We are currently in the process of setting up a nationwide network of federated Libraries of Things (LOTs) which will all run independently but benefit from being connected to the national body (use of templated systems, start-up help, branding, access to funding etc.) We’re in the final planning stages of this now and should be ready to take on Libraries within the federated structure from Spring 2021. If you want to set up before then we also have a ToolKit written a year after we launched which answers many of the questions new Libraries of Things ask and outlines many of the pitfalls to avoid as well as things you can do to succeed. Please contact us to request this and we’ll ask for a donation on our Just Giving page to answer your questions and send this along with other helpful documents in return.

In a historic first, Taungurung Elder Aunty Loraine Padgham has released her children’s book Bijil Ba Wudhi Deberra (Bijil and Moths) in Taungurung and English.
Dedicated to the Taungurung people, past and present, who are the traditional owners of central and northeast Victoria, Bijil Ba Wudhi Deberra (Bijil and Moths) written by Aunty Loraine Padgham, is a historic first release of a children’s book written in both Taungurung and English languages.
Bijil Ba Wudhi Deberra follows the story of a young Taungurung boy who travels with his parents on their annual trip to the high plains in the summer to participate in cultural activities, renew friendships with other tribes, and clans, and harvest Bogong moths.
Taungurung Land and Waters Council chief executive Matt Burns said the publication of the book was a “landmark moment” in the reawakening of the language.
“It will form part of a number of resources that will be made over time to re-establish our language as an integral part of the cultural landscape for those, both indigenous and otherwise, living on Taungurung Country,” he said.
The book includes a QR code that can be scanned to listen to the story read in the Taungurung language and a copy of the book has been delivered to all primary schools within Murrindindi Shire.

Beschreibung des Verlags
From bestselling thriller author David Morrell comes a brooding tale about the coldest of deaths and their heartbreaking aftermath.
Thomas De Quincey - the central character of Morrell's acclaimed Victorian mysteries, MURDER AS A FINE ART and INSPECTOR OF THE DEAD - was one of the most notorious and brilliant literary personalities of the 1800s. His infamous Confessions of an English Opium-Eater made history as the first book about drug dependency. He invented the word 'subconscious' and anticipated Freud's psychoanalytic theories by more than a half century. His blood-soaked essays and stories influenced Edgar Allan Poe, who in turn inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to create Sherlock Holmes.
But at the core of it all was a terrible tragedy. In this special-edition novella, based on real-life events, De Quincey shares the story of a horrific snowstorm fifty years earlier, in which a mother and father died and their six children were trapped in the mountains of the Lake District. Even more gripping is what happened after. This is the true tale of how De Quincey became the Opium-Eater, brought to life by an award-winning storyteller.
An afterword contains photos of the dramatic locations in the story.

Quarterly Billing Report

Total amount you owe to Library A
Money owed by Lib A patrons to your library
Total amount Library A owes you

