Catergory: History, Nonfiction

Alexander the Great and Cleopatra may be two of the most famous figures from the ancient world, but the Egyptian era bookended by their lives-the Ptolemaic period (305-30 BC)-is little known. In The Last Dynasty, Toby Wilkinson unravels the incredible story of this turbulent era.
Macedonian in origin and Greek-speaking, the Ptolemies presided over the final flourishing of pharaonic civilization. Wilkinson describes the extraordinary cultural reach displayed at the height of their power: how they founded new cities, including Alexandria, their great seaside residence and commercial capital; mined gold in the furthest reaches of Nubia; built spectacular temples that are among the foremost architectural wonders of the Nile Valley; and created a dazzling civilization that produced astonishing works of sculpture, architecture, and literature. Stunningly, he also shows how such expansionist ambitions led to the era’s downfall. The Ptolemaic period was a time when ancient Egypt turned its gaze westward-in the process becoming the unwitting handmaid to the inexorable rise of Rome and the consequent loss of Egyptian independence.
Featuring a superb blend of first-rate scholarship and evocative narrative history, The Last Dynasty provides fresh insights into this overlooked period of history and its legacy in shaping the world as we know it. Click to expand…

Ah, the nineties. Movies were something in those days. We’re talking about a decade that began with GoodFellas and ended with Magnolia, with such films as Malcolm X, Before Sunrise, and Clueless arriving somewhere in between. Stories, characters, and writing were king; IP, franchise movies, and supersaturated superhero flicks were still years away. Or so says Scott Ryan, the iconoclastic author of The Last Days of Letterman and Moonlighting: An Oral History, who here turns his attention to The Last Decade of Cinema- the prolific 1990s.
Ryan, who watched just about every film released during the decade when he was a video store clerk in a small town in Ohio, identifies twenty-five unique and varied films from the decade, including Pretty Woman, Pulp Fiction, Menace II Society, and The Shawshank Redemption, focusing with his trademark humor and insight on what made them classics and why they could never be produced in today’s film culture. The book also includes interviews with writers, directors, and actors from the era.
Go back to the time of VCRs, DVD rentals, and movies that mattered. Turn off your streaming services, put down your phones, delete your Twitter account, and take a look back at the nineties with your Eyes Wide Shut, a White Russian in your hand, and yell "Hasta la vista, baby" to today’s meaningless entertainment. Revel in the risk-taking brilliance of Quentin Tarantino, Amy Heckerling, Spike Lee, Robert Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson, and others in Scott Ryan’s magnum opus, The Last Decade of Cinema.
Films covered: Goodfellas, Pretty Woman, Terminator 2, The Prince of Tides, Unforgiven, Malcolm X, Short Cuts, Menace ll Society, Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Reality Bites, Before Sunrise, To Die For, Clueless, Swingers, Citizen Ruth, The Birdcage, Two Girls and a Guy, The Ice Storm, The Big Lebowski, Pleasantville, The Cider House Rules, Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

Book Description
======
Finally, the epic tale that has never been told: the tragic story of
the destruction of Superman’s home planet.

Everyone knows how Kal-El (Superman) was sent to Earth before his planet
exploded. Now Kevin J. Anderson unfolds the riveting backstory of this
iconic superhero. The Last Days of Krypton is a sweeping tale of the
politics and betrayals that blinded both heroes and villains to the
disaster that would destroy Krypton. Bringing to life this lost world,
with its famous cities and futuristic society, Anderson offers startling
new insight into familiar characters, including Superman’s parents,
Jor-El and Lara; his enemies, including Brainiac; and Krypton’s most
dangerous villain, General Zod.

Filled with adventure, intrigue, and passion, this thrilling saga adds
depth and color to the legend of this classic story and is sure to be
the must-have book for comic fans of all ages.

From AudioFile
Everyone knows the story of how Superman came to Earth, but only comic
fans know the rest of the story–the background of Superman’s mom and
dad and life on Krypton. Anderson takes on the task of fleshing out
the doomed world in THE LAST DAYS OF KRYPTON. Such a story begs for
a cinematic-style audio treatment to bring it vividly to life, and William
Dufris puts everything into his performance–including getting a little
hammy with the dialogue of the villains. Anderson relied more on the
Superman films than the comics for inspiration, a strategy that may
drive comic fans nuts because of the many violations of established
continuity. But if one accepts this as a stand-alone story, it works.-

Catergory: History, Nonfiction

"Memories of the Revolution have come back to life."
In the summer of 1824, the aging Marquis de Lafayette, defeated politically and distraught over the fate of liberty in Europe, set sail one last time from France for America after an absence of forty years.
Across the sea waited a nation transformed: Thirteen colonies were now twenty-four states, stretching from the Atlantic Coast to the Mississippi River. The number of Americans had more than tripled; their industry and creativity had ushered in a new era of individual prosperity and civic improvements. But progress brought worries. Shocks-an economic collapse, a crisis over the westward creep of slavery-foreshadowed a new political age, increasingly democratic and impassioned. The presidential election of 1824 was a precursor to this era. It was fought among four men, and was so bitter and divisive some observers wondered if it heralded the end of the Union. All while the Declaration of Independence neared its fiftieth anniversary and the first generation of Americans passed on, leaving a second to lead their great experiment in liberty into the uncertain future and stirring tender nostalgia for the Revolution and its quickly vanishing stars. Chief among them was Lafayette, the last living major general of the Continental Army.
When he arrived at last in August 1824, the old hero met once more with the young republic. One of the greatest celebrations in American history followed. Citizens put aside their differences and rallied together around the spirit of their Revolution, rejoicing over the return of the "Nation’s Guest," as Lafayette was called. For thirteen months, Lafayette traveled thousands of miles, reaching every state in the Union and met with parades and delirious crowds. The nation was spellbound by their benefactor. And Lafayette was overjoyed and stunned by the nation’s growth and advances, all made possible by the freedom he had fought for long ago.
The Last Adieu narrates Lafayette’s farewell tour, capturing both its spectacular pageantry and emotional impact-not only from Lafayette’s perspective, but through eyewitness accounts and recollections of the everyday Americans who participated in the great celebration. Co-starring the swarm of fascinating characters Lafayette encountered across the American landscape-elderly founding fathers, populist politicians, idealistic reformers-this is not simply the record of an incredible journey, but a panorama of a rising America and a chronicle of a time when, as Lafayette wrote, memories of its Revolution came back to life, and its citizens were united in gratitude to the men who had won it.

Featuring a new introduction by Ken Liu, this revised edition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s first full-length collection of essays covers her background as a writer and educator, on fantasy and science fiction, on writing, and on the future of literary science fiction.
"We like to think we live in daylight, but half the world is always dark; and fantasy, like poetry, speaks the language of the night." -Ursula K. Le Guin

Le Guin’s sharp and witty voice is on full display in this collection of twenty-four essays, revised by the author a decade after its initial publication in 1979. The collection covers a wide range of topics and Le Guin’s origins as a writer, her advocacy for science fiction and fantasy as mediums for true literary exploration, the writing of her own major works such as A Wizard of Earthsea and The Left Hand of Darkness, and her role as a public intellectual and educator. The book and each thematic section are brilliantly introduced and contextualized by Susan Wood, a professor at the University of British Columbia and a literary editor and feminist activist during the 1960s and ’70s.

A fascinating, intimate look into the exceptional mind of Le Guin whose insights remain as relevant and resonant today as when they were first published. Click to expand…
