And she documents the inspiring movements that have already begun this process: communities that are not just refusing to be sites of further fossil fuel extraction but are building the next, regeneration-based economies right now.įorget everything you think you know about global warming. Klein argues that the changes to our relationship with nature and one another that are required to respond to the climate crisis humanely should not be viewed as grim penance, but rather as a kind of gift-a catalyst to transform broken economic and cultural priorities and to heal long-festering historical wounds. And she demonstrates precisely why the market has not-and cannot-fix the climate crisis but will instead make things worse, with ever more extreme and ecologically damaging extraction methods, accompanied by rampant disaster capitalism. She exposes the ideological desperation of the climate-change deniers, the messianic delusions of the would-be geoengineers, and the tragic defeatism of too many mainstream green initiatives. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies. It’s an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. ![]() Climate change isn’t just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() If one thing seems nearly certain to the people who read and study the Gospels for a living, it’s that this really happened: John the Baptizer-as some like to call him, to give a better sense of the original Greek’s flat-footed active form-baptized Jesus. He comes down from Galilee, meets John, an ascetic desert hermit who lives on locusts and wild honey, and is baptized by him in the River Jordan. When we meet Jesus of Nazareth at the beginning of the Gospel of Mark, almost surely the oldest of the four, he’s a full-grown man.

It wasn’t until I’d finished A Little Hatred that I realized in between the two trilogies Abercrombie had written several stand alone novels that would have been valuable to fill in the voids and key events that are referenced. After approximately a year, I was eager to start A Little Hatred, delighted to find out that it started twenty eight years after the conclusion of the Last Argument of Kings, albeit with a slew of new characters mixed in with the familiar. That said, Abercrombie’s worldbuilding and distinct characters were so enjoyable I couldn’t stay away for long. After finishing The First Law trilogy last year, I found that despite thoroughly enjoying the books as a whole, I wasn’t super eager to continue with Abercrombie’s next series in that same literary world as the ending of the Last Argument Kings had been so bleak. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Paul was quick to point out, 'That's not the guitar I would've used, I would've used this one." Bogart added, "It's interesting because I always knew that the choice of doing the origin story of the makeup and the costumes might get people going, 'That's not the makeup.' But it wasn't the makeup in 1974, they didn't figure it out yet, and it was really bad makeup so it would melt down their faces." But when we started doing it, they were consequential." The filmmaker then shared, "I put them on the phone with the production designers, with the makeup artists, with the costume designers.

While official attitudes did not change perceptibly before the SARS outbreak of 2003, and remained reticent even after that (no senior official in Henan has been held to account two of the provincial secretaries concerned, Li Changchun and Li Keqiang, hold Politburo standing committee positions today 1), the perceived legitimacy of non-governmental organisations was greatly enhanced. ![]() 1The HIV/AIDS epidemic that spread in Henan Province (and beyond) in the 1990s through unsafe blood collection represented – in many ways – a watershed for Chinese society in its interaction with the state. ![]() ![]() ![]() A specter never fully formed yet drenched in blood.

Often considered one of the best TV adaptations of a video game ever made, Castlevania took the world by storm with its amazing visual style, an immersive and bloody storyline, soulful scores, and an equally scintillating finale.
