Raleigh’s wit, ambition, and adventurous spirit endear him to all, including the queen herself, but Elizabeth’s favor proves as much hindrance as help, as Raleigh still has but one goal in mind to take to the seas and secure his place as one of the great explorers of the age. He dreams of someday exploring the New World he’s heard about in snippets of sailors’ stories on the docks of the fishing villages where he was raised and his good fortune leads him to rise in the court of Elizabeth I, becoming a most trusted friend and advisor to the power players of the day. Raleigh knew from the time he was a boy that his life would be exceptional. In one of her earliest works, beloved author Norah Lofts brings us her riveting and romantic account of Sir Walter Raleigh and the court of Elizabeth I.

Endgame details how Joker reacts to Batman's perceived betrayal of their dynamic. Snyder described "Endgame" as the concluding chapter of his Joker story, initially set up in " Zero Year" with a possible origin for the New 52 Joker, and continued with "Death of the Family" highlighting how Joker initially found meaning in his relationship with Batman. The Joker's role as the story arc's central villain was not announced, and was detailed only in the issue's final pages, revealing the character would return to comics for the first time since his disappearance at the end of the "Death of the Family" (DotF) story arc in 2012, also written by Snyder. Written by Scott Snyder with art by Greg Capullo, "Endgame" was first printed in October 2014, in Batman #35. Set after the events of Batman Eternal, the story involves the return of Batman's arch-enemy, the Joker, following his disappearance in the 2012 story arc " Death of the Family". " Batman: Endgame" is a six-issue comic book story arc first published by DC Comics in 2014, featuring the fictional superhero Batman. Dick is unaware of his companion’s feminine gender, but it is revealed to the reader in the first chapter or two when it would have been better kept as a surprise. Soon Dick befriends a young man who is really a girl in disguise, in fact the young woman to whom Dick is arranged to be married. The note also hints that Sir Daniel may be responsible for the death of Dick’s father, which causes the young man to suspect his benefactor and wonder if he is fighting on the right side of this war. The arrow, colored black, bears a note pronouncing a sentence of death on Sir Daniel and three of his closest cohorts. Before the battle begins, one of Dick’s colleagues is killed by an arrow from an unseen archer. Young squire Richard “Dick” Shelton doesn’t have an opinion either way, but his guardian, Sir Daniel Brackley, is for Lancaster, so Dick takes up arms for that side. As the novel opens, the forces of both parties are gathering for the Battle of Risingham (a fictional battle, I believe?). The Black Arrow takes place during the War of the Roses, the 15th century conflict between the houses of Lancaster and York, two branches of the English royal family fighting for the throne. I was delighted (though not at all surprised) to see Jess livetweet her admiration of the book, starting with the compelling prose, the lucid technical explanations and the visceral anecdotes - but then moving on to the deeper technical inspiration she found in the book. Recently, I suggested it as beach reading to Jess Frazelle, and apparently with perfect timing: when I saw the book at the top of her vacation pile, I knew a fuse had been lit. Since reading it over two decades ago, I have recommended The Soul of a Machine at essentially every opportunity, believing that it is a part of computing’s literary foundation - that it should be considered our Odyssey. I - like so many before and after me - found the book to be life changing: by telling the stories of the people behind the machine, the book showed the creative passion among engineers that might otherwise appear anodyne, inspiring me to chart a course that might one day allow me to make a similar mark. Taking it off the shelf, the book grabbed me from its first descriptions of Tom West, captivating me with the epic tale of the development of the Eagle at Data General. At school, I had started to find a calling in computing systems, and now in the den, an old book suddenly caught my eye: Tracy Kidder’s The Soul of a New Machine. Long ago as an undergraduate, I found myself back home on a break from school, bored and with eyes wandering idly across a family bookshelf. But they won't be the same people who landed on it. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. Everything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every step. Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the tragedy that has thrown them into each other's arms. We immediately meet our two main characters- Tarver, a solider, and Lilac, the daughter of the richest and most powerful man in the universe. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help. These Broken Stars, written by the duo Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, takes us to space aboard a massive luxury ship, similar to the Titanic. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they're worth. Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen are the only survivors. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. It's a night like any other on board the Icarus. "One of the most intense, thrilling, and achingly beautiful stories I've ever read."-Marie Lu, New York Times best-selling author of the Legend trilogy The first in the New York Times bestselling author duo Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner's sweeping science fiction trilogy, These Broken Stars is a timeless love story about hope and survival in the face of unthinkable odds. Download These Broken Stars Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle He sought out moments of quiet humanity in the Manhattan maelstrom, forging a unique urban pastoral from the most unlikely of circumstances. Instead, for him the camera provided an alternative way of seeing, of framing events and interpreting reality. Leiter embraced photography with a painter’s eye and turned ordinary everyday moments into beautiful abstract color imagery. He is best known for his pioneering color photography in the 1940s and 1950s. But Leiter’s sensibility - comparable to the European intimism of Bonnard, a painter he greatly admires - placed him outside the visceral confrontations with urban anxiety associated with photographers such as Robert Frank or William Klein. Saul Leiter (1923-2013) was a master street photographer and painter. The semi-mythical notion of the ‘New York street photographer’ was born at the same time, in the late-1940s. Though he continued to paint, exhibiting alongside Philip Guston and Willem de Kooning, Leiter’s camera became - like an extension of his arm and mind - an ever-present interpreter of life in the metropolis. Leiter moved to New York in 1946 intending to be a painter and through his friendship with the abstract expressionist Richard Pousette-Dart he quickly recognized the creative potential of photography. Although Edward Steichen exhibited some of Saul Leiter’s color photographs at the Museum of Modern Art in 1953, for forty years afterwards they remained virtually unknown to the art world.