Total amount owed between your library and Library A
The Quarterly Billing Report determines how much money is owed between CCS libraries for:
Lost or damaged materials that have been paid for by patrons
Bills for lost or damaged materials that have been waived by library staff
Lost or damaged materials that have not been paid for by patrons
The billing report supports the the Intra-CCS billing policy, approved by Governing Board in July 2018. This policy states that in the event that a patron does not pay for a lost or damaged item, the patron's home library is responsible for reimbursing the item's owning library:
The requesting library will be responsible for borrowed materials from the time the materials leave the supplying library until they have been returned to the supplying library as per the ILLINET ILL Code. If damage or loss occurs, the requesting patron’s home library must reimburse the owning library for any losses. Replacement materials are not accepted for ILL and Reciprocal Borrowing losses. Any ILL material reported lost that was paid for and subsequently found becomes the property of the patron.
Read the full Intra-CCS billing policy
Libraries will use the Billing Statement tab of the Quarterly Billing Report to determine how much money they owe to other CCS libraries for the billing period. Payments should be sent within 60 days of the report being released.
How It Works
The Quarterly Billing Report tracks money owed to libraries over a reporting period. The Billing Statement tab shows the balance each library owes to other CCS libraries.
The owing library will issue a single check to the library to be reimbursed for the remaining balance. The subsequent tabs detail the credits and debits.
Example: In a reporting period, Glenview accepts $20 for a lost Niles item. Niles accepted $10 for a lost Glenview item. The report will show that Glenview owes Niles $10 for the remainder of the lost item charge. Glenview will remit payment to Niles.
The Quarterly Billing report will be broken down into the following periods:
May 2018 - June 2018
July 2018-September 2018
October 2018 - December 2018
January 2019 - March 2019
April 2019 - June 2019
The Billing Report will be released immediately following the billing period's end. The May-June 2018 and July-September 2018 reports will be released simultaneously.
The Quarterly Billing Report looks at payments and waives made during a reporting period.
When a payment is accepted, the payment will be sent to the patron's library or the item's library, depending on when the bill was posted. If a bill remains unpaid at the end of a reporting period, the patron will be given another reporting period to pay the bill. If the bill remains unpaid at the end of the following reporting period, the patron's library is responsible for reimbursing the item's library. In other words:
If a payment is made and the bill was posted within the reporting period or during the previous reporting period, the money is sent to the item's library.
If a payment is made and the bill was posted 2 or more reporting periods ago, the money will be sent to the patron's library, who should have already reimbursed the item's library for the item's cost
The following sample scenarios illustrate how the report works.
Note: The examples below are not intended to be comprehensive, and the billing report will cover additional payments and waives not listed here.
Reporting Period 1
Reporting Period 1
Reporting Period 1
A patron is billed for an item, and pays for the item before the period is over.
Action: Payment is sent from payment library to item’s library.
*Note: Intra-CCS items that are paid for are not eligible for refunds as per the Intra-CCS billing policy.
A patron is billed for an item, but does not pay the bill.
The Patron has not paid the bill by the end of the billing period.
Action: The patron’s library sends payment to the item library.
The patron pays for the item.
Action: The payment library sends the money to the patron’s library.
A patron is billed for the item, but does not pay the bill.
The patron returns the item, and the bill is waived.
A patron pays for a bill posted before May 2018.
Action: The payment library sends the money to the item’s library.
A patron is billed for the item, but does not pay the bill.
A library decides to waive a portion of a replacement cost for a patron.
Action: The library that performed the waive will send the amount waived to the item's library.
Using The Report
The Quarterly Billing Report can be found in Web Reports under Financial Reports.
Tab 1: Billing Statement
The “Billing Statement” tab summarizes what each library owes to another.
Locate your library under the column, “Payer.”
Review the amounts listed in your library's row to see if or how much you owe to another CCS library
The amount listed is the amount you owe to the library listed at the top of that column. If a cell is blank, no money is owed to that library.
When money is owed to another library, coordinate with your business office to send payment directly to that library. You will not receive a separate invoice from CCS. Do not send payments to CCS.
In the example below, Crystal Lake owes $10.64 to Algonquin and $44.99 to Cary.
The remaining tabs allow libraries to review the specific transactions that are included in their amounts owed:
Tabs 2 and 3 list out the payments that were made at each CCS library during the billing period. Tab 3 (Patron Payment Detail) lists out each individual payment transaction, while Tab 2 (Patron Payment Summary) summarizes or adds together all of the individual payments and provides a total owed.
Tab 4 (Patron Balance Detail) lists outstanding bills that remain unpaid by patrons. Your library is responsible for reimbursing the item's library for these bills.
Tab 5 (Waived Amounts) lists bills that were waived by a library. The library that performed the waive is responsible for reimbursing either the item's library or the patron's library.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Quarterly Billing Report exclude any patrons?
A: The Quarterly Billing Report does not include bills charged to accounts with a patron code of In-House.
Q: How does the Billing report handle legacy bills brought over from Symphony?
A: The patron's home library will only be expected to reimburse the item's library for unpaid bills posted after May 1, 2018. All payments made for bills posted prior to May 1, 2018 will be sent to the item's library.
Q: What billing reasons are considered in the report?
A:The following bill reasons are including in the Quarterly Billing Report:
Damaged or Missing Case
Collection Agency (fees posted in Polaris)
Q: Are online payments made through PowerPAC included in the report?
A: Yes, online payments are included in the Quarterly Billing report.
Q: Can a library waive charges?
A: Traditionally, libraries have not waived bills for items belonging to other libraries. The Quarterly Billing Report will pick up waives made on the bill types that are included in the report criteria (replacement costs, processing fees, damaged material, or damaged/missing case). The library who performed the waive will be responsible for reimbursing the library who was owed the money for the amount waived. The circulation advisory group will work with CCS to draft best practices for waiving bills.
Q: Is there a deadline for sending payment?
A: Payments should be sent within 60 days of the quarterly billing reports being released. Each library is responsible for making their payments and follow up with those that have not.
Q: What happens when a patron whose unpaid bills have been included in previous quarterly billing reports moves and re-registers at a different CCS library? Who receives the money when the patron finally pays their outstanding fees?
A: According to CCS policies, a patron should pay any outstanding bills before they are re-registered at a different CCS library. However, if that does not happen, quarterly billing will use the patron's branch at the time a bill was posted when determining where to send money.
Quarterly billing will send the payment to the library that has reimbursed the item's library in a previous quarterly billing report. Generally, this is the patron's library as it appears in the patron's record. In this case, however, the patron's library at the time of payment and the patron's library at the time the bill are posted do not match. The payment is sent to the patron's library as it appeared in the bill record at the time of posting.
The patron's current barcode is listed in quarterly billing. The patron's library is the patron's library at the time the bill was posted.
Patron A is registered to a branch of Lincolnwood. They owe $50 in replacement costs to Niles-Maine, and do not pay their outstanding balance. Through quarterly billing, Lincolnwood reimburses Niles-Maine for the unpaid items on behalf of the patron.
The patron then moves to Des Plaines. After they re-register for a library card at the Des Plaines Public Library, the patron pays the $50 in outstanding bills. Quarterly billing will send the money to the patron's library, since the patron's library has already reimbursed the item's library in a previous quarterly billing report.
In this case, the money will be sent to Lincolnwood, NOT Des Plaines, since Lincolnwood was the patron's library at the time the bill was posted to their account. Lincolnwood was the library that reimbursed Niles-Maine for the previously unpaid items. In the Quarterly Billing Report, the patron's library will be listed as Lincolnwood, since at the time the bill was posted, that is the library they were registered to. The barcode listed will be their new Des Plaines barcode. The patron's barcode may have been different when the bill was charged.


