İslam Medeniyetinin Küreselliği TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Ashley has spent the past four years in a juvenile detention facility for a crime she didn’t commit. What the professionals had diagnosed as epilepsy and delusions are actually the manifestations of her unique status: Ashley is at the mercy of an ancient power and as a result, she alone can see the grotesque, often frightening creatures that permeate our world. She’s learned the hard way to hide her knowing, convincing authorities that she’s under control. But Ashley is very aware that trying to go home risks everything – her family, her chance at freedom and, quite likely, her own life. Goshko’s portrayal of Ashley and her family demonstrates how well he understands his characters and their issues; he handles dialogue and group dynamics especially well. Similarly his style and technique is spot on as he writes in a clear, crisp voice that is very appealing and reads easily. It is apparent that the ancient back-story and mysterious dimension that Ashley visits are richly complex for the author but, sadly, the novel does not allow the reader to share nearly enough. Taken individually, everything is superbly rendered; the characters, events, interactions, and particularly the fantasy elements (with the exception of creature names, which are unwieldy) are very enticing. However as a whole, the novel lacks impact. It is very much like discovering an iceberg miles off while drifting at sea: based on the protruding tip, it seems that it must be majestic and wonderful underneath but there is little opportunity to discover if this is true. At every turn, plot events – both major and minor - are given so little exploration or are resolved so simply that it is impossible to become immersed in the experience. The Book of the Nine Ides is tantalizing with its technical excellence and delicious, finely crafted accessories, but ultimately the story holds the reader at arm’s length.

Aydın Üzerine Tezler 1 - (1830-1980)-Yalçın Küçük TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

This book came into my hand at a time when I was thinking gardening and farmers markets and "what is so great about organic, anyway?" - that is to say, at a time when I was very receptive to the book's message. Fortunately Nick picked up this book (while I was in the middle of it, oh well), which opened his eyes to food issues as well. In fact, some of our best conversations about how we want to actually live in this world started out as conversations about this book. So what I got out of this book was a new resolve to pay attention to seasonality in my fruits and veggies; a willingness to buy the more expensive local and organic foods, because that is not an area of life to be chintzy about; and new adventures in cooking, making food, and gardening on a teeny tiny Manhattan balcony. I agree with people who say this book is preachy. It is absolutely intended to make you feel depressed about how you live and eat, and realize that her family is better than yours. The upside is that she gives really practical advice about how to change, and you can either hate and envy her or take the advice and make things better - I think people either love or hate this book depending on which of these they choose. The sections written by Camille Kingsolver are the worst, just insufferably holier-than-thou, so I simply stopped reading those parts. Much better that way.
