6/8/2023 0 Comments The world without us book![]() With over 5,000 factories to produce nothing but plastic bags just in India, we’d do well to think about when we really need to use them. They usually feed on organic material, but all of the plastic particles passed right through their digestive track and came back out with no effect or harm done.Įventually, even plankton will be able to “eat” plastic, but it’ll stay around forever. Scientists have verified this by feeding such tiny particles to bottom-feeding worms. Eventually, all plastic will be crushed into tiny particles and fibers. Nevertheless, these will stay around, letting plastic reach places its never gone before, thanks to the wind and water carrying it everywhere. Rain, wind and the oceans can erode plastic, just like rocks, but that only makes it smaller, not disappear. ![]() Plastic cannot be broken down by microorganisms over time and therefore, will leave an impact on nature forever. Something we humans invented only 70 years ago, but that cannot possibly be biodegraded by nature and turned back into its original form: plastic. However, we’ve managed to create an exception. When we die our bodies decay and even our bones eventually disintegrate and become part of the soil again. ![]() Usually everything that comes from nature is returned back to it eventually.

(In its own day, the book was commonly understood as “romance” or “fantasy.”) After growing up on a rural farm near Swindon, England, Jefferies became a celebrated naturalist, “a major contributor to the social history of rural England,” and “perhaps the most brilliant imaginative observer of trees and animals and flowers and weather in his century,” as Raymond Williams describes him in The Country and the City. ![]() “It became green everywhere in the first spring, after London ended.” So begins Richard Jefferies’s After London, an early example of what we would today call the “eco-apocalyptic” novel. ![]() London: Duckworth & Co, 1905.įirst published 1885 by Cassell and Company. ![]() This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Public Domain Mark 1.0 License. ![]() 6/7/2023 0 Comments Opstand by Veronica Roth![]() ![]() His works include Rosewater and its sequels, Far from the Light of Heaven and more.

Trump is the eighth President of the United States to have been subjected to the Woodward treatment, and, had Sanders read his previous works, she would have known exactly what to expect: a devastating reported account of the Trump Presidency that will be consulted as a first draft of the grim history it portrays long after the best-sellers by Michael Wolff and Omarosa Manigault Newman have been forgotten. “I haven’t read a lot of his books,” she said, of Woodward, before going on to dismiss his latest as fiction. The first reports were out about the contents of Bob Woodward’s damning new account of the Trump Administration, “ Fear: Trump in the White House,” and she was trying, not all that successfully, to downplay and deny the book’s sorry chronicle of internal chaos, dissension, and dismay within the White House over the President’s behavior. On Wednesday morning, the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, walked out to address the cameras stationed in front of the West Wing and offered one of the week’s most unintentionally revealing comments. ![]() 6/7/2023 0 Comments Haunted palahniuk![]() ![]() ![]() Tyler Durden is everything that our narrator has ever wanted to be and then some. However, his sleep-deprived and insomnia-riddled life takes a turn when he meets Tyler Durden. His peers, especially his boss, do not respect him and he’s single. He buys things because things are supposed to make him happy and fulfilled, as the TV ads would have him believe. Our protagonist, a nameless narrator, is living an empty, vacuous, consumer-oriented, capitalistic life.

It is literally one of my top five favorite series of all time! 5/5⭐️ 3/5□ enjoy this graphic audiobook and happy reading! It’s fun to see how life continues on after a war for our court! it sits up for the rest of the series in the next book. Again, yes it’s a little slow but you need this background into their new “normal” lives, so that the rest of the series makes sense. Dealing with normal life and the aftermath of war is a new transition and this is what this book is about. It is the group that we have come to love, the court of dreams/nightmares That are coming into their own lives after the war and dealing with their PTSD. ![]() You need it so you can move on in the series and for it to make sense. Reading the books of chorus were amazing, but the graphic novel just takes it to a whole new level, which is very entertaining! I love the voice they chose for Rhysand, and the whole thing is just played out so well! Worth the listen 100%! This book is the slowest one in the series, but it’s the bridge that connects you and fills in the gaps for the next book. Of course, this was just amazing! I read all the books that are available in the series last year and now I live and breathe Sarah J Maas!!! I have read all the CC as well. ![]() |