John Steinbeck is one of my favorites and very influential to me. I found the below quote to confirm my own experience and my hunch that good and average writers go through these kinds of excruciating thoughts in the writing and re-writing (and re-re-re-writing) process.
“I’m afraid this book is going to pieces. If it does, I do too … If only I wouldn’t take this book so seriously. It is just a book after all, and a book is very dead in a very short time. And I’ll be dead in a very short time too. So the hell with it. Let’s slow down, not in pace or wordage but in nerves.”
The book Steinbeck was writing was “The Grapes of Wrath,” the story of the Joad family leaving their failing Oklahoma farm at the nadir of the Great Depression for the chance at a better life in California.
The novel was published in 1939 and — Steinbeck’s gloomy prediction notwithstanding — has been a landmark of American literature ever since. It has never been out of print and served as the basis of the Academy Award-winning film by John Ford that starred Henry Fonda as Tom Joad.

The focus of this chapter is primarily on Burton Blatt’s investigations and exposés of closed institutions. These are the catalysts that served to set the stage for subsequent campaigns for inclusive schooling. The chapter also discusses issues of educability, the meaning of the concept of intellectual disability, the role of science in inclusion and treatment, and frameworks for pursuing, performing, and maintaining inclusive education and living. And in the interests of full disclosure, readers will note the personal connection between Biklen and Blatt, a result of sustained collaboration over many years.

Although the light thrown upon ancient conditions of life and thought has destroyed much that sometimes seems vital for the Old Testament, it has brought into relief a more permanent and indisputable appreciation of its significance, and it is gradually dispelling that pseudo-scientific literalism which would fetter the greatest of ancient Oriental writings with an insistence upon the verity of historical facts.

Thus the pseudo-Democritus, who was reputed the author of the Physica et Mystica, which itself concludes each of its receipts with a magical formula, was believed to have travelled in Chaldaea, and to have had as his master Ostanes l the Mede, a name mentioned several times in the Leiden papyrus, and often by early Christian writers such as Tertullian, St Cyprian and St Augustine.
The practices of the Persian adepts also are appealed to in the writings of the pseudo-Democritus,.
The compounds of mercury attracted considerable attention, mainly on account of their medicinal properties; mercuric oxide and corrosive sublimate were known to pseudo-Geber, and the nitrate and basic sulphate to " Basil Valentine."
In the article Crystallography the nature and behaviour of twinned crystals receives full treatment; here it is sufficient to say that when the planes and axes of twinning are planes and axes of symmetry, a twin would exhibit higher symmetry (but remain in the same crystal system) than the primary crystal; and, also, if a crystal approximates in its axial constants to 'a higher system, mimetic twinning would increase the approximation, and the crystal would be pseudo-symmetric.
Although many pseudo-symmetric twins are transformable into the simpler form, yet, in some cases, a true polymorph results, the change being indicated, as before, by alterations in scalar (as well as vector) properties.
But this would not help Wagner to feel that contemporary music was really a great art; indeed it could only show him that he was growing up in a pseudo-classical time, in which the approval of persons of " good taste " was seldom directed to things of vital promise.
He was a thorough Aristotelian, but by preference appears to have been drawn towards the mystical writings of the Neoplatonists and the pseudo-Dionysius.

Behind it (according to the Alexandrian treatise, known as pseudo-Callisthenes) were five native villages scattered along the strip between Lake Mareotis and the sea.
Pseudo-Joachimite treatises sprang up on every hand, and, finally, in 1254, there appeared in Paris the Liber introductorius ad Evangelium aeternum, the work of a Spiritual Franciscan, Gherardo da Borgo San Donnino.

