![]() ![]() ![]() He felt it then, but he had presentiments of that moment years before as a school boy. Roberts illustrates throughout this long and thoroughly researched book that was no literary flourish. What Roberts conveys in a way that Jenkins did not is the central place that war and combat played not just in Churchill’s career, but in his whole character, personality and imagination.Ĭhurchill wrote that when he became prime minister, “I felt as if I were walking with destiny, and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial”. And yet that was, perhaps, a limitation of sorts. ![]() Jenkins brought a unique perspective to Churchill’s life, since, as an MP, former Home Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer he had stood in the same shoes as Churchill and had had to view the world through the same spectacles. In the two decades since Jenkins published his Churchill, the Churchill industry’s productivity has continued to rise exponentially, with books produced on every aspect of Churchill’s life. Roy Jenkins produced his widely acclaimed volume less than twenty years ago. One could be forgiven for thinking the ever burgeoning Churchilliana industry hardly needs another.

SNOW CRASH Written in an attempt to salvage a few elements from an earlier graphic novel project, this book became important, and changed my life. Snow Crash continues to remain entertaining, with the stories and characters that are part tongue-in-cheek and part all too real, and themes that are never out of style - swords- cars-bikes-teen rebellion - badassery-adventure-chases -gangs. Written whenever, it remains real wherever you go today, with criminal corporations, suburban enclaves, runaway inflation, immersive 3d worlds with their own currency and cultures, large governmental organizations building software, large scale exodus and refugees & media preachers, ancient religions. ![]() With technology, a hundred years is covered in ten years, and in this, Snow Crash stands up to the challenge. Plunging headlong into the enigma of a new computer virus thats striking down hackers everywhere, he races along the neon-lit streets on a search-and-destroy. Every once in a while there comes a story that is so real that it is difficult to distinguish between the story and reality, and it continues to be so for a hundred years. ![]() ![]() ![]() Her book Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of The Wild Woman Archetype was on the New York Times’ best seller list for 145 weeks, as well as other best seller lists, including USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and Library Journal.Īs a post-trauma specialist, Estés began her work in the 1960s at the Edward Hines Jr. Beginning in 1992 and onward, her work has been published in 37 languages, most recently Persian, Turkish, and Chinese. ![]() She is the author of many books on the journey of the soul. ![]() She often speaks as “distinguished visiting scholar” and “diversity scholar” at universities.
