This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from Xpresso Book Tours in exchange for an honest review. ![]() ![]() The books are wonderful! The first one is a lot like the film, mainly in the first half, and all the essential elements and fascinating contradictions are all right there in the text itself: the scarecrow who wants brains but is the smartest one of all, the lion who thinks himself a coward but is in fact the bravest one, the tin man who has more heart than anyone of them, and Dorothy who makes everyplace home. I saw this complete collection on Amazonr recently, read the great reader reviews of the edition, and frankly, the low price made it a no-brainer (lol) even for a non-scarecrow. That's what happens when Hollywood magic fills your imagination. I had read the first book when I was much younger, seeking more of the color and pageantry and spectacle of the movie and remember being vaguely disappointed. I love the classic film and as a parent, had seen it some hundred plus times over the years, thanks mainly to a daughter who was obsessed with it at one point. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This introspective escapist story of tangled family secrets and the impact of our choices all set to the backdrop of a sprawling Tuscan winery will make you crave a glass of Chianti Classico and reflect on roads not traveled.

I approach their natural birth practices as things of 'value' or . ![]() I address questions which are not adequately answered in the sociology of childbirth literature, including how and why some women become involved in natural birth groups why they consider investing time and money in antenatal education as a good thing to do and why they report the need to practice for a natural birth. I argue that this work can be considered an ethical self-formation in which women work on the self in order to construct and present a particular subjectivity - of the good and responsible mother. I focus on women's negotiations of these two dimensions, which I term 'the work of birth', which includes the planning, preparation and practice in which some women are involved during their pregnancies. more This thesis explores the disjunction between a public, moralised discourse of natural birth and women's own more complex narratives of practical decision making and lived experience.

The New York Times reporter Michiko Kakutani criticized Trump for boasting about his business ventures while offering a dystopian view of the U.S. A book review from On the Issues was positive, noting how Crippled America discredits assertions that Trump has no specific political stances. NPR characterized Crippled America as typical of similar campaign-trail books, providing only a basic outline of Trump's political agenda. Like his previous work Time to Get Tough did for the U.S. A revised edition was subsequently republished eight months later in trade paperback format under the title Great Again: How to Fix Our Crippled America. The book debuted at number five on The New York Times Best Seller list. Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again is a non-fiction book by businessman Donald Trump, first published in hardcover by Simon & Schuster in 2015. As for foreign policy, he critically analyzes the impact of China on free trade. On domestic policy issues, Trump recommends stricter border security and repealing the Affordable Care Act. ![]() Crippled America stresses that the United States needs to start "winning again" Trump asserts his business expertise can be translated into governmental success, that his "outsider" status can be utilized to negotiate agreements. He criticizes the media's coverage of him while defending his decisions on the campaign trail. Trump makes his case for why he would be an effective leader of the United States, and reassures Republicans that he upholds conservative values.

This is one of two books I have read more than once. One thing I haven't been able to figure out is how David Wong seems to perfectly keep his readers' tension, anxiety, and fear in check while rapidly throws jokes that don't fail to produce laughter. ![]() I can assure you I never got bored even for a second throughout the reading. To me David wong has set a very high standard of excitement in the first pages of This Book is Full of Spiders, and is becoming even more terrific till the end, which is not at all an easy task. If you have read David Wong's first book then you will easily find yourself liking his second, and vice versa. The kind of combination of comedy and horror that I have never seen before. The ridiculousness served is truly unusual and refreshing and definitely absurd. Not only humor is part of the books, but he uses humor as an essential ingredient to build up the stories. ![]() This Book is Full of Spiders is the sequel to his first book, "John Dies At the End". ![]() ![]() ![]() Wellington, Friends of the Turnbull Library, 1982.