The family has very sharply defined characters, which separate its members at once from all other neuropterous (or pseudo-neuropterous) groups.
The alpine rose (Rhododendron dauricum) clusters in masses on the higher mountains; juniper, spiraea, sorbus, the pseudo-acacia (Caragana sibirica and C. arborescens, C. jubata in some of the higher tracts), various Rosaceae - Potentilla fruticosa and Cotoneaster uniflora - the wild cherry (Prunus Padus), and many other shrubs occupy the spaces between the trees.
The pseudo-deltidium (so named by Bronn in 1862) is a single plate which grows from the apex of the delthyrium downwards, and may completely close the aperture.
In the Telotremata neither pro-deltidium nor pseudo-deltidium is known.
The conception will be made clearer when it is remembered that Aquinas, taught by the mysterious author of the writings of the pseudo-Dionysius, who so marvellously influenced medieval writers, sometimes spoke of a natural revelation, or of reason as a source of truths in themselves mysterious, and was always accustomed to say that reason as well as revelation contained two kinds of knowledge.
Of other 5th-century sources, Aristophanes is obviously a caricaturist, pseudo-Xenophon (de republica Atheniensium) a mere party pamphleteer.

The first volume contains some French texts, and the second a detailed discussion of the various versions from the pseudo-Callisthenes downwards.
The short feet of the penguins are an adaptation.
32, and Pseudo-Tertullian, Haer.
The systematic theosophy of Plotinus and his successors does not belong to the present article, except so far as it is the presupposition of their mysticism; but, inasmuch as the mysticism of the medieval Church is directly derived from Neoplatonism through the speculations of the pseudo-Dionysius, Neoplatonic mysticism fills an important section in any historical review of the subject.

The Story After Us - A heartwarming tale of life and love for modern women everywhere
Sometimes the end is just the beginning...
If she tries very hard, Ami can remember when she used to have a dynamic and exciting career and a husband who she loved more than life itself, and who was equally smitten with her...
Now she has two children, a terrifyingly large mortgage, and no idea who she has become - or why she and her husband can't even be in the same room anymore.
With life as she knew it in tatters around her, Ami is heartbroken, and in no way pulling off 'consciously uncoupling' like a celeb. But she's starting to wonder if she just might come out the other side and be... happier?
As funny as Helen Fielding, as poignantly touching as Marian Keyes, Fiona Perrin's dazzling debut is a story that is as much about finding out who you really are again, as it is about the exhausting balancing act of motherhood. Unmissable for women everywhere.
Praise for The Story After Us:
'This is the perfect summer read'
'One of the best and most satisfying novels I've read this summer'
'It is a real page turner and I didn't want to put it down'


Jacob A. Loewen's recent book The Bible in Cross-Cultural Perspective covers a multitude of subjects—heaven, earth, the afterlife, the spirit world, exorcism, among them. Of particular interest to Priscilla Papers readers is chapter 9, "Images of God: Male, Female, or Both" (pp. 109-16). It is packed with wonderful information regarding inclusive language.
This interdisciplinary volume of text and art offers new insights into various unsolved mysteries associated with Mary Magdalene, Mary of Bethany, Mary the Mother of Jesus, and Miriam the sister of Moses.
Seventeen essays explore how the biblical Miriam, Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene were portrayed in the early Christian era, also touching on Jewish and Muslim interpretations.
Junia, A Woman, An Apostle by David Williams is a thorough examination of Romans 16:7. The book is intended to introduce general readership to the technical arguments for the conclusion that the person spoken of in this verse was a woman apostle.
The FNV is a dynamic equivalence translation that captures the simplicity, clarity, and beauty of Native storytellers in English, while remaining faithful to the original language of the New Testament. Whether you are Native or not, you will experience the Scriptures in a fresh and new way.
The First Nations Version is a phenomenal work. It is poetic, beautiful, and striking time and again. It captures the feel of hearing God's word spoken, and it corrects some mistakes other translations make.
Craig Keener's 1-2 Corinthians is a wonderfully engaging and easily read commentary on Paul's letters to the Corinthians. It is tightly packed with documented information from ancient sources on the historical/social/cultural setting of Corinth in Paul's time. This information enables the reader to understand more clearly the intentions behind Paul's letters to the Corinthians, underlining how the cultural emphasis on rhetoric in Paul's time shaped his writings.


THE third of the Nockolds brothers, Harold, has died, at the age of 75. Having the distinction of deciding while at school that he wanted to be a motoring journalist (when most of us opted for engine-driver or racing-motorist, and there were no Sir William Lyons’ scholarships), how well he fulfilled that ambition. Like other now well-established motoring writers, Nockolds started on the staff of MOTOR SPORT — it is said as its Continental Correspondent, who never left London, doing his race reports by translating from foreign newspapers! He left to become The Times Motor Racing Correspondent in 1936. I well remember how PROs would drop what they were doing or those they were talking to and step out smartly to meet the immaculately-dressed Mr. Nockolds when he appeared at one of their Press functions.
He cemented this affinity with the late Dudley Noble (who had a habit of coming to Press parties in vast carriages from Daimler Hire) by writing the first definite history of Rolls-Royce, “The Magic of a Name”, which G. T. Foulis & Co published, with colour inserts, in 1938, a book that has been widely followed up ever since.
After a distinguished war career ending up as an RASC Major, Nockolds returned to The Times in 1946. He left in 1960 to edit Motor and rose to take successively important positions in Temple Press, finishing in the MD’s chair, and then rising equally successfully in IPC Transport Press, ending as its Deputy Chairman. His last great task was the complication of a two-volume history of the Lucas Group and he was Chairman of the GMW in 1952, 1957 and 1963, before being elected a Vice-President. Harold Nockolds was also a committee member of the RAC and a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harnessmen. — W.B

