Squabbled over by his heirs, Babylonia was subsequently dominated by the Parthian and Roman empires. Entered triumphantly by Alexander the Great, it later provided the setting for the Conquerer's deathbed. After playing host to three great empires, the Hammurabic and Kassite empires, and the Neo-Babylonian Empire ruled by Nebuchadnezzar, it was conquered by the Persians. The history of Ancient Babylonia in ancient Mesopatamia is epic. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Senator Thomas Sedgewick Sexton: Rachel’s father and an ambitious presidential candidate.Zachary Herney: The President of the United States.Wailee Ming: A paleontologist with an impeccable dress habit.Corky Marlinson: A world-renowned astrophysicist and a staunch proponent of the authenticity of the meteorite.Michael Tolland: An oceanographer and television celebrity-scientist,.Rachel Sexton: A data analyst for NRO and Senator Sexton’s daughter.With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Arctic to verify the authenticity of the find.Īccompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic academic Michael Tolland, Rachel uncovers the unthinkable – evidence of scientific trickery – a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy… Characters: Deception PointĪuthentication team: During the story, NASA invites five external experts to help authenticate the meteorite finding as secondary sources: space policy and the impending presidential election. ![]() When a new NASA satellite detects evidence of an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory…a victory that has profound implications for U.S. Theme: Deception and the search for the truth Narrator: third person from the different perspectives of the various characters.

In the early '90s, Kozol-a white Harvard grad and '60s activist-spent time in some of the poorest neighborhoods of the South Bronx. Jonathan Kozol first sounded the wake-up call about the state of the American poor with his book Death At An Early Age, and 30 years later his quest to illuminate the plight of the disadvantaged hasn't reached its conclusion if anything, it's intensified. After all, talking about a group of people is different from talking with a group of people, and statistics can only illustrate so much. So much energy has been expended discussing and debating the plight of the inner-city poor that the lives of the poor themselves sometimes seem to fall by the wayside. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Second Ghost Book had a hardcover edition in 1952 from James Barrie, and was reprinted in paperback by Pan (under the imprint Great Pan) in 1956. The first, originally titled The Ghost Book, was published in hardcover from Hutchinson in 1926, and didn’t appear in paperback until 1945. They were published between 19, and there are a lot of them. Take for example the highly regarded Pan Ghost Books. That’s not remotely true of British paperbacks. I have by no means a complete collection (or anything close to a complete collection), but after nearly four decades of collecting I’ve seen almost all the really desirable stuff, and I’m intimately familiar with the market. I’ve done a fair job of collecting American horror and dark fantasy paperback anthologies over the years. ![]() ![]() It's a satisfying story that adheres closely to its central message about overcoming obstacles. Meanwhile, asides from the kids provide a string of giggles. Brontorina is a dinosaur with a dream - she wants to dance But she cant fit into Madame Lucilles dance studio - apparently dinosaurs are too big to be ballerinas. From the sure-footed duo of James Howe and Randy Cecil comes a hugely endearing new character in a humorous, heart-warming tale about holding on to your dreams. A rocky transition period (the studio's ceiling takes a lot of punishment) is at last resolved when Madame Lucille moves her classes outdoors, with the promise that Brontorina's struggle will open up the world of ballet to still more candidates-the studio's new sign reads, "Madame Lucille's Outdoor Dance Academy for Girls and Boys and Dinosaurs and Cows." The final page shows a triceratops holding Brontorina high, a silent retort to Madame Lucille's earlier despairing wail: "And how in the world will a male dancer ever lift you over his head?" Cecil (Gator) contributes oil paintings whose simple forms are balanced by sophisticated textures and restrained colors, while he has fun punching up the contrast between the massiveīrontorina and her tiny classmates. ![]() ![]() ![]() Howe (Bunnicula) pens a humorous and inspiring tale about a big dinosaur with a big dream: "n my heart," Brontorina says, "I am a ballerina." Thoughtful, white-haired instructor Madame Lucille is willing to give it a try. ![]() |
