incredible upcoming final entry in Naomi Novik’s epic Scholomance series, The Golden Enclaves. Stay tuned to see reviews of these books when I get a copy of them. I run this segment in conjunction with the Can’t-Wait Wednesday meme that is currently running at Wishful Endings. ![]() Welcome to my weekly segment, Waiting on Wednesday, where I look at upcoming books that I am planning to order and review in the next few months and which I think I will really enjoy. ![]() ![]() ![]() This conclusion leads her to hire an escort to help her ‘learn the ropes’ of relating to the opposite sex. When her mother pressures her to date and settle down, she analyzes her life and realizes that she is indeed lonely-and may also be bad at love. She also hates labels and doesn’t advertise the fact that she has Aspergers. Stella has several absolutes in her life: numbers don’t lie, everything is a puzzle to be solved, and she loves structure and routine. Her depiction of a heroine with Aspergers is one of the best I’ve ever read and just makes me want to read every. ![]() Not only is this ‘smart romance’ done right, it is also the stellar debut by author Helen Hoang. I have so much love for this story, I don’t even know where to begin! This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and it surpassed any expectations I may have had. ![]() ![]() With the death of Thutmose II, the throne fell to Thutmose III, a step-son and nephew of Hatshepsut. She “appears during her mother’s reign officiating as ‘God’s Wife of Amun’.”writes Michael Rice in "Who’s Who in Ancient Egypt" (Routledge, 1999). In their personal life, the couple had a daughter named Neferure who would go on to assume royal duties. “The Egyptian army continued to quell uprisings in Nubia and brought about the final demise of the kingdom of Kush at Kerma,” writes Betsy Bryan in a section of "The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt" (Oxford University Press, 2000). Like his predecessor, he fought in Nubia. In ancient Egypt, it was not unusual for royalty to marry within their family. ![]() Queen to Thutmose IIĪfter the death of her father, the Egyptian throne passed to Thutmose II, Hatshepsut’s half-brother and husband. ![]() “Underscoring her claim, one of the reliefs decorating Hatshepsut’s enormous funerary complex depicts Thutmose I crowning her daughter as king in the presence of the Egyptian gods,” write Helen Gardner and Fred Kleiner in "Gardner’s Art Through the Ages: The Western Perspective" (Cengage, 2010). She also claimed that Thutmose I had named her as his successor before his death. ![]() ![]() After Hatshepsut became co-ruler of Egypt, she claimed to be of divine birth, the result of a union between her mother and the god Amun. ![]() ![]() This is the fourth book so by now you should know what you are getting, writing still not the best BUT it’s better, still needs heavy editing, still has the grating use of modern language but it is what it is and all that doesn’t derail the reading experience enough to ruin it. The beginning is slow but it does continually build throughout until the end that’s is really well executed and exciting. Definitely recommend reading a Shadow in the Ember before you read this one bc it won’t make as much sense if you don’t and it will connect you more to the story. ![]() ![]() Well, don’t believe the mob that says this book is awful bc it isn’t, I’m glad I went ahead with this series and read it for myself bc I really enjoying the story. ![]() |