For one so little acquainted with his subject, he has treated it with considerable ingenuity.Paine was born in England in 1737, and died in New York, in 1809.There stood, at one time, the Temple of Solomon, to which some writers have traced the origin of the Masonic Order; there fought the Crusaders, among whom other writers have sought, with equal boldness, to find the cradle of the Fraternity; there certainly the Order of the Templars was instituted, whose subsequent history has been closely mingled with that of Freemasonry; and there occurred nearly all the events of sacred history that, with the places where they were enacted, have been adopted as important Masonic symbols. The result of these labors has been a vast accumulation of facts in relation to the topography of the holy city which throw much light on its archaeology.The desire to obtain an accurate knowledge of the archeology of Palestine, gave rise in 1866 to an association, which was permanently organized in London, as the Palestine Ezploration Fund, with the Queen as the chief patron, and a long list of the nobility and the most distinguished gentlemen in the kingdom, added to which followed the Grand Lodge of England and forty-two subordinate and provincial Grand Lodges and Chapters- Early in the year 1867 the Committee began the work of examination, by mining in and about the various points which had been determined upon by a former survey as essential to a proper understanding of the ancient city, which had been covered up by debris from age to age, so that the present profiles of the ground, in every direction, were totally different from what they were in the days of David and Solomon, or even in the time of Christ- Lieutenant Charles Warren, R. A branch of the Society has been established in the United States of America, and continued in successful operation.In England after the war he was indicted for treason, escaping to France, and there narrowly escaped the guillotine, spending ten months in prison.Then he attacked Washington bitterly, came to the United States, but while his services to the country were gratefully remembered, his blunt discourtesy to the President and other old friends could not be forgotten.General Paez was also first Grand Master of Venezuela and on May 1, 1840, he became the first Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, of his country. In 1925 the representative at Washington of the Venezuelan Department of State presented the sword of Brother Paez to General John J.Pershing, also a member of the Craft and Commander of the American Army during the World War.
A name given in the time of the Crusades to a pilgrim, who, coming back from the holy war after having accomplished his vow of pilgrimage, exhibited upon his return home a branch of palm bound round his staff in token of it.
Paine's acquaintance with prominent Freemasons on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean has doubtless had much to do with the claim often made for his membership in the Craft.
A meeting with Brother Franklin in London obtained for him introductions to the leaders in the Colonies and he sailed there in 1774 where he became editor of the Pennsylvania Gazette.
E., as he then was, later Lieut.-General Sir Charles Warren, G. Such reference books as are most often consuited in public libraries say little more about Andrea Palladio than that he was an Italian architect, of Venice, born in 1518, died in 1580, that he was one of the creators of the Italian, or neo-Classical style, that he wrote treatises on his art, and that he seas called "the modern Vitruvius." That would be a pitiably weak description of Palladio in the eyes of any English Mason who had read The First & Chief; Grounds of Architecture, the first book printed in England on architecture, by John Shute, who had gone to Venice in the 1540's and there for two or three years had studied "the glories of the new Italian architecture" at first hand; or after Inigo Jones, about 1600, came back to his King after a similar journey of study, and introduced the new style into England; for Palladio became a vast enthusiasm there, almost a cult, and hundreds of small clubs of amateur architects met to study the art of I this great modern Master, who in due time was to be Sir Christopher Wren's guiding inspiration when after the London fire in 1666 he designed not only St.
Paul's but more than a hundred other buildings, a few of them in America.

