Bruce pascoe5/11/2023 'Dark Emu injects a profound authenticity into the conversation about how we Australians understand our continent. 'If we look at the evidence presented to us by the explorers and explain to our children that Aboriginal people did build houses, did build dams, did sow, irrigate and till the land, did alter the course of rivers, did sew their clothes, and did construct a system of pan-continental government that gathered peace and prosperity, then it is likely we will admire and love our land all the more.' - Bruce Pascoe The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating and storing -behaviours inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag. Pascoe puts forward a compelling argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer label for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians.

The cabin faced west by jean fritz5/10/2023 Check my blog for a link to support my reviews and our school. I even got chills and teary eyed at the end.īought a vintage copy via Thriftbooks. I'm glad we experienced this one and I will keep it on our list for future years. I also gratefully appreciate the American Studies Discussion Guide for 3rd Grade. We've all enjoyed this read aloud for American Studies. But we have finally finished reading The Cabin Faced West as recommended by Memoria Press 3M Classical Core Curriculum. We've had crazy school breaks with holidays, health crisis, flu illness, vacation road trips and more. While the third grader herself sat with wrapt attention as she finished her dinner. Newborn in my arms just a trio of weeks younger than Sophie's Johnny in the book and the two toddlers scrambling to lean of my leg propped on a kitchen chair. All four children were gathered around me, as I read this one and it's first three chapters aloud as planned in the Memoria Press 3M Classical Core Curriculum. While my daughter is already reading ahead. Ac the secret crusade5/10/2023 Despite that, I've enjoyed reading the books especially the ones for Black Flag and AC3. Some were okay like Secret Crusade or the one for Syndicate. There are even some characters who I thought would be recruitable but aren't, such as Nurah, using the trickster mythic path you can trick her into being on your side during the Drezen siege but she still isn't recruitable. I've read all of the AC books by Oliver Bowden along with some written by Christine Golden. It's kind of sad that most of the more interesting classes you can get for companions are locked behind the lich path or are hidden. There are so many options to choose from that it's quite baffling that their classes are so boring, it wouldn't be much of an issue if you could simply change their class, but you can only retrain them from the level you get them at. That may sound like a good variety, but it's really not, most of them play alike. On the other hands their classes are kind of a let down, for the 12 normal companions, there are 3 dedicated ranged, 3 basically dedicated healers, 3 dedicated front liners with 2 being possible tanks, 2 melee/spell casters and only 1 dedicated spellcaster. Assassins Creed: Revelations - Book 4 of the Assassins Creed. Although I own the entire series of novels Ive only read the first 6 or so (Renaissance, Brotherhood, The Secret Crusade, Revelations, Forsaken and Black. The companions themselves are actually pretty good, a great variety of personalities and quirks.

Dead wake erik larson review5/10/2023 In response to competition, it was designed in 1907 to be one of the biggest, fastest, most luxurious and most modern ships around. The Lusitania was a Cunard transatlantic liner that navigated between New York City and Liverpool. In his characteristic compelling biographical style, Larson educates readers on this maritime catastrophe.įirst, let’s talk basics. Many people have heard of this World War I disaster, but few know the minute details, the ill-fated set of conditions that culminated in the deaths of hundreds of passengers. In “Dead Wake,” Larson explores the events during the weeks leading up to the sinking of the luxury ocean liner the Lusitania on May 7, 1915. (Can I take a second to brag that my copy of the former is signed by the author?!) If you have not read any of this guy’s books, you need to. I did not think it would be possible, but “Dead Wake” has replaced “The Devil in the White City” as my favorite Erik Larson book. The wild things eggers5/10/2023 It was just one of those things that if any two friends tell the same story of even the night out together, those versions are going to be different. I had been thinking about it so much on my own so I thought of it as a good chance to create my version of the story. but in this case Spike and I had written so much material that we knew wouldn’t end up in the script, let alone onscreen. Normally, I wouldn’t think of doing a novelization of a movie or screenplay - my only association was when I was a kid I read a novelization of E.T. I think it was late 2005 or early 2006 when Maurice called me and asked me to write a novel based on the movie. What’s the relationship between The Wild Things book and screenplay, and how did the novelization come about? At Rolling Stone‘s request, Eggers agreed to a rare interview about the project. The film’s co-screenwriter, Dave Eggers, was so absorbed in the project he agreed to write a novelization of the book, titled The Wild Things, at Sendak’s request. It took years to bring the adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s 1963 children’s book Where the Wild Things Are to the big screen, and this weekend the Spike Jonze-directed film cleared another hurdle: the thoughtful and visually stunning picture opened at Number One at the box office. The djinn graham masterton5/10/2023 The first-person narrative ensures a fast read. Erskine is an eccentric character who adds much to an otherwise sleight tale. Typical early Masterton - slim, fast-moving, occasionally horrific and often fun. Harry Erskine, rogue psychic (who also appears in the Manitou books) investigates. THE DJINNĪn Arabian spirit (The Djinn of the title), trapped inside an ancient jar, is released from its prison - with predictably disastrous results. Despite the fact that this is Masterton's first novel it's still a surprisingly shocking tale. The book features the first appearance of the rogue psychic, Harry Erskine, who, with the help of medicine man, Singing Rock enters into battle against the shaman, Misquamacus.įast-paced and brimming with Indian legends.
