But Gates’s most important proposals involve new technologies. He favours a green new deal, carbon pricing and heightened corporate responsibility. To achieve this, Gates provides a set of measures that could, if the UK government is listening, be transposed point by point into the formal agenda for the this year’s 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference, Cop26, in Glasgow. We would need to use more renewables and fewer fossil fuels (which would account for roughly 27% of the reduction needed in emissions), and change how we manufacture our goods (31%), grow our food (18%), travel (16%), and keep our buildings warm or cool (6%). Ever the technologist, Gates sets out a spreadsheet for getting rid of those 51bn tonnes of greenhouse gases and achieving net carbon zero emissions by 2050.

Therefore, we should use “anger” as a clarifying lens through which to not only rethink women’s history but to also inform our understanding of current events and social movements. However, there are countless instances throughout history of women’s anger fueling political and social change. Rebecca Traister, author of Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger, argued during her recent book talk at Rotman that the anger Parks felt over racial segregation and sexual violence against black women is often omitted from her story because the expression of women’s anger (particularly women of colour) has been, and still is, systematically discouraged. There’s one important aspect of Parks’ story, however, that is largely ignored: the history of her anger and how it fueled her activism well before 1955. Most know the story of Rosa Parks. The African American woman from Montgomery, Alabama who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in 1955 sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott. But when it's revealed her new ally isn't who he says he is, her one night of fun may last past dawn. When her cover is nearly blown, a mysterious stranger intercedes, and Prim finds an unexpected partner in mischief. Donning a mask, Prim escapes to the infamous Vauxhall Gardens for one wild night. But when her parents decide to delay her debut into English society, Prim hatches a plan to go rogue on the night of her sixteenth birthday. The youngest of four daughters, Primrose Ainsworth is used to getting lost in the shuffle. Click here to purchase from Rakuten Kobo In this irreverent regency romp by New York Times best-selling author Sophie Jordan, newly minted sixteen-year-old Primrose Ainsworth finds herself on a wayward birthday adventure through London with a mysterious hero - perfect for fans of My Lady Jane. Bolts of fabric stacked neatly upon shelves lining one long wall created a colorful patchwork that never failed to tickle Anabelle’s imagination. She wiped her sleeve across her damp brow and swept aside the muslin curtain that led to the workroom in the back of Mrs. Someone in their household had to be practical. He was Mama’s only glimmer of hope-and he wasn’t cheap. Mama would be appalled if she knew about the money-making scheme, but, truth be told, Anabelle would have extorted money from the Archbishop himself to pay for Dr. The primary location in which Anabelle harvested secrets was not a seedy alley or gaming hell, but a small reputable dress shop situated on Bond Street where she worked as a seamstress. Perhaps her actions met the crudest definition of the word, but she preferred “accepting coin in exchange for the solemn promise to safeguard secrets.” Much less nefarious, and a girl had to sleep at night. What Miss Anabelle Honeycote did to support her family was most certainly not that. It put one in mind of a villain who fleeced the pockets and slandered the names of hapless victims.

Alteration: (1) A change made to a garment in order to improve the fit or style. Where Cooper differs completely from Burns and Clowes is in artistic interpretation. It’s a metaphor for later events, as the intimacy in an enclosed space plays out. Martin notes how almost imperceptible body movements become ripples, but it’s something that’s only been captured in slow motion since the advent of film. He rapidly becomes infatuated, and the tighter the restrictive fetish gear she wears, the looser Tina’s inhibitions become, reiterating how she likes to be ordered around. Determined not to sully his art with professional models, he sources one from handing cards to women on the street, and is surprised when the overweight and homely Tina makes an appointment. He’s a none too successful artist who’s just scored a grant from a long forgotten application to create a show concerning erotic fine art. We read about Martin Descerres recording his thoughts of events three years after they occurred. So, of course, does David Cronenberg, and having him write the introduction to Ripple is obviously a smart commercial move aimed at those who’re aware of him and his disturbing films, yet it also draws home how similar to his artistic sensibilities Cooper’s comics are. A first person narrative in a non-autobiographical story is a surprisingly rare technique in comics, and it’s no coincidence that those who use it like Charles Burns and Dan Clowes create a similarly disturbing blurring of reality to Dave Cooper. It will make your skin crawl and your brows furrow in disgust, it will make you feel icky, like you’re reading something you shouldn’t, and if you’re a woman it will bring an all too familiar terror into your home. You shouldn’t get comfy in bed and think you can read American Psycho right before you go to sleep, it just isn’t that kind of book. This isn’t a book that you should read for pleasure, it’s very far from a fun, quick read. I do agree that this book is a masterpiece in that it is written very well, almost too well at times, giving the reader an eerie chill down their spine and the insistent feeling that forces them to peer over their shoulder more than once. American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis is a literary classic, a book that people say you should read at least once in your lifetime. This book being the first review on RedrumReads really sets the ~spooky~ tone for the blog, even though I won’t be reading many books quite like this one. “Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do?” – Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho There is a lovely story about the lengths parents will go to for thir children and the power of imagination and desire.

We don't just want to rearrange the pieces of ourselves so that they look better temporarily. At these times what's needed is not simply more change or an adjustment in our outer life, but profound transformation. We know we're being called to something more significant and expanded - we can feel it. How we have been living, working and loving just isn't enough or even acceptable anymore. There are pivotal moments in the lives of all seekers when we realize that we've been travelling on our path of growth towards happiness and fulfilment, but, simply put, we want to go faster. It is for the visionaries, the awakeners, the Soul Shifters. Becoming a seer, and not just a seeker, is not for the faint of heart.

Cora Briggs and Jedwin Sparrow were immediately likable characters, along with the rather plain daughter of the local vicar, Tulsa May Bruder, who I see becomes one of the main characters of the sequel, Runabout, which takes place ten years later. Set in Oklahoma in 1906, there were serious implications with being involved with a divorcee the community was fiercely judgmental and the poor young woman was labelled and blamed through no fault of her own. She is horrified and prepares to send him packing, except for the temptation of taking revenge on the tittle-tattling ladies of the town, led by his mother. Jedwin Sparrow has decided he needs to spread some wild oats before thinking about marriage, and he reckons the best place to start is the local divorcee, Cora Briggs. As it was, it took me a while to get into the book, as I'm not much of a Romance reader, but it was the sense of humour running through the narrative that kept me reading. I realised that if I'd been originally presented with the pink cover I wouldn't even have read the book content before passing it by. After listening to the book I registered it on BookLikes, only to discover a pink cover with a couple encircled by flowers. This is a prime example of the effect of a cover on readers - I requested the audio version of this book through Audiobook Boom, having seen the cover showing a bicycle leaned up against a rustic wooden fence. Everything was perfect…until the mirror sucked Robin into Sleeping Beauty’s story! My brother and I dove in after her, but we couldn’t stop her from pricking her finger on the spindle.