I loved the Star Wars: Year by Year book when it was released by DK Books, and delighted in the nostalgia the book recalled, as well as the incredible mass of information at my fingertips that I could dig into at a moment’s notice.
So, when I got my hands on the Marvel Year by Year book, I knew it was going to be something special. And I could pull a Stan Lee and simply say ‘Nuff Said, but that really wouldn’t do this massive tome justice.
From the first incarnation of Marvel comics, it’s growth as Timely Comics, from its delving into superhero and romance stories, from its four colour images to the hues and shades of the 21st century, the book, fact-filled and beautiful takes you through the house that Stan built.
That, of course, is giving way too much credit to one person, because what about Jack Kirby? Joe Simon? Miller? McFarlane? and countless other writers, artists, and editors who brought the Marvel Comic Book Universe to life.
Each year is broken down, there is context for what was happening in the world, and you can watch the development of your favourite characters, and encounter books, as well as heroes and villains you may never have heard of.
Watch the evolution of Peter Parker’s Spider-Man from his first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15 to the point when Miles Morales takes over the mantle, not to mention the Ultimate iterations of the beloved character.
There are books in here that I had long forgotten – kids who grew up in the 70s may certainly recall Shogun Warriors! I was delighted to hear this one mentioned, because I didn’t remember it until it popped up in the book.
The story arcs are here, the deaths, the rebirths, the cross-overs, the clashes, the Civil Wars.
I think the only thing that I felt was really lacking from the book was that it focused completely on its own in-house material. Being a huge movie fan, I would devour the comic adaptations of some of my favourite films, and the series that spawned from them. Sadly, the short Star Trek series following The Motion Picture isn’t mentioned, nor is the Indiana Jones series, Star Wars does, however, get a brief plug.
That being said the wealth of information on hand is completely engrossing and I found myself enjoying the journey through the past almost 80 years worth of material.
You’ll discover first appearances, surprise cross-overs and you will, marvel, pun intended, at some of the gorgeous art on display here, splashy pages featuring covers, and iconic images from some of the most popular runs, as well as glimpses of odd titles like Astonishing and My Diary.
DK never fails to impress with their books, and this fantastic companion piece for comic collectors is an exemplary example of the fine work they continue to oversee. I loved delving into the history of Marvel, the ins and outs, their successes, their failures, and discovering the building blocks that led to the creation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Stunning, lavish, and fact-filled, this book personifies the phrase Make Mine Marvel, and on that note, in the words of Stan Lee…

The past decade has seen considerable interest and progress in unraveling the beneficial health effects of tea, particularly its polyphenolic components and its antioxidant activity. Understanding the science behind the claims will help in the production and marketing of teas and tea products. Pulling together recent research and presenting it in an organized format, Tea and Tea Products discusses the manufacturing and chemistry of various teas including green, black, Pu-erh, white, and GABA teas.
Emphasizing black and green teas equally, the book presents comprehensive and up-to-date reviews and perspectives on the chemistry of tea components and the molecular biology of green tea catechins and black tea theaflavins. It covers the analysis, formation mechanisms, and bioavailability of tea polyphenols and discusses bioactivities of teas including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and anti diabetes.
Increased awareness of the many health benefits of tea has fueled an increase in the market for ready to drink teas and tea products in general that will continue to grow. This expanding market requires a resource that provides the evidence. The editors of this volume have more than 100 research publications in tea, and experience in editing more than 50 books between them. Under their expertise and editorial guidance, the contributors present chapters that explore the science behind the health claims of teas.

Gormenghast, that is, the main massing of the original stone, taken by itself would have displayed a certain ponderous architectural quality were it possible to have ignored the circumfusion of those mean dwellings that swarmed like an epidemic around its outer walls. They sprawled over the sloping earth, each one half way over its neighbour until, held back by the castle ramparts, the innermost of these hovels laid hold on the great walls, clamping themselves thereto like limpets to a rock
So begins Titus Groan, the first book in the Gormenghast series by Mervyn Peake; a novel that distinguishes itself by its hauntingly dark and sumptuous prose. Characters with names like Mr. Flay, Nanny Slagg, Doctor Prunesquallor, Steerpike, and Lord Sepulchrave live in the halls of the dark setting of Gormenghast, a castle and a kingdom joined into one vast, sprawling collection of buildings and ramparts. In the contemporary world of fantasy literature, frequently inundated with formulaic Tolkien-esque books, the Gormenghast series deserves a place with the most celebrated of works.
This raises the question of its current obscurity. Perhaps much of the reason that it has remained so unknown is its uncommon narrative style. Titus, the title character, remains a toddler throughout the entire story, and no clear hero ever emerges. In a genre where the dichotomy of good versus evil is ever apparent, Gormenghast departs from convention. Peake chooses to immerse his reader in a visceral, nearly tangible realm rather than provide serious action. Therefore, I warn you now, Peake is not a writer for everybody. If you like a fast paced story, I would advise against the series, as Titus Groan is frequently meandering and slow.
The first novel in the trilogy follows the actions of the Groans, a family of ancient heritage who have produced the Earl of Gormenghast for seventy-seven generations. Newly born Titus is the next in line to the Earldom, but for the majority of the novel, we follow his sister, Fuschia Groan, and the Machiavellian youth Steerpike, as well as several of the servants of the castle. Peake succeeds admirably in his character development, introducing characters without bias so that it is impossible to predict their development based on their initial description alone. The characters develop personalities rather than sporting embellished stereotypes.
The novel is tinged by underlying tensions of loneliness and alienation, even though it contains its own dark humor. The inhabitants of Gormenghast are few and solitary. Lord Sepulchrave and Lady Gertrude, the Earl and his wife, never talk and only see each other at the numerous meaningless rituals that dictate life at the castle. Fuschia Groan, their daughter, has grown up knowing only the love of her old Nanny, and has lost herself in vivid daydreams. But it is not all bleak and depressing—there is a comedy in their interactions, and hope as each character finds something to love, be it themselves or their hundreds of white cats (you’ll have to read it to figure that one out). With this in mind, I heartily recommend Titus Groan to any discerning reader.

