Bryan stevenson innocence project7/8/2023 Many people with serious health problems and disabilities go untreated until those medical issues manifest into other problems. Many of my clients could have avoided engagement with the criminal justice system if they could afford to treat mental health disabilities, drug dependency, trauma disorders, or health problems triggered by childhood adversity. Both systems also rely on a lot of actors with enormous discretion, which frequently means that people of color or other disfavored people can sometimes receive inadequate attention or care. To me, there is a direct connection between health care and criminal justice. Both systems are very wealth-dependent when it comes to quality of services and outcomes, which creates a kind of structural inequality that we need to address. Our criminal justice system often treats you better if you are rich and guilty than if you are poor and innocent. What is the link between your criminal justice work and the efforts of people working to improve health care? Stevenson will be one of the keynote speakers at the 2017 IHI National Forum (December 10–13, 2017). In a recent interview with IHI, Stevenson described the connections between striving to improve health care and fighting injustice, including the need for compassion and the risk of burnout. Bryan Stevenson is founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, an attorney, and a best-selling author.

After she published First Channel and Savage Empire, she decided to give a Star Trek novel, describing the story as one that "grew out of my fannish stories in the Night of the Twin Moons universe." She wrote a sequel which was published in February 1988. She decided afterwards to write a Star Trek novel, but shelved the idea at first as Pocket Books were only accepting submissions from published authors at the time. Lorrah decided to write a script for Star Trek: The Original Series after seeing the first episode, but found that she couldn't due to issues with Hollywood agents. But he knows criminal behavior when he sees it, and presses on. Kirk, trying to solve the case, is hampered by some Vulcans' belief that it would be illogical for murder to be happening on their home world, and that the deaths are therefore accidents. Kirk encounters Spock's mother, Amanda Grayson, and Spock's father, Sarek, and soon becomes heavily involved in Spock's personal life. McCoy travel to a hospital facility on Vulcan to acquire treatment for a badly wounded Enterprise crew member.

Boris strugatsky books7/8/2023 Until 1955, he worked as a teacher and interpreter for the military. In 1943, he was drafted into the Soviet Army, training first at the artillery school in Aktyubinsk and later at the Military Institute of Foreign Languages in Moscow, which he graduated from in 1949 as an interpreter of Japanese and English. In January of 1942, Arkady and his dad were evacuated from the Siege of Leningrad, however Arkady was the sole survivor in his train car, since his dad died upon reaching Vologda. Other adaptations of their work include “Dead Mountaineer’s Hotel” (1979), “The Sorcerers” (1982, and based off “Monday Begins on Saturday”), and “The Ugly Swans (2006).“Hard to Be a God” was adapted twice, once in 1989 and again in 2013.Īrkady was born Augin Batumi to a Jewish art critic father and a Russian Orthodox teacher mom, but the family would later move to Leningrad. Andrei Tarkovsky adapted the book for the screen into a movie called “Stalker”, released in 1979. Their best known novel was translated into English as “Roadside Picnic”. Their early work was influenced by Stanislaw Lem and Ivan Yefremov, but later would develop their own, unique style of science fiction writing. Arkady and Boris Strugatsky were Soviet Russian science fiction writers that collaborated throughout most of their careers.

Nothing like the sun novel7/7/2023 Meanwhile, Shakespeare is cuckolded by his younger brother Richard, who stayed behind in Stratford, as proposed in the “Scylla and Charybdis” episode of Joyce’s Ulysses, and whom Shakespeare discovers here in bed in flagrante with Anne Hathaway. She is seduced by Shakespeare’s foppish friend, patron, and occasional lover, the Earl of Southampton, catches syphilis from him, and imparts it to Shakespeare himself. Notorious Elizabethan prostitute Lucy Negro is cast as Shakespeare’s East Indian mistress, a former Muslim originally named Fatjmah, and the Dark Lady of his sonnets. It was chosen by Margaret and here’s her review: This book is only suited to those who have some knowledge of Shakespeare’s work and his background. Life in contemporary London is presented in vivid, lavish detail as equal parts chaotic, squalid, and spectacular. Our novel for June is Nothing Like the Sun by Anthony Burgess, a fictional biography of William Shakespeare, first published in 1964. Burgess uses snippets from Shakespeare’s own plays as well as slang, some historical, some invented, to evoke Elizabethan English. Its most salient feature is the extravagant chaos of its prose, presented as Shakespeare’s own stream of consciousness the novel is written in an exuberant, head-spinning, sometimes-distracting style, modeled on Joyce’s Ulysses. This highly-fictionalized, slightly seedy pseudo-biography of Shakespeare is presented in a frame story as a bravura exposition of sonnet 147, “My love is as a fever,” etc., by a drunken professor, “Mr.

The rest, including the other big name - Glen David Gold, Elmore Leonard, Harlan Ellison, Dave Eggers - didn't fill me with confidence given the output so far. Michael Chabon and Rick Moody both supply 70 page stories and having read both writers' previous work I knew I wouldn't like them. I stopped at that point realising there were 400 pages left! 400 pages of potentially more soul crushing tedium. Amazingly, this story wasn't hard boiled like the genre it sets out to represent and was utterly dreary. It's literally a story about a metal plate.Ī week later, I picked another famous writer, Michael Crichton, and his story "Blood Doesn't Come Out" a story about a private detective who shoots his mother. Going for a more well known writer I picked up with Stephen King's "The Tale of Gray Dick", a story set in his Dark Tower world. I put the book down for several days out of boredom. Yup, that's the opening salvo that's supposed to have you clutching the book feverishly. Jim Shepard opens with a story called "Tedford and the Megalodon", a snoozer about a guy who goes looking for a prehistoric fish (I think anyway, I was so bored I drifted in and out) and ultimately finds it only to have it swim away. Big name writers try to write genre pulp fiction from the '30s and '40s and the results are dire. Like the cover and the way the stories are presented, the title "Thrilling Tales" is an ironic smirk at the content.

Elfblood by Kyra Dune7/7/2023 The relationships among the characters are also the awkward ones around this age. The story is very straight forward, with a couple of minor surprises, so I think a younger reader would enjoy this book. I found the events, story telling, and world building a bit simplistic. Sadly, unlike other fantasy novels aimed at that group age, which can be also enjoyed by adults, it is not the case here. The main characters are around 15 years old, and I would say that this book is aimed at young teens. The war and the mining reminds me of the uranium boom during the 40s and WWII, and I am sure it was inspired by it. Throughout the book, guns, elevators, and computers are mentioned, so it would classify as urban fantasy, but it's not clear what year it is set in (or inspired) since there is little mentioned about technology, clothes, or anything else. There are no descriptions about the characters nor the environment. It was clear that it was fantasy, but we get so little information that it's difficult to have an idea about the world Charlie lives in. Living in a country of humans, where elves are seen as a lesser race and only regarded as slaves, Charlie's life is not an easy one in the orphanage where he lives.Īt first I was not sure how to classify this book. My original Elfblood audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.Ĭharlie is what is known as an Elfblood.
