A reissue of Under the Sea-Wind in 1952 was well received and her third book, The Edge of the Sea (1955), which shifted focus from the sea to the shore, nearly equalled the popularity of The Sea Around Us and firmly established Carson as the most popular scientific writer in the country. ![]() However, her second book on the sea, The Sea Around Us (1951), remained on the best-seller lists for eighty-six weeks, was eventually translated into thirty languages, and received many awards. Rachel Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, attracted little notice on its appearance in 1941. She was interested in writing at an early age and submitted a number of juvenile stories, poems, and essays to leading youth magazines. Rachel Louise Carson, noted biologist and environmentalist who fascinated readers with three books on the wonders of the sea and awakened the American public to the dangers of pesticide misuse with a highly controversial bestseller, was born on May 27, 1907, in Springdale, Pennsylvania. ![]() ![]() ![]() Real, lasting peace requires giving power to local citizens. Contrary to what most politicians preach, building peace doesn't require billions in aid or massive international interventions. With examples drawn from across the globe, she reveals that peace can grow in the most unlikely circumstances. But what strategies have worked to build lasting peace in conflict zones, particularly for ordinary citizens on the ground? And why should other ordinary citizens, thousands of miles away, care? In The Frontlines of Peace, Séverine Autesserre, award-winning researcher and peacebuilder, examines the well-intentioned but inherently flawed peace industry. At turns surprising, funny, and gut-wrenching, this is the hopeful story of the ordinary yet extraordinary people who have figured out how to build lasting peace in their communities The word "peacebuilding" evokes a story we've all heard over and over: violence breaks out, foreign nations are scandalized, peacekeepers and million-dollar donors come rushing in, warring parties sign a peace agreement and, sadly, within months the situation is back to where it started-sometimes worse. ![]() ![]() If the reader doesn’t care, or would actually prefer the relationship NOT to continue (i.e. But to me there’s a second important factor: The reader has to WANT the people in the relationship to live happily ever, or happy for now.

Yes, half the entire novel is narrated by the creepy guy…who is supposedly the “hero”. In the case of Sylvia Day’s Captivated by You, the creepy guy’s POV is every odd-numbered chapter. ![]() Having grown up reading crime novels, I’m accustomed to the occasional point-of-view from the creepy guy.

A man in a Dodge Caravan hit him while he was out walking, causing a collapsed lung, broken leg, and shattered hip. ![]() What makes it sort of eerie in a Stephen King kind of way is that years after he wrote most of the stories involving vehicular terrors, he was almost killed by one in 1999. I guess I'd never really noticed, even though we all know about Christine and Maximum Overdrive, but once you start blazing through his entire oeuvre, it's very hard to not notice how often people meet their ends by way of vehicle, or in how many stories the vehicle creates the catalyst for the tale. I've been revisiting some of his earlier short-story collections and came to the sudden realization that King has a thing for vehicles. Pretty much every horror writer currently working has been influenced by him, so if you're a fan of horror then you owe him a debt of gratitude because he not only affected every aspect of the genre today, but he helped its popularity grow as many in the mainstream crowd suddenly discovered horror through him. He's earned the title "King of Horror" by delivering hundreds of stories that in turn spawned countless adaptations into movies and television, and even a video game or two. Stephen King is a juggernaut of a writer. WHY IS STEPHEN KING SO AFRAID OF VEHICLES? ![]() |