Scar Tissue and Other Stories came out in early May but what with Continuum Convention and getting Kitty and Cadaver ready for that, I never held a proper launch for the short story collection.
So now I’m organised and will be having an online launch for the book from 3-5 July: over three days there’ll be Q&As, some sneak previews, and some giveaways for copies of Scar Tissue, Ravenfall, Kitty and Cadaver, Walking Shadows and The Adventure of the Colonial Boy!
In the lead-up to the launch proper, I’ve been posting about elements of the stories for the collection.
From a reader:
“And their stories are interesting, some painful, some hopeful, some funny; there are apocalypses, and vampires, humans and werewolves. There are even a couple of poems. And oh, god, I love them, all of them.”
If you’re interested, join the Facebook event and check out the posts all this week and for the three days of the launch!
Giveaways are open to people from any country and won’t be finalised until after the launch, so everyone has plenty of time to participate.
It’s an open event so please join in, invite anyone you think might enjoy it! You can even pop in and leave any Q&A questions you might have about my writing, my books or anything else that occurs to you 🙂
(The launch is open for discussions right now and for a few days after the official dates, so you can drop in and out as you please at whatever time suits you best.)
Technically, this curious and charming book is A Night with the Knight of the Burning Pestle: Full of Mirth and Delight by Francis Beaumont and Julie Bozza. Beaumont wrote the original 1607 play-within-a-play that forms the central part of the story. Julie Bozza has added another layer of metatextual storytelling with the relationship between two of the play’s performers, Dale and Topher.
The Knight of the Burning Pestle was an unusual play in its time: performed once only in 1607, published in 1613, it’s a satire on chivalric romances of the time and considers the fourth wall as less than the dust beneath its feet.
First, to precis the Beaumont play: a group of actors are putting on a romance called The London Merchant. To the surprise (I expect) of all the punters, two audience members – a grocer and his wife – complain loudly about the representation of the middle classes. The grocer sends his apprentice, Rafe, onstage to show what the middle classes are made of. Rafe is dubbed the Knight of the Burning Pestle and seems not to notice that it’s not kindly meant. His antics keep bursting in on the plot of The London Merchant until it tangles up with that story.
A Night with the Knight of the Burning Pestle swirls another layer into the parfait with a behind-the-scenes love story. Dale, who plays Rafe, and Topher, who plays Jasper, had a one night stand in the past. Anything more didn’t gel with Dale’s grand Life Plan. Now, on the last night of the play’s run, Topher wants Dale to reignite their connection and see there’s something worth sharing for the long term.
Dale resists – it doesn’t fit with the plan – and over the course of the night, their relationship clashes and transforms as this 17th century satire offers some meaning to their 21st century lives.
A reader might fear that the layers of story – actors playing actors in The London Merchant interacting as actor/character with audience members playing Rafe and his sidekicks – will render the whole too muddled to follow.
Fear not, reader. You’re in good hands with Julie Bozza. She’s always been a skilled storyteller with a grasp of the complex, and her knowledge of and affection for theatre and for the Beaumont play are clear (she acknowledges several influential productions).
She handles each layer of the story with clarity, delicacy and warmth, allowing the crossovers of relationships, themes and centuries room to develop without ever overwhelming you.
The Dale/Topher romance underpins the story rather than being the whole focus – there’s as much joy to be had in how the play actually unfolds as with these two lads getting their romantic act together – but that feels rightly balanced with what also feels like a love letter to an obscure play that was a failure for its playwright at the time. I do hope Francis Beaumont knows, somewhere, that Julia Bozza loves him. And at the end of this book, so do I!
A Night with the Knight of the Burning Pestle is an ebook release of the 2017 paperback and can be found at:


The Semantics of the Future
Routledge, 13 janv. 2009 - 170 pages
This book builds a semantics for several kinds of future-referring expressions, including will sentences, be going to sentences, and futurates. While there exists previous work on future-referring expressions, this is the first treatment of such a variety of expressions in a formal semantic framework. Arguments presented herein explicate the meanings of these expressions, and account for similarities and differences among them. Shared is a future-oriented model with a systematic alternation between inertial and bouletic ordering sources that provide a new way of understanding the age-old future Law of the Excluded Middle, evident in all of the future-referring expressions. A difference found among these meanings is the presence or absence of progressive- or generic-like aspect in a position higher than the future modal. These very high aspectual operators affect the temporal argument of the modal's accessibility relation, with detectable effects that can be used to determine scope relations in future conditionals. Copley's analysis thus addresses a number of issues of great interest to formal semanticists, from modal and aspectual semantics, to the mapping of functional elements in the clause, to the logical form of conditionals.

This book club aims to bring students and professionals of STEM subjects together, to discuss books related to women in STEM, to share views and experiences, to network and to help each other overcome the barriers in the male-dominated STEM environments. It is organised and moderated by Dr Athina Frantzana and her spreadtheword_project, and it is open to all genders. This year our discussions will take place once every two months.
In January’s meeting, we will discuss a book by Dava Sobel from 2016:
The Glass Universe: How the Ladies of the Harvard Observatory Took the Measure of the Stars
Grab a copy (10% from the bookshop) , have a read, join us for a cuppa and a good chat!
_ “With Sobel’s book, the history of the Harvard computers escapes no more. Knowing the stories of those determined women, who persevered under trying circumstances (including being saddled with the dismissive nickname “Pickering’s harem”) and succeeded in their quest for knowledge, inspires me in my day-to-day endeavors. The Harvard computers chose to pursue science no matter the cost, and in doing so they laid the groundwork for our current understanding of stellar evolution.” - Physics Today review) _
** Dr Athina Frantzana has been researching women’s representation and experiences in STEM for more than 5 years. She has organised and participated in a number of international and local conferences and events presenting her work. She works tirelessly towards achieving gender equality in STEM by raising awareness and sharing knowledge on women in STEM matters, through mentoring, researching, and various projects and outreach activities.
** Readers don’t have to buy the bookclub book from the shop, however we do rely on those book sales to be able to keep the event & refreshments free; to pay our booksellers for their time prepping & running book clubs and to keep the lights on. Please do NOT buy your books from am*z*on, if you cannot afford to buy the book then PLEASE support your local library.**

Genesis 1:26–27 in the Exegetical Context of Formative Judaism
This volume combines Targum studies with Judaic studies. The author assigns different Targums each to a respective particular “Sitz im Leben”, stressing the close connection between Targum and Midrash literature. She challenges the assumption that all extant Targums were compiled for the Synagogue. Instead, she suggests that Targum Onqelos might have fulfilled a function in the context of the early beth din and demonstrates that Pseudo-Jonathan can be linked with the rhetorical practices which abounded in later amoraic, educational circles.

The True Meaning of Thanksgiving
A reminder of the history of this holiday by Earl P. Holt,
"Despite the quaint stories taught in school as part of some sort of “multicultural appreciation curriculum,” Thanksgiving has nothing to do with Indians saving the early colonists from starvation: That never happened. Instead, Thanksgiving is actually America’s National Holiday, in which we celebrate our deliverance from socialism and collectivism.
The earliest recorded settlers in the New World landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620. On their voyage across the Atlantic, these Pilgrims established the Mayflower Compact, which was also the first recorded instance of a socialistic political economy in North America.
Among many other things, (not all of them bad,) participants in the Mayflower Compact agreed that everyone would contribute to a common store of food and other goods, and that each person would have an equal share in its ownership and use.
The Governor-General, William Bradford, wrote a detailed history of the Mayflower Company, (”Plymouth Plantation: 1620-1647.”) In it he commented that there was a great deal of sloth among some of the strongest and most able members, who voiced the opinion that it was unfair that they should make a disproportionately large contribution to the common store but, in return, receive a share no greater than that of any other.
Consequently, much arable land was left fallow, and by the Winter of 1620-1621, their already meager food stores began to dwindle. Approximately one-third of the Mayflower Company died that first winter, most succumbing to starvation and diseases associated with starvation.
The following year, the socialistic elements of the Mayflower Compact were jettisoned, specifically, those dealing with this common food store and the equal division of shares among members. The institution of private property was re-established and vigorously defended. Members were free to work for their own good on their own plots of land, and were also free to dispose of the fruits of their labor as they saw fit.
As a consequence of the economic benefits of private property, the following year produced such an enormous bounty that these early colonists were beside themselves with gratitude. As a gesture of their gratitude to God for their great fortune, they established a national day of Thanksgiving, and even invited friendly Indians to share in their bounty."
May you all have a Happy Thanksgiving with Family and Friends!

Sacred Poetry from Around the World
Search the Poetry Chaikhana site:
To take the fleeting for the permanent
Is foolish and pitiable.
Great wealth, like a crowd at a concert,
Gathers and melts.
Wealth never stays; use it on the instant
On things that stay.
A day, so called, if rightly understood,
Is a sword hacking at life.
Do good in time, ere the tongue dies
With the last hiccup.
"He was here yesterday," gloats the earth over man,
"Today he is gone."
Men unsure of the next moment
Make more than a million plans.
Lik a bird's to the shell it leaves
Is life's link to its body.
Death is but a sleep, and birth
Can life never have a house of its own
Cribbed ever in its cabin?
